Popis: Abstract A novel pH/redox-responsive hyperbranched MeO-PEG-b-(NIPAAm-co-PBAE) nanoparticles (NPs) were designed with size shrinkage and charge-reversible potential for targeted delivery of docetaxel (DTX) to MDA-MB-231 cell lines. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), amine protonation induces charge reversal and disulfide bond cleavage under high TME GSH concentration causing size shrinkage, improved deep tumor penetration, and active targeting of the therapeutic agents. These nano drug delivery systems (NDDSs) significantly promoted cancer cell uptake (~ 100% at 0.5 h), facilitating site-specific delivery and deep tumor penetration. The MTT assay revealed significantly higher cytotoxicity (P value
