Development of liposomal nanomedicine with robust stability, high drug loading and synergistic efficacy is a promising strategy for effective cancer therapy. Here, we present an iron-crosslinked rosmarinic liposome (Rososome) which can load high contents of drugs (including 25.8% rosmarinic acid and 9.04% doxorubicin), keep stable in a high concentration of anionic detergent and exhibit synergistic anti-cancer efficacy. The Rososomes were constructed by rosmarinic acid-lipid conjugates which not only work synergistically with doxorubicin by producing reactive oxygen species but also provide catechol moieties for the iron cross-linkages. The cross-linkages can lock the payloads tightly, endowing the crosslinked Rososome with better stability and pharmacokinetics than its non-crosslinked counterpart. On the syngeneic mouse model of breast cancer, the iron-crosslinked Rososomes exhibit better anticancer efficacy than free rosmarinic acid, doxorubicin, non-crosslinked Rososome and commercial liposomal formulation of doxorubicin (DOXIL). This study introduces a novel strategy for the development of liposomes with robust stability, high drug loading and synergistic anti-cancer efficacy.
