Abstract
Reduction-sensitive, amphiphilic HA conjugates (HA-SS-DDTs) were synthesized using the facile thiol-exchange reaction, and evaluated their potential as the carrier for intracellular delivery of the hydrophobic anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The HA-SS-DDT conjugates formed self-assembled nanoparticles in aqueous conditions, and DOX was successfully encapsulated into the nanoparticles by an oil-in-water emulsion method. The release rate of DOX from the DOX-loaded HA-SS-DDT (HA-SS-DDT-DOX) nanoparticles was accelerated in the presence of 10 mM glutathione, mimicking the intracellular condition. The HA-SS-DDT-DOX nanoparticles were efficiently taken up by SCC7 cancer cells that over-express the HA receptor (CD44). These results suggest that the HA-SS-DDT nanoparticles have the promising potential as the carrier of DOX for cancer therapy.
