Preclinical study of therapeutic properties of an innovative drug Doxorubicin-NPh (doxorubicin in the form of ultrafine suspension of phospholipid liposomes) in comparison with free doxorubicin (Doxorubicin-Teva) and protected doxorubicin (Caelyx) was performed on transplanted murine tumor models. All these drugs were efficient in Ca755 breast carcinoma model (tumor growth inhibition ≈100%, increase in lifespan 90.6-114.3%). In P388 lymphocytic leukemia and LLC lung carcinoma, advantages of the protected doxorubicin by the benefit/risk ratio (width of therapeutic interval) were demonstrated: Caelyx>Doxorubicin-NPh>Doxorubicin-Teva. Doxorubicin-NPh and Caelyx exhibited similar therapeutic activity in the LLC model, especially when administered 3 times with 3-day intervals; for Doxorubicin-Teva, the optimal interval between the injections was 7 days.
