- Abstract
According to the importance of time in treatment of thrombosis disorders, faster than current treatments are required. For the first time, this research discloses a novel strategy for rapid dissolution of blood clots by encapsulation of a fibrinolytic (Reteplase) into a Thrombin sensitive shell formed by polymerization of acrylamide monomers and bisacryloylated peptide as crosslinker. Degradability of the peptide units in exposure to Thrombin, creates the Thrombin-sensitive Reteplase nanocapsules (TSRNPs) as a triggered release system. Accelerated thrombolysis was achieved by combining three approaches including: deep penetration of TSRNPs into the blood clots, changing the clot dissolution mechanism by altering the distribution pattern of TSRNPs to 3D intra-clot distribution (based on the distributed intra-clot thrombolysis (DIT) model) instead of peripheral and unidirectional distribution of unencapsulated fibrinolytics and, enzyme-stimulated release of the fibrinolytic. Ex-vivo study was carried out by an occluded tube model that mimics in-vivo brain stroke as an emergency situation where faster treatment in short time is a golden key. In in vivo, efficacy of the developed formulation was confirmed by PET scan and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). As the most important achievements, 40.0 ± 0.7 (n = 3) % and 37.0 ± 0.4 (n = 3) % reduction in the thrombolysis time (faster reperfusion) were observed by ex-vivo and in-vivo experiments, respectively. Higher blood flow and larger digestion mass of clot at similar times in comparison to non-encapsulated Reteplase were observed that means more effective thrombolysis by the developed strategy., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Seyed Nasser Ostad reports financial support was provided by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
