In this study, a novel reduction‐sensitive drug delivery system, the rituximab–doxorubicin (RTX‐DOX) micellar nanoparticle (RDMN), was specially designed for targeted delivery and release of DOX in non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cells. The RDMN was fabricated by self‐assembling of amphiphilic RTX‐DOX conjugates (RDCs), which were synthesized by conjugating the hydrophilic Fab fragments of RTX (an anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody) and hydrophobic DOXs by a reduction‐responsive linker, 3‐(2‐Pyridyldithio) propionyl hydrazide (PDPH). The RDMNs were characterized via dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, both showed the sizes of approximately 94.1 ± 14.5 nm with a uniform size distribution. Polyplex dissociation, which was indicated by accelerated DOX release rate and increased particle size, was observed in the presence of 2.5 mm 1,4‐dithiothreitol due to the cleavage of disulfide bonds in PDPH linkers. In vitro transfection assays against human NHL cell line, JeKo‐1, showed significantly increased uptake for RDMNs, as compared to RDCs and free RTX/DOX. Both in and ex vivo experiments demonstrated that RDMNs showed the highest therapeutic effect among all the experimental groups. These results suggested that this RDMN could be a potential, safe and efficient drug delivery vector, which deserves further investigation in the clinic.
