Anticancer drug-loaded nanoparticles have been explored extensively to decrease side effects while improving their therapeutic efficacy. However, due to the low drug loading content, premature drug release, non-standardized carrier structure, and difficulty in predicting the fate of the carrier, only a few nanomedicines have been approved by the FDA. Hereby, we developed a carrier-free nanoparticle based on the self-assembly of the curcumin-erlotinib conjugate (EPC), which has a size of about 105 nm. The EPC nano-assembly exhibited more potent cell killing, better anti-migration and anti-invasion effects for BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells than the combination of free curcumin and erlotinib. Furthermore, benefited from both passive and active tumor targeting effect, EPC nano-assembly could effectively accumulate in the tumor tissue in a xenograft pancreatic tumor mouse model. Consequently, EPC effectively reduced the growth of pancreatic tumors and extended the median survival time of the tumor-bearing mice from 22 days to 68 days. In addition, no systemic toxicity was detected in the major organs from the mice receiving EPC treatment. Attributed to the uniformity of the curcumin-erlotinib conjugate and easiness of scaling up, we expect the EPC could be translated into a powerful tool in fighting against pancreatic cancer and other EGFR positive cancers. Carrier-free nano-assembly, EPC, is fabricated from a curcumin-erlotinib conjugate, which has the merit of uniform structure and easy scaling-up. Due to the existence of erlotinib outlayer, EPC effectively accumulates in the tumor and enters EGFR positive cancer cells. Benefit from the synergetic effect of curcumin and erlotinib, EPC reduces the growth of tumors and extends the survival time of the animal with pancreatic cancer.
