The treatment of glioma has become a great challenge because of the existence of brain barrier (BB). In order to develop an efficient brain targeting drug delivery system to greatly improve the brain permeability of anti-cancer drugs, a novel brain-targeted glucose-vitamin C (Glu-Vc) derivative was designed and synthesized as liposome ligand for preparing liposome to effectively deliver paclitaxel (PTX). The liposome was prepared and its particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, release profile, stability, hemolysis and cytotoxicity were also characterized. What’s more, the cellular uptake of CFPE-labeled Glu-Vc-Lip on GLUT1- and SVCT2-overexpressed C6 cells was 4.79-, 1.95-, 4.00- and 1.53-fold higher than that of Lip, Glu-Lip, Vc-Lip and Glu + Vc-Lip. Also, the Glu-Vc modified liposomes showed superior targeting abilityin vivoevaluation compared with naked paclitaxel, non-coated, singly-modified and co-modified by physical blending liposomes. The relative uptake efficiency was enhanced by 7.53 fold to that of naked paclitaxel, while the concentration efficiency was up to 7.89 times. What’s more, the Glu-Vc modified liposomes also displayed the maximum accumulation of DiD-loaded liposomes at tumor sites with the strongest fluorescence in the brainin vivoimaging. Our results suggest that chemical modification of liposomes with warheads of glucose and vitamin C represents a promising and efficient strategy for the development of brain-specific liposomes drug delivery system by utilizing the endogenous transportation mechanism of the warheads.
