Folic acid-decorated vitamin E Poly(ethylene glycol) monoplatinum ester with disulfide bond as theranostic nanoparticle for drug resistant tumor diagnosis and treatment

Vitamin E Poly(ethylene glycol) monoplatinum ester (TPGS) nanoparticles have attracted much attention in recent years for overcome multidrug resistance. Herein, a well-defined folic acid (FA)-conjugated and disulfide bond-linked polymer (FA-SS-TPGS) was synthesized. These polymer nanoparticles were...

description Vitamin E Poly(ethylene glycol) monoplatinum ester (TPGS) nanoparticles have attracted much attention in recent years for overcome multidrug resistance. Herein, a well-defined folic acid (FA)-conjugated and disulfide bond-linked polymer (FA-SS-TPGS) was synthesized. These polymer nanoparticles were utilized as theranostic agents for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chemotherapy. By loading doxorubicin (DOX) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles into TPGS nanoparticles, FA-SS-TPGS@DOX/SPIO nanoparticles are obtained. In vitro drug release studies revealed that under a reducing environment in the presence of glutathione (GSH), approximately 100% of the doxorubicin (DOX) was released from the disulfide bond-linked theranostic nanoparticles within 24 h. DOX and SPIO were efficiently delivered into HepG2-ADM cells due to the folate receptor-mediated endocytosis process of the nanoparticles. Additionally, the presence of glutathione (GSH) triggered the cleaving of the disulfide bonds, further facilitating the delivery of DOX and SPIO into the cells. Furthermore, the FA-SS-TPGS @DOX-SPIO nanoparticles exhibited strong MRI contrast enhancement properties. In conclusion, FA-SS-TPGS@DOX/SPIO are potential nanoparticles for tumor-targeted MRI and chemotherapy, which can also overcome multidrug resistance.
