Preparation of technetium labeled docetaxel liposome and its distribution in rabbits
ssue distribution of docetaxel liposome (DTX-LP) in rabbits. Methods DTX-LP was labeled with 99mTC (DTX-LP-
99m
TC) by solid dispersion and effervescent techniques. The appearance
particle size
Zeta potential
encapsulation efficiency
drug loading rate and radiochemical purity of DTX-LP-
99m
TC were investigated. DTX-LP-
99m
TC or
99m
TC-Free was injected to rabbits through ear vein
respectively. Then the rabbits were scanned with SPECT/CT to obtain the three-dimensional radioactive images. The rabbits were sacrificed at 1
2
4
8 and 12 h after injection
and the heart
liver
spleen
lungs
kidneys and brain were harvested. The radioactive counts (RC) of these organs were detected using thyroid function tester. According to RC
the average relative uptake rate (Re) and average targeting efficiency (Te) of each organ were calculated. ResultsDTX-LP-
99m
TC was in spherical shape
at a particle size of 726 nm and with a Zeta potential of -35.6 mV. Its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate were (90.27±1.15)% and (1.30±0.20)%
respectively. After placing at room temperature for 1
4 and 12 h
the radiochemical purity of DTX-LP-
99m
TC was 98.45%
96.32% and 94.28%
respectively
while it was 96.78%
93.45% and 91.56% separately after being incubated at 37 ℃ in rabbit serum. The radioactive enriched image of lung was observed in the rabbits injected with DTX-LP-
99m
TC. RC of per gram tissue in the DTX-LP-
99m
TC group was reduced in the lungs
spleen
liver
kidneys
heart and brain in order. In contrast
it was in the liver
spleen
kidneys
heart
lungs and brain in the
99m
TC-Free group. At the same time
RC of the same organ were significant different between DTX-LP-
99m
TC group and 99mTC-free group (P0.01). Re showed that the RC of the lungs
spleen and brain were by 64.41
1.62 and 1.57 times higher in the DTX-LP-
99m
TC group than the
99m
TC-Free group
respectively. But the RC of
the heart
liver and kidneys in DTX-LP-
99m
TC group were significantly lower than that of
99m
TC-Free group. In the DTX-LP-
99m
TC group
the RC of lung was 64.01 times higher than that of the brain
40.73 times higher than that of the heart
14.01 times than that of the kidneys and 3.22 times than that of the liver
respectively. Conclusion DTX-LP is accumulated in the rabbit’s lungs
