When SL-DOX were incubated in vitro at different temperatures with 50% bovine serum, approximately 20% of the encapsulated DOX was released at 42 degrees C within 1 min, compared with less than 1% DOX released at 37 degrees C. In vivo, mice were implanted s.c. with C-26 colon carcinoma in both flanks to produce matched tumors 6-10 mm in diameter. Topical hyperthermia treatment consisting of 42 degrees C minimum tumor temperature for 30 min was applied with a microwave device to the tumor on one side only at 1 h after i.v. injection of SL-DOX or free DOX. Tumor DOX concentration in the group which was given injections of SL-DOX and sacrificed 2 h after drug injection was 1.5-fold higher compared with the nonheated tumor in mice given injections of SL-DOX. At 24 h afte...
