ABSTRACT
Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer therapy; however, its efficacy is limited due to poor targeting specificity and severe side effects. Currently, the next generations of delivery systems with multitasking potential have attracted significant attention for cancer therapy. This study reports on the design and synthesis of a multifunctional nanoplatform based on niosomes (NIO) coloaded with paclitaxel (PTX), a chemotherapeutic drug commonly used to treat breast cancer, and sodium oxamate (SO), a glycolytic inhibitor to enhance the cytotoxicity of anticancer drug, along with quantum dots (QD) as bioimaging agents, and hyaluronic acid (HA) coating for active targeting. HN@QPS nanoparticles with a size of â¼150 nm and a surface charge of -39.9 mV with more than 90% EE for PTX were synthesized. Codelivery of SO with PTX remarkably boosted the anticancer effects of PTX, achieving IC50 values of 1-5 and >0.5 ppm for HN@QP and HN@QPS, respectively. Further, HN@QPS treatment enhanced the apoptosis rate by more than 70% in MCF-7 breast cancer cells without significant cytotoxicity on HHF-2 normal cells. Also, quantification of mitochondrial fluorescence showed efficient toxicity against MCF-7 cells. Moreover, the cellular uptake evaluation demonstrated an improved uptake of HN@Q in MCF-7 cells. Taken together, this preliminary research indicated the potential of HN@QPS as an efficient targeted-dual drug delivery nanotheranostic against breast cancer cells.
