Abstract |
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV malignant brain tumor with a median survival time of approximately 12–16 months. Because of its highly aggressive and heterogeneous nature it is very difficult to remove by surgical resection. Herein we have reported dual stimuli-responsive and biodegradable in situ hydrogels of oligosulfamethazine-grafted gelatin and loaded with anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) for preventing the progress of Glioblastoma. The oligosulfamethazine (OSM) introduced to the gelatin backbone for the formation of definite and stable in situ hydrogel. The hydrogels transformed from a sol to a gel state upon changes in stimuli. pH and temperature and retained a distinct shape after subcutaneous administration in BALB/c mice. The viscosity of the sol state hydrogels was tuned by varying the feed molar ratio between gelatin and OSM. The porosity of the hydrogels was confirmed to be lower in higher degree OSM by SEM. Sustained release of PTX from hydrogels in physiological environments (pH 7.4) was further retarded up to 63% in 9th days in tumor environments (pH 6.5). While the empty hydrogels were non-toxic in cultured cells, the hydrogels loaded with PTX showed antitumor efficacy in orthotopic-GBM xenograft mice. Collectively, the gelatin-OSM formed porous hydrogels and released the cargo in a sustained manner in tumor environments efficiently suppressing the progress of GBM. Thus, gelatin-OSM hydrogels are a potential candidate for the direct delivery of therapeutics to the local areas in brain diseases.
