Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To assess in vivo macrophage targeting potential of PEG-fMLF nanocarriers and to investigate their biodistribution, peritoneal macrophage uptake, and pharmacokinetics.
METHODS: Multiple copies of fMLF were conjugated to purchased and novel (branched, peptide-based) PEG nanocarriers. Peritoneal macrophage uptake was evaluated in mice 4 hours after IP administration of fluorescence-labeled PEG-fMLF nanocarriers. Pharmacokinetics and biodistribution were determined in rats after IV administration of tritiated PEG-fMLF nanocarriers.
RESULTS: Attachment of one, two, or four fMLF copies increased uptake in macrophages by 3.8-, 11.3-, and 23.6-fold compared to PEG without fMLF. Pharmacokinetic properties and tissue distribution also differed between nanocarriers with and without fMLF. Attachment of fMLF residues increased the t(1/2) of PEG(5K) by threefold but decreased the t(1/2) of PEG(20K) by 40%. Attachment of fMLF increased accumulation of nanocarriers into macrophages of liver, kidneys and spleen. However, on a molar basis, penetration was equivalent suggesting nanocarrier size and targeting moieties are important determinants.
CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the feasibility for targeting macrophages, a primary HIV reservoir site. However, these studies also suggest that balancing peripheral tissue penetration (a size-dependent phenomenon) versus target cell uptake specificity remains a challenge to overcome.
