Citronellol-cabazitaxel (CIT-ss-CTX) conjugate self-assembled nanoparticles (CSNPs) were designed and prepared by conjugating cabazitaxel with citronellol via the disulfide bond that is redox-sensitive to the high concentration of glutathione within tumor cells. Notably, the CSNPs maintained in the cell cytotoxicity. Moreover, the AUC(0-t) of CSNPs was 6.5-fold higher than that of cabazitaxel solutions and the t(1/2) was prolonged 2.3 times. Furthermore, we found that CSNPs could be employed as an efficient carrier for other hydrophobic drugs or imaging agents. Thus, the in vivo targeting study was implemented via using 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR)-loaded CSNPs as imaging agent, which showed CSNPs could effectively accumulate at the tumor site. Curcumin, a hydrophobic anticancer drug, was successfully loaded in CSNPs which exhibits good stability and synergistic antitumor effects. The citronellol cabazitaxel conjugate therefore has a promising perspective as a multifunctional nanomedicine for combination therapy and theranostics attributed to its long circulation property, redox-sensitive mechanism, and high drug coloading capability.
