Release profile

Biocompatibility/safety

References

SPI-77 (stealth liposomal cisplatin)

Extremely slow release (< 10% in vitro)

Minimal early-release toxicity; however, low bioavailability and limited efficacy in vivo

46

NC-6004 (Nanoplatin™) – PEG-P(Glu) polymeric micelle

Sustained release: ~ 20% at 24 h; ~ 48% at 96 h

Lower nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity vs free cisplatin in animal models;

47,48

Gold-based layered NPs

Initial burst (~ 64% in 5 h) from two-layer NP; complete release in three-layer NP over 14 days

Biocompatible coatings (PC, HDL) used; specific toxicity data not detailed

49

Lipoplatin (liposomal cisplatin)

Release is triggered mainly after tumor cell uptake/fusion

Reduced systemic toxicity; advanced to human Phase I–III trials

50

Magnetoliposome (cisplatin + magnetic NPs)

Release via magnetic hyperthermia

Good in vitro/in vivo safety; improved survival in animal tumor models
