摘要

Fenofibrate, a well-known normolipidemic drug, has been shown to exert strong anticancer effects against tumors of neuroectodermal origin including glioblastoma. Although some pharmacokinetic studies were performed in the past, data are still needed about the detailed subcellular and tissue distribution of fenofibrate (FF) and its active metabolite, fenofibric acid (FA), especially in respect to the treatment of intracranial tumors. We used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to elucidate the intracellular, tissue and body fluid distribution of FF and FA after oral administration of the drug to mice bearing intracranial glioblastoma. Following the treatment, FF was quickly cleaved to FA by blood esterases and FA was detected in the blood, urine, liver, kidney, spleen and lungs. We have also detected small amounts of FA in the brains of two out of six mice, but not in the brain tumor tissue. The lack of FF and FA in the intracranial tumors prompted us to develop a new method for intracranial delivery of FF. We have prepared and tested in vitro biodegradable poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) polymer wafers containing FF, which could ultimately be inserted into the brain cavity following resection of the brain tumor. HPLC-based analysis demonstrated a slow and constant diffusion of FF from the wafer, and the released FF abolished clonogenic growth of glioblastoma cells. On the intracellular level, FF and FA were both present in the cytosolic fraction. Surprisingly, we also detected FF, but not FA in the cell membrane fraction. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy applied to spin-labeled phospholipid model-membranes revealed broadening of lipid phase transitions and decrease of membrane polarity induced by fenofibrate. Our results indicate that the membrane-bound FF could contribute to its exceptional anticancer potential in comparison to other lipid-lowering drugs, and advocate for intracranial delivery of FF in the combined pharmacotherapy against glioblastoma.
