Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Glucocorticoids (GC) are uniformly used in clinical LN management. Their notorious toxicities, however, have hampered the long-term clinical application. To circumvent GC side effects while maintaining their potent therapeutic efficacy, we have developed a macromolecular prodrug nanomedicine base on dexamethasone (ZSJ-0228). The focus of this study was to investigate its long-term efficacy and, most importantly, safety in the lupus-prone NZB/W F1 mouse. Monthly ZSJ-0228 treatment for five months significantly reduced the incidence of nephritis in NZB/W F1 mice with an improved survival rate. In contrast to treatment with dose equivalent daily free dexamethasone, long-term monthly ZSJ-0228 did not result in any measurable GC-associated side effects. With its outstanding efficacy and exceptional safety, it is anticipated that ZSJ-0228 may be a novel therapy for long-term clinical management of LN. As a PEG-based macromolecular prodrug nanomedicine of dexamethasone, ZSJ-0228 can self-assemble into micelles in water. Upon i.v. administration, ZSJ-0228 passively accumulated in nephritic kidneys. When tested in NZB/W F1 mice with lupus nephritis, monthly ZSJ-0228 treatment for 5 months significantly reduced nephritis incident with an improved overall survival rate. Different from the dose equivalent daily free dexamethasone treatment, the monthly ZSJ-0228 did not result in any measurable glucocorticoid-associated side effects.
