Background:Aerosol delivery of chemotherapeutic nanocarriers represents a promising alternative for lung cancer therapy. This study optimized gemcitabine (Gem)-loaded gelatin nanocarriers (GNCs) cross-linked with genipin (Gem-GNCs) to evaluate their potential for nebulized lung cancer treatment.Methods:Gem-GNCs were prepared by two-step desolvation and optimized through Taguchi design and characterized for physicochemical properties. Particle size and morphology were confirmed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.In vitrorelease of Gem from Gem-GNCs performed in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline and simulated lung fluid was evaluated to determine release mechanisms. Particle size stability was assessed under varying pH. Differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction were used to determine the presence and stability of Gem-GNC components and amorphization of Gem, respectively. Gem-GNC efficacy within A549 and H460 cells was evaluated using MTT assays. Mucus rheology upon treatment with Gem-GNCs, lactose, and normal saline control was measured. Andersen cascade impaction identified the aerodynamic particle size distribution of the nebulized formulation.Results:Gem-GNCs had particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and loading efficiency of 178 ± 7.1 nm, −18.9 mV, 92.5%, and 9.1%, respectively. The Gem and formulation excipients where molecularly dispersed and configured amorphously. Gem-GNCs were stable at pH 5.4–7.4 for 72 hours. Gem release from Gem-GNCs was governed by non-Fickian controlled release due to diffusion/erosion from a matrix-based nanocarrier. Gem-GNCs elicited a 40% reduction of the complex viscosityη*(1 Hz) of human bronchial epithelial cell mucus containing 3 wt% solids to mimic mild airway disease. The nebulized Gem-GNCs had a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 2.0 ± 0.16 μm, geometric standard deviation (GSD) of 2.7 ± 0.16, and fine particle fraction (FPF) of 75.2% ± 2.4%. The Gem-GNC formulation did not outperform the Gem solution in A549 cells. However, in H460, Gem-GNCs outperformed the Gem IC50 reduction by ∼5-fold at 48 and 10-fold 72 hours.Conclusion:Stable, effective, and sustained-release Gem-GNCs were developed. The nebulized Gem-GNCs had satisfactory MMAD, GSD, and FPF and the formulation reduced the dynamic complex viscosity of mucus consistent with increased mobility of nanoparticles.
