The prevention and treatment of lung metastasis of breast cancer remain a major challenge. The vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) could provide a potential therapeutic target in lung metastasis. Herein, succinobucol (SCB), a water-insoluble potent and selective VCAM-1 inhibitor, was assembled with triblock polymer poloxamer P188 into nanoparticles due to the intermolecular hydrophobic interactions. The experimental results showed that the SCB loaded nanoparticles (SN) could greatly improve the oral delivery and suppress the lung metastasis of breast cancer. The cell migration and invasion abilities of metastatic 4T1 breast cancer cells were obviously inhibited by SN. Moreover, the VCAM-1 expression on 4T1 cells was significantly reduced by SN, and the cell-cell binding ratio of RAW 264.7 cells to 4T1 cells greatly decreased from 47.4% to 3.2%. Furthermore, the oral bioavailability of SCB was greatly improved about 13-fold by SN, and the biodistribution in major organs was evidently enhanced. In particular, in the metastatic breast cancer model, the lung metastasis was notably reduced by SN treatment, and the VCAM-1 expression in lung tissues was significantly inhibited. Thereby, SN could evoke a new effective therapeutic efficacy of SCB on lung metastasis of breast cancer by inhibition of VCAM-1 expression.
