Although vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) have been extensively implemented in current clinical tumor therapy, the notable adverse events caused by long-term dosing severely limit the therapeutic efficacy. To improve this therapy, we report a strategy for VDA-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles to further destroy tumor vascular by photothermal effect. This strategy could effectively disrupt tumor vascular and cut off the nutrition supply after just one treatment. In the murine tumor model, this strategy results in notable tumor growth inhibition and gives rise to a 92.7% suppression of tumor growth. Besides, enhanced vascular damage could also prevent cancer cells from distant metastasis. Moreover, compared with clinical therapies, this strategy still exhibits preferable tumor suppression and metastasis inhibition ability. These results indicate that this strategy has great potential in tumor treatment and could effectively enhance tumor vascular damage and avoid the side effects caused by frequent administration.

e19006 Background: Carboxyamidotriazole orotate (CTO) is the orotic acid salt of 5-amino-1.(4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3,5-dichlorobenzyl)-1, 2, 3-triazole-4-carboxamide. CTO possesses increased solubility. The antiproliferative and antimetastatic effects of CTO are related to inhibition of receptor –opertated calcium channel- mediated calcium influx. CTO can inhibit calcium sensitive signal transduction in the VEGF and the PI3K pathways, inhibition of FGF-2-induced tyrosine kinase, VEGF-mediated activation of phospholipase Cγ, generation of IP3 and nitric oxide synthase activation, and induction of apoptosis in imatinib mesylate resistant CML cells by downregulating bcr-abl. Methods: Different combinations of CTO and temozolomide (TEM) were first tested in female athymic NCr-nu/nu mice to evaluate tolerance of the combination. The tolerated combinations were then tested to evaluate the antitumor activity against subcutaneously –implanted human LOX 1MVI melanoma xenografts. Results: Oral CTO at doses of 513 or 342 mg/kg/dose Q1Dx14 resulted in inhibition of tumor growth (p<0.001 and p=0.004). Oral TEM at doses of 90 and 60mg/kg/dose Q4Dx3 resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth (p<0.001 and p<0.001). Oral CTO at 513 or 342 mg/kg/dose in combination with TEM 90mg/kg/dose resulted in comparable tumor inhibition to TEM alone. However, oral CTO at 513mg/kg/dose in combination with TEM 60mg/kg/dose resulted in additive antitumor activity compared to each drug alone. Also, CTO at 342mg/kg/dose in combination with TEM 60mg/kg/dose had more than additive antitumor activity and was statistically different from the group treated with TEM 60mg/kg/dose alone (p=0.001). Conclusions: These results suggest that CTO enhances the sensitivity of TEM and may permit use of lower doses of TEM to obtain an optimum antitumor effect in combination therapy thus reducing toxicity of high TEM doses in this melanoma model.
