The purpose of our study was to compare the therapeutic effects of doxorubicin in 3 different formulations: (I) in PBS, (2) in conventional liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylglycerol/ egg phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol/dl-a tocopherol, and (3) in sterically stabilized, long-circulating "Stealth
Background. This study compared the therapeutic effects of doxorubicin hydrochloride in saline and in sterically stabilized, long-circulating liposomes composed of hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine/cholesteroljpolyethylene glycol-distearoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (Doxil]. Methods. The drug fo
Monthly treatments with intravenous doxorubicin encapsulated in long circulating, sterically stabilized liposomes delayed the appearance of primary mammary carcinomas and reduced the final incidence from 49 in 50 untreated mice to 46 in 87 treated mice. No toxic side effects of the treatments were o
Passive targeting by sterically stabilized liposomes (SSL), once combined with efficient intracellular delivery, may be a very useful strategy to improve the antitumor efficacy for the anticancer agents. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid tripeptide (RGD) is known to serve as a recognition motif for
