Resumo: Liposomes composed of a rigid bilayer have high plasma stability; however, they can be challenged in efficacy due to complications in releasing the encapsulated drug as well as being internalized by the tumor cell. On the other hand, fusogenic liposomes may fuse with the plasmatic membrane and release encapsulated material directly into the cytoplasm. In a previous study, fusogenic liposomes composed of alpha-tocopheryl succinate (TS) and doxorubicin (DOX) were developed (pHSL-TS-DOX). These stabilized tumor growth and reduced toxicity compared to a commercial formulation. In the present study, we investigated whether cellular uptake or DOX accumulation in the tumor could justify the better performance of the pHSL-TS-DOX formulation. Release, deformability, and DOX plasmatic concentration studies were also carried out. pHSL-TS-DOX showed an adequate release profile and demonstrated characteristics of a deformable formulation. Data from apoptosis, cell cycle, and nuclear morphology studies have shown that the induction of cell death caused by pHSL-TS-DOX occurred more quickly. Higher DOX cellular uptake and tumor accumulation were observed when pHSL-TSDOX was administered, demonstrating better drug delivery capacity. Therefore, better DOX uptake as well as tumor accumulation explain the great antitumor activity previously demonstrated for this formulation.
