Popis: In order to make the drug specifically aggregate at the tumor site, we had developed a targeted drug delivery system based on pH responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-COOH) were prepared and doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the pores of MSN-COOH, and then polyethyleneimine (PEI) and anisamide (AA) were modified on the surface of mesoporous silica, named DOX@MSN-PEI-AA(DMPA). DMPA specifically entered tumor cells through AA-mediated receptor endocytosis; PEI dissociated from the surface of the MSN in the acidic environment of cellular lysosomes/endosomes due to protonation of PEI, resulting in steady release of the encapsulated DOX from the pores of MSN in the cytoplasm of the target cells.
