A liver-targeted drug delivery carrier, composed of chitosan/poly(ethylene glycol) glycyrrhetinic acid (CTS/PEG-GA) nanoparticles, was prepared by an ionic gelation process, in which glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) acted as the targeting ligand The formation and characterization of these nanoparticles were confirmed by FT-IR, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential measurements The biodistribution of the nanoparticles was assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and the cellular uptake was evaluated using human hepatic carcinoma cells (QGY-7703 cells) The anti-neoplastic effect of the doxorubicin HCl-loaded nanoparticles (DOX-loaded nanoparticles) was also investigated in vitro and in vivo The results showed that the CTS/PEG-GA nanoparticles were remarkably targeted to the liver, and keep at a high level during the experiment. The accumulation in the liver was 51.3% at 3 h after injection, this was nearly 2.6 times that obtained with the CTS/PEG nanoparticles. The DOX-loaded nanoparticles were greatly cytotoxic to QGY-7703 cells, and the IC(50) (50% inhibitory concentration) for the free doxorubicin HCl (DOX HCl) and the DOX-loaded CTS/PEG GA nanoparticles were 47 and 79 ng/mL, respectively Moreover, the DOX-loaded CTS/PEG GA nanoparticles could effectively inhibit tumor growth in H22 cell-bearing mice (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
