title: Targeted polysaccharide nanoparticle for adamplatin prodrug delivery.
abstract: A series of conjugated hyaluronic acid particles (HAP), composed of a hydrophobic anticancer drug core and hydrophilic cyclodextrin/hyaluronic acid shell, were prepared through self-assembling and characterized by (1)H NMR titration, electron microscopy, zeta potential, and dynamic light-scattering experiments. The nanometer-sized HAP thus prepared was biocompatible and biodegradable and was well-recognized by the hyaluronic acid receptors overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells, which enabled us to exploit HAP as an efficient targeted delivery system for anticancer drugs. Indeed, HAP exhibited anticancer activities comparable to the commercial anticancer drug cisplatin but with lower side effects both in vitro and in vivo.
