Nanoparticle-structuring aimed at the acetic acid (A) transporter on intestinal epithelial cells and tumor cells is a new potential strategy to enhance oral bioavailability and anti-tumor efficacy. In this study, chitosan (CS) was modified with hydrophilic A and hydrophobic lipoic acid (L), to produce ACSL. A novel ACSL-modified multifunctional liposomes (Lip) loaded with docetaxel (DTX; DTX-ACSL-Lip) was then prepared and characterized. DTX-ACSL-Lip recorded higher pH sensitivity and slower release than DTX-Lip and showed dithiothreitol (DTT) response release. DTX-ACSL-Lip uptake by Caco-2 cells was also significantly enhanced mainly viaA transporters compared with DTX-Lip. ACSL modification of DTX-Lip also improved oral bioavailability by 10.70-folds, with a 3.45-fold increase in Cₘₐₓ and a 1.19-fold prolongation in retention time of DTX in the blood. Moreover, the grafting degree of A significantly affected cell uptake and oral bioavailability. They also showed a significant (1.33-fold) increase in drug intratumoral distribution, as well as an increase in tumor growth inhibition rate from 54.34% to 87.51% without weight loss, compared with DTX-Lip. Therefore, modification of DTX-Lip with ACSL can significantly enhance the oral bioavailability and anti-tumor efficacy of DTX without obvious toxicity, confirming the potential of the dual strategy of targeting A transporter and controlled drug release in tumor cells in oral therapy of tumor.
