Abstract: Tetrahydropyranyladriamycin (THP or pirarubicin) destroys tumors via several mechanisms; one of which involves the production of ROS that requires molecular oxygen for its generation. SMA forms stable self-assembled associated micelles with pirarubicin (SMA-pirarubicin), and confers macromolecular characteristics to pirarubicin. This micellar macromolecular drug is selectively delivered to solid tumors via the EPR effect and its preferential tumor accumulation suppresses the systemic toxicity whilst its prolonged high concentration at the site of tumor enhances its efficacy much higher compared to free pirarubicin. Administration of SMA-pirarubicin micelle under HBO can further enhance the delivery of molecular oxygen that facilitates tumor selective generation of ROS, thus augmenting its antitumor potency. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of SMA-pirarubicin micelles either as single drug or in combination with HBO in a mouse metastatic colorectal cancer model. At or below the maximum tolerated dose, SMA-pirarubicin remarkably reduced metastatic tumor nodules and it was far more effective than free pirarubicin. The data also suggests a potential benefit of combined therapy of HBO with micellar anthracyclins.
