China Introduction: Increasing demands in precise control over delivery and functionalization of therapeutic agents for tumor-specific chemotherapy have led to a rapid development in nanocarriers. Herein, we report a nanocapsule (NC) system for tumor-oriented drug delivery and effective tumor therapy.Materials and methods: Functionalized hyaluronan is utilized to build up the NC shells, in which bioreduction cleavable sites, targeting ligand folic acid (FA), and zwitterionic tentacles are integrated.Results: The hollow NCs obtained (~50 nm in diameter) showed well-defined spherical shell structures with a shell thickness of ~8 nm. These specially designed NCs (doxorubicin [DOX]/FA-Z-NCs) with high drug encapsulation content exhibited good biocompatibility in vitro and fast intracellular drug release behavior mediated by intracellular glutathione.Conclusion: Cellular uptake tests demonstrated rapid uptake of these functionalized NCs and effective escape from endosomes. Antitumor efficacy of the DOX/FA-Z-NCs was confirmed by the significant tumor growth inhibition effect as well as greatly reduced side effects, in contrast with those of the free drug DOX hydrochloride.
