description | [Image: see text] The major bottleneck in the current chemotherapy treatment of cancer is the low bioavailability and high cytotoxicity. Targeted delivery of drug to the cancer cells can reduce the cytotoxicity and increase the bioavailability. In this context, microbubbles are currently being explored as drug-delivery vehicles to effectively deliver drug to the tumors or cancerous cells. Microbubbles when used along with ultrasound can enhance drug uptake and inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Several potential anticancer molecules exhibit poor water solubility, which limits their use in therapeutic applications. Such poorly water soluble molecules can be coadministered with microbubbles or encapsulated within or loaded on the microbubbles surface, to enhance the effectiveness of these molecules against cancer cells. Curcumin is one of such potential anticancer molecules obtained from the rhizome of herbal spice, turmeric. In this work, curcumin-loaded protein microbubbles were synthesized and examined for effective in vitro delivery of curcumin to HeLa cells. Microbubbles in the size range of 1–10 μm were produced using perfluorobutane as core gas and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as shell material and were loaded with curcumin. The amount of curcumin loaded on the microbubble surface was estimated using UV–vis spectroscopy, and the average curcumin loading was found to be ∼54 μM/10(8) microbubbles. Kinetics of in vitro curcumin release from microbubble surface was also estimated, where a 4-fold increase in the rate of curcumin release was obtained in the presence of ultrasound. Sonication and incubation of HeLa cells with curcumin-loaded BSA microbubbles enhanced the uptake of curcumin by ∼250 times. Further, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay confirmed ∼71% decrease in cell viability when HeLa cells were sonicated with curcumin-loaded microbubbles and incubated for 48 h. |
