Preparation of caffeic acid phenethyl ester nanosuspension and its inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells in vitro

Objective To optimize formulation of caffeic acid phenethyl ester nanosuspensions (CAPE-NPs) and evaluate its antitumor activity against breast cancer cell in vitro.Methods Poloxam 188 and propolis were used as carriers, and the formulation was prepares by antisolvent precipitation method. Preparation process parameters were optimized using Box-Behnken design- response surface method. The stability, drug loading capacity, and encapsulation efficiency of CAPE-NPs were investigated, and the lyophilization protective agent was screened. At the same time, the growth inhibitory effect and cellular uptake of 4T1 breast cancer cells of CAPENPs was evaluated by MTT assay in vitro.Results The optimal formulation included 0.88 mg/mL propolis, 1.86 mg/mL caffeic acid phenethyl ester, and 1 mg/mL P188. The mean particle size was about 150 nm, and the encapsulation rate was above 98%. CAPE-NPs could stably exist in various physiological media. 0.5% BSA could play a good protective role in the freeze drying process of CAPENPs. The inhibitory effect of CAPE-NPs against 4T1 breast cancer cells was 2.95 times higher than that of caffeic acid phenethyl ester. After being taken up by cells, it is mainly distributed in the cytoplasm, and the uptake of CAPE-NPs gradually increases with the increase of administration time.Conclusion CAPE-NPs has high encapsulation efficiency and drug loading, and can significantly improves the inhibitory effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester against 4T1 cells.
