Dawidczyket al. Nanomedicines for cancer therapy mechanismsofuptake and release arenot known, evidence sug- gests that the liposomes are takenupby endocytosis (Seynhaeve etal., 2013). DaunoXome (Gill et al., 1996; Bellott et al., 2001; Lowis et al., 2006) andMarqibo (Bedikian et al., 2011; Silverman and Deitcher, 2013)are liposomal formulationsofdaunorubicinand vincristine, respectively. In contrast toDoxil, the design strategy forDaunoXomeandMarqibo is topromoteuptakeby theMPS, providinga reservoir fromwhich the freedrugcanenter circula- tion, similar toa slow infusion.This is achievedbynot including pegylated lipids in the liposomes (Gill et al., 1996; Bellott et al., 2001;SilvermanandDeitcher,2013).DaunoXomeisabout50nm in diameter (Gill et al., 1996), andMarqibo is about 100nm in diameter (SilvermanandDeitcher,2013). Abraxane, or nab-paclitaxel (nanoparticle albumin bound), is lyophilized human serum albumin non-specifically bound to paclitaxel (Miele et al., 2009). Paclitaxel has very low sol- ubility and is administered with the toxic non-ionic solvent Cremophor,whichcan lead to awide rangeof allergic reactions. Oninjection,Abraxaneparticlesdissociate intosmalleralbumin- paclitaxelcomplexesorunboundpaclitaxel (Yardley,2013).Since albuminisabundantincirculation,Abraxaneprovidesareservoir ofaverylowsolubilitydruginanon-toxicplatform.Theparticles areabout130nmindiameterandcontainabout10,000paclitaxel molecules (Mieleetal., 2009). The pharmacokinetics of these nanomedicines reflects their design (Table2).BrentuximabvedotinandTrastuzumabemtan- sine both have moderate areas under the curve (AUCs), rela- tively lowclearance, and long eliminationhalf-timesof 3–4days (Younes et al., 2010; Lorusso et al., 2011; Girish et al., 2012; Lu et al., 2012; Bradley et al., 2013). Doxil has high AUC, low clearance rate, small distribution volume, and a long elimina- tion half-time (Barenholz, 2012). These features are largely due to thepolyethyleneglycol coating thatprovidesextendedevasion of theMPS andminimizes distribution into peripheral tissues (Gabizon et al., 1994; Hubert et al., 2000; Lyass et al., 2000; Hong and Tseng, 2001; Hamilton et al., 2002). DaunoXome (Gill et al., 1996; Bellott et al., 2001; Lowis et al., 2006) and Marqibo (Bedikian et al., 2011; Silverman and Deitcher, 2013) have clearance rates about an order of magnitude larger than for the ADCs and Doxil, low distribution volumes, and short elimination half-times on the order of 10h. The larger AUC associated with DaunoXome is related to the larger dose range compared toMarqibo.Abraxane has a fast clearance rate, about twoordersofmagnitudes larger thanDaunoXomeandMarqibo, large distribution volume, and elimination half-time similar to DaunoXomeandMarqibo(Sparreboometal., 2005;Andoet al., 2012). The pharmacokinetics for Abraxane are similar to free paclitaxel andtheother freedrugs: lowAUC,highclearance rate, highdistributionvolume,andshorteliminationhalf-time. Overall it is evident that antibody drug conjugates or lipo- somes with a pegylated surface have long elimination half- times, typically of 3–4 days. Increasing elimination half-times is expected to increase tumor accumulation via the EPR effect. However, increased tumor accumulation does not necessarily implyimprovedefficacysinceprocessessuchastransport,uptake, drug release, and delivery to the appropriate cellular compart- mentarealldownstreamofextravasationbytheEPReffect. NANOPARTICLEPLATFORMS,TARGETINGMOIETIES NANOPARTICLEPLATFORMS The development of a broad range of nanoparticle platforms with the ability to tune size, composition, and functionality has provided a significant resource for nanomedicine (Table3) (Niemeyer, 2001; Duncan, 2006; Cho et al., 2008; Greco and Vicent, 2009; Yu et al., 2013). Nanoparticle platforms can be broadlycategorizedasorganic, inorganic, andhybrid. Organic nanoparticles have been widely explored for decades, yielding a large variety of materials, formulations, imaging modalities, cargo, and targets for cancer therapy.
