Abstract Recently, biomimetic hybrid drug delivery systems, especially erythrocyte membrane-based drug delivery systems, have been utilized to achieve high bioavailability, and biocompatibility, in the meantime, to reduce immunogenicity and effectively evade phagocytosis of the host immune system. Here, we developed a novel drug delivery system of red blood cell membrane-derived vesicles (RDVs) cloaked poly (acrylic acid)-cystamine hydrochloride-D-α-tocopherol succinate (PAAssVES) nanoparticles. The PAAssVES nanoparticles were prepared via emulsification and solvent volatilization method, followed by loading of the model anti-cancer drug, sorafenib (SFN). Then RDVs and SFN-PAAssVES nanoparticles were uniformly mixed and co-extruded through polycarbonate membrane. The prepared RDV-coated nanoparticles (RDV-NPs) had good stability, with a zeta potential of − 10.7 mVand particle size of 113.5 nm. MTT assay was used to analyze the effects of RDV-NPs on cell viability in two kinds of gastric cancer cell lines BGC-823 and MKN-45. The results showed that RDV-NPs significantly decreased cell viability. In vitro drug release investigation showed that RDV-NPs had good sustained release properties and the cumulative release was 71.5% in 72 h. In pharmacokinetic studies, SD male rats’ intravenous injection with RDV-NP solution showed a more smooth plasma concentration-time profile. Compared with free SFN treatment and SFN-PAAssVES group, RDV-NPs enhanced the AUC by about 4.1-fold and 2.0-fold. The MRT and t1/2 of RDV-NPs were increased to 23.670 ± 2.347 h and 24.450 ± 2.652 h. Our study demonstrated the promise of using RDV-NPs as a long circulating anti-cancer drug delivery system. Keywords RBCm-derived vesicles . Biomimetic hybrid drug delivery system .

Introduction At present, cancer-related mortality is rapidly growing worldwide. It is well known that chemotherapy is the most widely used treatment strategy for cancer [1]. While traditional antitumor drugs provide effective treatment, they often cause serious adverse reactions [2]. The development of effective drug delivery systems is the key to the fight against the cancer. In general, the physicochemical properties of drug carriers can significantly impact the processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion [3, 4]. Therefore, the success of drug delivery systems depends on the selection of appropriate carries. In recent years, in order to improve the

pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-tumor drugs, various drug carriers have been developed. Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great attention for their promising application in
