Doxorubicin is encapsulated in long-circulating STEALTH® liposomes, which are microscopic vesicles made of a phospholipid bilayer. The liposomes are pegylated with surface-bound methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG) to increase circulation time and protect them from detection by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Their 100 nm size and long circulation may aid their ability to penetrate the altered vasculature of tumors.

General information

Class/mechanism: Anthracycline; binds and intercalates into DNA, inhibiting nucleotide replication and DNA/RNA polymerase activity. Causes DNA cleavage through interaction with topoisomerase II.

Doxorubicin is encapsulated in long-circulating STEALTH® liposomes, which are microscopic vesicles made of a phospholipid bilayer. The liposomes are pegylated with surface-bound methoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG) to increase circulation time and protect them from detection by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Their 100 nm size and long circulation may aid their ability to penetrate the altered vasculature of tumors. Exact mechanism of release of the active drug contained within the liposome is not understood.[1][2][3]
