    The enhanced permeability and retention of liposomes in solid tumors makes liposomal formulations attractive for the targeting of various antitumor agents. This study explores the binding, orientation, and dynamic properties of a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, 7-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (DB-67), and its 20(S)-4-aminobutyrate ester prodrug (DB-67-AB) in DMPC liposomes by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental studies. MD simulations of an all-atom and fully hydrated liquid-crystalline bilayer (2 x 36 DMPC lipids) containing single molecules of DB-67 and DB-67-AB were conducted for up to 50 ns. Membrane/water partition coefficients for DB-67 and DB-67-AB vs pH were determined by ultracentrifugation. Fluorescence spectra and/or steady-state anisotropies were measured in various solvents and in DMPC liposomes. Kinetics for the reversible DB-67 lactone ring-opening in the presence and absence of DMPC liposomes were determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. During the entire simulation time both DB-67 and DB-67-AB were located on the bilayer membrane near the polar ester groups of DMPC. The average depth of penetration for DB-67 and DB-67-AB was similar (12.4-13.2 A) with the prodrug's protonated amino group strongly solvated by surface water and lipid phosphate groups. Binding and fluorescence experiments revealed only a modest reduction in the binding affinity upon attachment of the ionized 4-aminobutyrate group onto DB-67. The binding microenvironment polarity resembles that of a polar solvent such as EtOH and DMSO. Kinetics experiments confirmed that DB-67 lactone hydrolysis is inhibited in the presence of DMPC liposomes, consistent with the reduced exposure of its lactone ring to water, as observed in the simulations. Both bound DB-67 and bound DB-67-AB have nonrandom orientations and reduced mobility in the membrane, especially for diffusion normal to the bilayer surface, and rotational relaxation, both of which are > or =2 orders of magnitude slower than in bulk water. MD simulations correctly predicted the high binding affinities for DB-67-AB to DMPC bilayers, protection of bound DB-67 toward lactone hydrolysis, and the lack of a substantial reduction in binding for the 20(S)-4-aminobutyrate prodrug of DB-67.
