Cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS)-conjugated chitosan (CS)-based self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) were developed for enhancing the intracellular uptake of docetaxel in multidrug resistance (MDR)-acquired cancer cells. CHS-CS was successfully synthesized and self-aggregation, particle size, zeta potential, drug entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release of docetaxel-loaded CHS-CS NPs were tested. The optimized NPs had a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 303 nm, positive zeta potential of 21.3 mV, and spherical shape. The in vitro release of docetaxel from the optimized CHS-CS NPs in different pH medium (pH 6.0 and 7.4) revealed that the release was improved in a more acidic condition (pH 6.0), representing a tumor cell’s environment. The superior MDR-overcoming effect of docetaxel-loaded CHS-CS NPs, compared with docetaxel solution, was verified in anti-proliferation and cellular accumulation studies in MDR-acquired KBV20C cells. Thus, CHS-CS NPs could be potentially used for overcoming the MDR effect in anticancer drug delivery.

Vitamin E d-ɑ-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 succinate (TPGS) and indomethacin (IDM) can reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) via inhibiting P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) respectively, but their drawbacks in physicochemical properties limit their clinical application. To overcome these defects and enhance MDR reversal, the amphiphilic TPGS-IDM twin drug was successfully synthesized via esterification, and could self-assemble into free and paclitaxel-loaded (PTX-loaded) micelles. The micelles exhibited lower CMC values (5.2 × 10−5 mg/mL), long-term stability in PBS (pH 7.4) for 7 days and SDS solution (5 mg/mL) for 3 days, and effective drug release at esterase/pH 5.0. Moreover, the micelles could down-regulate ATP levels and promote ROS production in MCF-7/ADR via the mitochondrial impairment, therefore achieving MDR reversal and cell apoptosis. Additionally, the PTX-loaded micelles could significantly inhibit the cell proliferation and promote apoptosis for MCF-7/ADR via the synergistic chemosensitizing effect of TPGS and IDM, and synergistic cytotoxic effect of TPGS and PTX. Thus, the chemosensitizing micelles self-assembled from amphiphilic TPGS-indomethacin twin drug have the great potentials for reversing MDR in clinical cancer therapy.
