O AR ? um f?rmaco altamente lipof?lico (log P 4,6) que apresenta baixa solubilidade aquosa, limitando sua utiliza??o parenteral. Dessa forma, sua incorpora??o em nanocarreadores lip?dicos tem sido proposta como uma alternativa promissora para a administra??o desse f?rmaco. O maior direcionamento dos nanossistemas para as c?lulas tumorais pode ser obtido por meio de modifica??es na superf?cie deste, como o revestimento com ?cido hialur?nico (AH), que se liga a receptor CD44 sobre-expresso em alguns tumores. Assim sendo, este trabalho teve por objetivo principal desenvolver, caracterizar e avaliar a atividade antineopl?sica in vitro de nanoemuls?es contendo AR revestidas e n?o revestidas com AH para tratamento de c?ncer de mama. Primeiramente, foi desenvolvido um m?todo espectrofotom?trico, com detec??o do AR em 324 nm, que foi validado em rela??o ? seletividade em rela??o aos componentes de matriz e aos produtos de degrada??o for?ada, linearidade, precis?o, exatid?o e robustez, conforme a legisla??o pertinente. Em seguida, foram desenvolvidas e caracterizadas nanoemuls?es (NE) preparadas por emulsifica??o espont?nea e revestidas eletrostaticamente com AH em diferentes concentra??es. Ap?s o revestimento com 0,5 mg/mL de AH, a NE escolhida apresentou tamanho de 158 ? 5 nm, distribui??o monodispersa e potencial zeta de -19,7 ? 1,20 mV e um teor de encapsula??o de 99,2 ? 0,5%, estando compat?vel com a administra??o parenteral. Al?m disso, as formula??es revestidas permaneceram est?veis ao longo de 60 dias armazenadas a 4?C. O perfil de libera??o do AR a partir dos nanossistemas foi avaliado e observou-se que segue uma cin?tica de primeira ordem, de forma que a taxa de libera??o depende da concentra??o do f?rmaco ainda presente na matriz. Foram, por fim, avaliados os efeitos citot?xicos em linhagens de c?lulas de c?ncer de mama (MCF-7 e MDA-MB-231) e fibroblastos normais (L929) e observou-se que a formula??o revestida promove aumento de atividade antic?ncer do AR, especialmente nas c?lulas que expressam mais os receptores CD44 (MDA-MB-231) e reduzida toxicidade em rela??o ?s c?lulas normais. Desta forma, a encapsula??o do AR em NE revestida por AH pode ser uma abordagem interessante para aumentar a efic?cia e a biodisponibilidade do AR no tratamento do c?ncer de mama e outros tipos de c?ncer que sobre-expressam esse receptor. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

RA is a lipophilic acid (log P 4.6) with low aqueous solubility, which limits its pharmaceutical use. In order to allow its parenteral administration, an interesting alternative could be its incorporation in lipid nanocarrier systems, such as nanoemulsions (NE). On the other hand, it is possible to increase the target to CD44 receptor expressing tumor cells, coating the NE surface with hyaluronic acid (HA). Therefore, the main goal of this study was to develop, characterize and evaluate the in vitro antitumor activity of RA-loaded NE coated with HA for the treatment of breast cancer. First, a spectrophotometric method was developed, with RA detection at 324 nm, which was validated with regard to selectivity to matrix components and forced degradation products, linearity, precision, accuracy and robustness, in accordance with the proper legislation. Then, the NE, prepared by the spontaneous emulsification and electrostatically coated with HA in different concentrations, were developed and characterized. After coating with 0.5 mg/mL, the chosen HA-coated NE presented size of 158 ? 5 nm, monodisperse distribution, zeta potential of -19.7 ? 1.20 mV and encapsulating efficiency of 99.2 ? 0.5%, which is compatible with parenteral administration. Moreover, the coated formulations remained stable over 60 days stored at 4 ?C. The RA release profile from the nanosystems was evaluated and it follows the first order kinetics, so that the release rate depends on the drug concentration still present in the matrix. Finally, the cytotoxic effects were assessed in breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and in normal fibroblasts (L929), and found that the coated formulation promotes increased anticancer activity of RA, especially in cells expressing plus CD44 receptors (MDA-MB-231) and reduced toxicity compared to normal cells. Thus, the encapsulation of RA in HA-coated NE can be an interesting approach to increase the RA efficacy and bioavailability in the treatment of breast cancer and other cancers overexpressing that receptor.
