Abstract
A preparation method of a tumor microparticle encapsulating a metabolic inhibitor includes following steps. A tumor cell is cultivated, and a statin drug is added to a culture medium after the tumor cell grows stably. Then, the tumor cell is irradiated with an ultraviolet, and then the tumor cell is incubated in a cell incubator for 22˜26 hours. After the incubation, cell supernatant is collected and the tumor microparticle encapsulating the metabolic inhibitor is obtained through a gradient centrifugation. The preparation method uses tumor cell-derived microparticles as drug delivery platforms, with a simple preparation process that preserves functions such as biosafety, biocompatibility, targeting, and intercellular communication. The preparation method discovers new uses of a statin drug, which can inhibit tumor growths with the statin drug, regulate tumors metabolism and improve a tumor microenvironment, and have a potential to enhance a chemotherapy efficacy and delay a chemotherapy resistance.
