Abstract in Portuguese
INTRODUÇÃO: Estudos mostraram que, após a injeção de LDE na corrente sangüínea de mulheres portadoras de câncer de mama, ela encontra-se mais concentrada em tecido neoplásico que no tecido normal. Recentemente, estudos pré-clínicos comprovaram que a associação LDE-oleato de paclitaxel é estável, menos tóxica e com mais atividade terapêutica quando comparada ao uso de paclitaxel comercial em animais. O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a estabilidade dessa associação na circulação, a sua capacidade em se concentrar no tecido neoplásico e determinar os parâmetros farmacocinéticos em relação ao paclitaxel isolado. MÉTODOS: Para determinar os parâmetros farmacocinéticos foram administrados, por via intravenosa, [3H]-oleato de paclitaxel associado a [14C]- oleato de colesterol-LDE em três pacientes e [3H]-paclitaxel comercial em duas pacientes 24 horas antes do procedimento cirúrgico. Todas as pacientes eram portadoras de neoplasia maligna da mama. Amostras de sangue foram colhidas durante 24 horas. A radioatividade foi medida por cintilação líquida e os parâmetros farmacocinéticos foram calculados usando um modelo multicompartimental. Fragmentos de tecido neoplásico e de tecido normal mamário foram coletados durante a cirurgia e submetidos à contagem radioativa. RESULTADOS: As taxas fracionais de remoção da LDE e do oleato de paclitaxel foram semelhantes (0,0296 ± 0,0264 e 0,0182 ± 0,0186, respectivamente, p = 0,5742). A captação tanto da LDE quanto do oleato de paclitaxel mostrou concentração 2,5 a 3 vezes maior no tecido tumoral do que no tecido mamário normal. O tempo de meia vida do oleato de paclitaxel foi maior do que o da formulação comercial (18,97 ± 7,7 horas e 7,34 ± 0,40 horas) e, a depuração plasmática, menor (1,51 ± 0,18 (L/h) e 7,95 ± 4,32 (L/h)). CONCLUSÃO: A maior parte do fármaco ficou retido na microemulsão até sua remoção da circulação e captação pelas células. O oleato de paclitaxel associado à LDE mostrou-se estável na circulação sangüínea e apresentou tempo de meia vida maior e a depuração plasmática menor do que a formulação comercial, além de se concentrar mais no tecido neoplásico da mama. Os resultados permitem sugerir que essa associação pode se constituir em uma estratégia útil no tratamento de mulheres portadoras de câncer da mama.

Abstract in English
INTRODUCTION: Studies had shown that, after the injection of LDE in the circulation of women with breast cancer, it was more concentrate in neoplastic tissue that in the normal tissue. Recently, studies had proven that the LDE-paclitaxel oleate association is steady, less toxic and with more therapeutical activity when compared with the commercial paclitaxel in animals. The present study was designed to verify the stability of this association in the circulation, its capacity in concentrating in the neoplastic tissue and to determine the plasma kinetics of the association compared to that of paclitaxel isolated. METHODS: To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters, [3H]-paclitaxel oleate associated to LDE labeled with [14C]-cholesterol oleate was intravenously injected into three patients and [3H]-commercial paclitaxel into two patients 24 hours before the surgical procedure. All the patients had breast cancer. Blood samples were collected during 24 hours. Radioactivity was quantified in a scintillation solution and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by compartmental analysis. Specimens of tumoral and normal breast were excised during the surgery and submitted to a radioactive counting. RESULTS: Fractional clearance rate of LDE and of the paclitaxel oleate were similar (0,0296 ± 0,0264 and 0,0182 ± 0,0186, respectively, p = 0,5742). The uptake of both [14C]-LDE and [3H]-paclitaxel oleate by breast malignant tissue was two and three fold greater than that of the normal breast tissue. The paclitaxel oleate plasma half-life (h) was greater than the commercial paclitaxel (T1/2 = 18,97 ± 7,7 and 7,34 ± 0,40) and the total plasma clearence (L/h) of paclitaxel oleate was lesser than the commercial (CL = 1,51 ± 0,18 and 7,95 ± 4,32). CONCLUSION: Most of the drug was restrained in the microemulsion until its removal from the circulation and captation by the cells. The paclitaxel oleate associated to LDE is stable in the bloodstream and has greater plasma half-life and lesser clearence than those for commercial paclitaxel. In addition, the association could be concentrated more in malignant breast tissue. The results allow to suggest that this association can consist in a useful strategy in the treatment of women with breast cancer.
