Popis: DOX-loaded nanoparticles able to actively target CD44-receptors and respond to redox stimuli were proposed as non-conventional chemotherapeutic strategy in breast cancer. A covalent conjugate of human serum albumin and hyaluronic acid was prepared and assembled by a GSH-mediated desolvation in disulfide-crosslinked solid nanoparticles with mean diameter of 120 nm ± 3.4. The effective internalization of nanoparticles in cancer cells via CD44-receptors, together with the more efficient intracellular release, resulted in a significant increase of drug efficacy, with IC
