Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the CD44-mediated cellular targeting of RA-But, a hyaluronic acid esterified with butyric acid (But) residues, to hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines in vitro and to hepatic tumor metastases in vivo.Experimental Design: In vitro, the CD44-dependent cytotoxicity in two human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepB3 and HepG2) with high and low CD44 expression was investigated; in vivo, the effect on liver metastases originating from intrasplenic implants of Lewis lung carcinoma (LL3) or B16-F10 melanoma in mice was compared with the pharmacokinetics of organ and tissue distribution using different routes of administration.Results: HepB3 and HepG2 cell lines showed different expression of CD44 (78 and 18%, respectively), which resulted in a CD44-dependent HA-But inhibitory effect as demonstrated also by the uptake analysis performed using radiolabeled HA-But (Tc-99m-RA-But). Pharmacokinetic studies showed different rates of Tc-99m-HA-But distribution according to the route of administration (i.v., i.p., or s.c.): very fast (a few minutes) after i.v. treatment, with substantial accumulation in the liver and spleen; relatively slow after i.p. or s.c. treatment, with marked persistence of the drug at the site of injection. The effect of s.c. and i.p. treatment with HA-But on liver metastases originating from intrasplenic implants of LL3 carcinoma or B16-F10 melanoma (both CD44-positive: 68 and 87%, respectively), resulted in 87 and 100% metastases-free animals, respectively (regardless of the route of administration), and a significant prolongation of the life expectancy compared with control groups.Conclusions: HA-But tends to concentrate in the liver and spleen and appears to be a promising new drug for the treatment of intrahepatic tumor lesions.
