Effects of nanosized drug delivery systems on cancer are often compromised due to their low drug loadings, premature drug release and multi-drug resistance (MDR). Herein, we reported a glutathione detonated and pH responsive nano-cluster of Au nanorods (AuNRs) with chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) and pre-chemosensitizer polycurcumin to treat MCF-7/ADR cells. The nano-cluster was prepared by self-assembling of AuNRs conjugated with DOX and amphiphilic poly(curcumin-co-dithiodipropionic acid)-b-biotinylated poly(ethylene glycol) via an emulsion/solvent evaporation technique, termed AuNR Cluster. The AuNR Cluster had a high drug loading (31.5% DOX), presenting much better aqueous solubility and stability at physiological pH than their individual AuNRs. The AuNR Cluster could be detonated to be their individual AuNRs at an intracellular concentration level of glutathione (GSH) (5 mM) and triggered to release DOX at an acidic pH (pH 6.8 or 5.0), which effectively facilitated cellular uptake of DOX (607 vs 356 a.u. for AuNRs at 12 h) and inhibited DOX efflux (471.33 vs 39.17 a.u. for free DOX at 24 h). The IC50 value of DOX against MCF-7/ADR cells for AuNR Cluster was 4.15 mu g/mL, much lower than that for free DOX (90.97 mu g/mL). The AuNR Cluster took much more photothermal effects than their corresponding AuNRs and presented enhanced anti-tumor effect (IC50: 2.61 mu g/mL) under 808 nm laser irradiation.
