AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths.
Traditional systemic routes of drug delivery have yielded limited results because of the inability to provide effective concentrations at the sites of cancer without encountering dose-limiting toxicity.
Its use, however, may be limited by acquired resistance of tumor cells to the drug.
The drug is administered intravenously in a clinical setting since its bioavailability is poor after oral administration.
However, one limiting factor is that cyclosporin A is a powerful immunosuppressive agent and can cause nephrotoxicity (30).
The prior art is deficient in the lack of a method of inhibiting the growth of pulmonary tumors.

example 1

Chemicals

[0042] Paclitaxel was obtained from SuperGen (San Ramon, Calif.). Cyclosporin A was purchased from Chemwerth (Woodridge, Conn.). Dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) was purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, Ala.). Organic solvents (HPLC grade) were obtained from Fisher Scientific. Sterile water for irrigation was purchased from Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Deerfield, Ill.).

example 2

Animals

[0043] Female BALB / c mice (7-8 weeks old) were obtained from Harlan-Sprague Dawley (Indianapolis, Ind.) and housed in standard cages with food and water provided ad libitum. Experiments were performed with the approval of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

example 3

Cell Culture and Animal Model

[0044] The mouse renal carcinoma cell line (Renca) was provided by and maintained by serial passages as described by Dr. Robert Wiltrout, National Cancer Institute (Frederick, Md.). Prior to in vivo implantation, Renca cells were cultured in vitro for 2 passages as described previously (14). To induce pulmonary metastases, 100,000 cells were injected intravenously in 0.2 ml saline via tail vein in syngeneic BALB / c mice.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of inhibiting growth of lung metastases in an individual comprising the steps of administering a dose of a lipid-drug enhancer liposomal complex and, in sequence, administering a dose of a lipid-anticancer drug liposomal complex. Furthermore, the lipid-drug enhancer liposomal complex may be administered in a continuing dose with the lipid-anticancer drug liposomal complex whereby both liposomal complexes are mixed in the nebulizer. Methods of inhibiting growth of lung metastases in an individual by the sequential administration via aerosolization of a dilauroylphosphatidylcholine-cyclosporin A liposomal complex and a dilauroylphosphatidylcholine-paclitaxel liposomal complex are also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This non-provisional application claims benefit of provisional U.S. Ser. No. 60 / 381,767, filed May 20, 2002, now abandoned.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to the fields of pharmacology and cancer treatment. More specifically, this invention relates to the combination of anticancer drugs with a drug-enhancing agent administered by aerosol for the treatment of lung cancer in vivo. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Traditional systemic routes of drug delivery have yielded limited results because of the inability to provide effective concentrations at the sites of cancer without encountering dose-limiting toxicity. An aerosol route for immediate administration of various therapeutic agents to the lungs has been described (1-3). Inhalation of liposomal formulations of the lipophilic anticancer drug, 9-nitroc...
