title: [Targeting bone marrow with the help of polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles].
abstract: Using a mouse model, we examine drug targeting towards bone marrow. One cytotoxic (doxorubicin) and one stimulating (rhG-CSF), bound to polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles, were studied. Histological studies, using a fluorescence microscope, showed rapid capture of nanoparticles by bone marrow macrophages and granulocytes as soon as 15 minutes after injection into the blood stream. Doxorubicin nanoparticles, administered at a dose of 11 mg/kg were more toxic than free doxorubicin on all blood and marrow cell lines. Moreover, the choice of the nature of the polymer had an influence on toxicity: doxorubicin polyisohexylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles were more toxic than polyisobutylcyanoacrylate particles. Quantification of doxorubicin in bone marrow has confirmed these results. The bone marrow concentrations observed demonstrated that there was a high level of targeting towards the bone marrow that would be very interesting to use for a stimulating drug. Nevertheless, rhG-CSF nanoparticles did not show better efficacy than free rhG-CSF.
