PURPOSE: We evaluated the uptake of angiopep-2 paclitaxel conjugate, ANG1005, into brain and brain metastases of breast cancer in rodents. Most anticancer drugs show poor delivery to brain tumors due to limited transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome this, a 19-amino acid peptide (angiopep-2) was developed that binds to low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) receptors at the BBB and has the potential to deliver drugs to brain by receptor-mediated transport. METHODS: The transfer coefficient (K(in)) for brain influx was measured by in situ rat brain perfusion. Drug distribution was determined at 30 min after i.v. injection in mice bearing intracerebral MDA-MB-231BR metastases of breast cancer. RESULTS: The BBB K(in) for (125)I-ANG1005 uptake (7.3 +/- 0.2 x 10(-3) mL/s/g) exceeded that for (3)H-paclitaxel (8.5 +/- 0.5 x 10(-5)) by 86-fold. Over 70% of (125)I-ANG1005 tracer stayed in brain after capillary depletion or vascular washout. Brain (125)I-ANG1005 uptake was reduced by unlabeled angiopep-2 vector and by LRP ligands, consistent with receptor transport. In vivo uptake of (125)I-ANG1005 into vascularly corrected brain and brain metastases exceeded that of (14)C-paclitaxel by 4-54-fold. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that ANG1005 shows significantly improved delivery to brain and brain metastases of breast cancer compared to free paclitaxel.
