In Vitro and in Vivo Permeation of Ketorolac Tromethamine Formulated in Elastic Liposomes.

Pretargeting human prostate cancer PC3 xenografts with Bispecific Bombesin anti-diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) Fab Complexes (BBAFCx) and targeted with Tc-99m labeled DTPA-succinylated polylysine (DSPL) enabled molecular imaging of small prostate cancer lesions (1.5x1 mm lesions, 6.54±1.58 %ID/g). Pretargeting with Bombesin alone showed no uptake of the radiolabeled polymers in tumors (0.44±0.17). When radiolabeled polymers were replaced with DTPA-Doxorubicin-poly-l-glutamic acid (D-Dox-PGA) and PC3 cells pretargeted with Bispecific Bombesin-Anti-DTPA antibody Complex (BBACx), in vitro tumor toxicity was greater than free Dox toxicity by 2 fold. Pretargeting approach using polymer-drug-conjugates enhances molecular imaging and targeted cancer therapy.
