摘要：Human interferon-β (HuIFN-β) entrapped in liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and sulfatide was examined for its antitumor activity against brain tumor cells in vitro and its pharmacokinetics in vivo . HuIFN-β did not lose its biological activity during the preparation of the liposomes. The liposomes entrapped 7-14% of the HuIFN-β used, suggesting that the majority of HuIFN-β was embedded in the liposomal membranes. Cytotoxicity of the liposome-entrapped HuIFN-β against human tumor cells was comparable with that of free HuIFN-β. Intravenous injection of the liposome-entrapped HuIFN-β resulted in higher interferon levels in the blood, liver, spleen, brain, and transplant of human brain tumor, compared with free HuIFN-β. These data show that the liposome-entrapped HuIFN-β should be useful in the treatment of human brain tumors.
