Maleimide-Functionalized Liposomes: Prolonged Retention and Enhanced Efficacy of Doxorubicin in Breast Cancer with Low Systemic Toxicity
Cell surface thiols can be targeted by thiol-reactive groups of various materials such as peptides, nanoparticles, and polymers. Here, we used the maleimide group, which can rapidly and covalently conjugate with thiol groups, to prepare surface-modified liposomes (M-Lip) that prolong retention of do...

description | Cell surface thiols can be targeted by thiol-reactive groups of various materials such as peptides, nanoparticles, and polymers. Here, we used the maleimide group, which can rapidly and covalently conjugate with thiol groups, to prepare surface-modified liposomes (M-Lip) that prolong retention of doxorubicin (Dox) at tumor sites, enhancing its efficacy. Surface modification with the maleimide moiety had no effect on the drug loading efficiency or drug release properties. Compared to unmodified Lip/Dox, M-Lip/Dox was retained longer at the tumor site, it was taken up by 4T1 cells to a significantly greater extent, and exhibited stronger inhibitory effect against 4T1 cells. The in vivo imaging results showed that the retention time of M-Lip at the tumor was significantly longer than that of Lip. In addition, M-Lip/Dox also showed significantly higher anticancer efficacy and lower cardiotoxicity than Lip/Dox in mice bearing 4T1 tumor xenografts. Thus, the modification strategy with maleimide may be useful for achieving higher efficient liposome for tumor therapy. |
