A Novel Triptolide Nano-Liposome with Mitochondrial Targeting for Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Zhou L, Du Y, Shang Y, Xiang D, Xia X

“…In this study, we used triptolide (TP), a bioactive constituent in Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, as a model drug to develop a novel nano-liposome drug delivery system for the treatment of liver tumours.Methods: We constructed a functionally-modified triptolide liposome (FA+TPP-TP-Lips) using the film-dispersion method and investigated its physicochemical properties, mitochondrial targeting of hepatic tumour cells, in vitro and in vivo anti-hepatic tumour activity and its mechanism.Results: The prepared FA+TPP-TP-Lips had a particle size of 99.28 ± 5.7 nm, a PDI of 0.20 ± 0.02, a zeta potential of 1.2 ± 0.08 mV, and an encapsulation rate of 74.37% ± 1.07%.FA+TPP-TP-Lips facilitates the cellular uptake of drug delivery systems and improves their targeted delivery to mitochondria. …”
