| Resumo | |
L-Asparaginase (ASNase) is an amidohydrolase used as a chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The nanoencapsulation of this enzyme is strategic to avoid its immediate immunogenic effects that lead to a decrease in the enzyme half-life. In this work, ASNase-containing nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by double emulsification, through an ultrasonic sonicator or an Ultra-Turrax, using two copolymers of 50:50 (w/w) poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with different ranges of molecular weight (24-38 kDa and 30-60 kDa) and varying the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a stabilizer (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) as well as the emulsification time (30 and 60 s). Using 24-38 kDa PLGA and 1.0% PVA, we obtained by cavitation NPs with hydrodynamic diameter of 384 nm, polydispersity index of 0.143 and Zeta potential of -16.4 mV, whose ASNase encapsulation efficiency was as high as 87 +/- 2%. The encapsulated enzyme showed an activity 22% higher than that of the free enzyme, and no conformational changes were detected by circular dichroism. The enzyme release from NPs entrapped in dialysis bags (500 kDa molecular weight cut-off) allowed selecting a controlled system able to release about 60% of the enzyme within 14 days, for which the Korsmeyer-Peppas model provided the best correlation (R-2 = 0.966).
