PURPOSE: Nanospheres can be utilised for the targeting of drugs and diagnostic agents to the regional lymph nodes. The surface modification of model polystyrene, (PS), and poly(lactide-co-glycolide),(PLGA), nanospheres by poly(lactide)-poly(ethylene glycol), (PLA:PEG), copolymers has been assessed by in vitro characterisation and in vivo biodistribution studies following subcutaneous administration of the nanospheres to the rat.
METHODS: Three PLA:PEG copolymers were investigated, with PEG chain lengths of 750, 2000 and 5000 Da. The PLA:PEG copolymers were either coated onto the surface of PS and PLGA nanospheres or used as a co-precipitate in the formation of PLGA-PLA:PEG nanospheres. Coating of the nanospheres was confirmed by an increase in their particle size and a corresponding decrease in the surface potential. The kinetics of injection site drainage and lymph node retention was determined over a 24 hour time course for naked, coated and co-precipitated nanosphere systems.
RESULTS: Dependent on the surface characteristics, the distribution of the nanospheres can be significantly modified and the lymph node localisation dramatically enhanced by coating their surfaces with PLA:PEG copolymers or by producing co-precipitate nanospheres of PLGA and PLA:PEG.
CONCLUSIONS: A fully biodegradable nanosphere system has been developed with excellent lymph node targeting characteristics.
