The therapeutic efficiency of anticancer NA strongly depends on their intracellular accumulation and conversion into 5’-triphosphates. Since active NATP cannot be directly administrated due to instability, we present here a strategy of nanoencapsulation of these active drugs for efficient delivery to tumors. Stable lyophilized formulations of 5’-triphosphates of cytarabine (araCTP), gemcitabine (dFdCTP) and floxuridine (FdUTP) encapsulated in biodegradable PEG- or F127-cl-PEI nanogel networks (NGC and NGM, respectively) were prepared by a self-assembly procedure. Cellular penetration, in vitro cytotoxicity and drug-induced cell cycle perturbations of these nanoformulations were analyzed in breast and colorectal cancer cell lines. Cellular accumulation and NATP release from nanogel was studied by confocal microscopy and direct HPLC analysis of cellular lysates. Antiproliferative effect of dFdCTP-nanoformulations was evaluated in human breast carcinoma MCF7 xenograft animal model. Nanoencapsulated araCTP, dFdCTP and FdUTP demonstrated similar to NA cytotoxicity and cell cycle perturbations. Nanogels without drugs showed very low cytotoxicity, although NGM was more toxic than NGC. Treatment by NATP nanoformulations induced fast increase of free intracellular drug concentration. In human breast carcinoma MCF7 xenograft animal model, intravenous dFdCTP-nanogel was equally effective in inhibiting tumor growth at four times lower administered drug dose compared to free gemcitabine. Active triphosphates of NA encapsulated in nanogels exhibit similar cytotoxicity and cell cycle perturbations in vitro, faster cell accumulation and equal tumor growth inhibitory activity in vivo at much lower dose compared to parental drugs, illustrating their therapeutic potential for cancer chemotherapy.
