Investigating the potential of the SI306 Src inhibitor and its liposomal formulation in the non-small cell lung cancer treatment. (PubMed, Int J Pharm)
Furthermore, both SI306 and Lipo-SI306 exhibited lower cytotoxicity towards HaCaT cells than dasatinib and gefitinib, with CC50s approximately one order of magnitude higher. Hemolytic activity (ranging from 1.85 % as liposomal formulation, to 3.81 % in DMSO and to 14.83 % in Tween80 MIX, respectively) and the median lethal dose (LD50) of 200 mg/kg on Tenebrio molitor coleoptera confirmed the favorable safety profile of SI306. Finally, pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies in healthy mice showed prolonged circulation time and increased lung accumulation of SI306 when administered as liposomal formulation, highlighting the potential therapeutic advantages of this drug delivery system for NSCLC treatment.
