- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To obtain the microcrystal agents of sorafenib and examine the in vivo anti-tumor efficiency of sorafenib-microcrystal on hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS: The solubilizing solution or microcrystal of sorafenib was obtained. A highly aggressive HCC cell line, MHCC97-H, was used to form the subcutaneous or intra-hepatic tumor model in nude mice. Sorafenib-solution or microcrystal was injected into tumors. The clearance curve or anti-tumor efficiency of solubilizing solution or microcrystal was identified. Endogenous of EMT related indicators was identified by qPCR. RESULTS: Sorafenib slowly released in tumor tissues by sorafenib-microcrystal but not sorafenib-solution. Treatment of sorafenib-microcrystal inhibited the in vivo growth of MHCC97-H cells. CONCLUSION: The microcrystal agents of sorafenib is prepared. This work also establishes the in vivo anti-tumor efficiency of sorafenib-microcrystal on HCC cells.
