The over-expression of glucose transporters （GLUTs） on the BBB and brain glioma cells enables the possibility that the GLUTs ligand modified drug carrier transports across the BBB, and targets to the brain glioma cells. The objectives of the present study were to synthesize a new glucose conjugate material, TPGS1000-Glu, develop a kind of TPGSI00o-Glu modified epirubicin liposomes, and evaluate their efficacy. The studies were performed on the BBB co-culture model and brain glioma cells in vitro. TPGS 1000-Glu was synthesized by conjugating TPGSlo00_COOH with 4-aminophenyl-[3-D-glucopyranoside （Glu）, and confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum.

The BBB co-culture model was established, and after applying TPGSl0oo-Glu modified epirubicin liposomes to the model, transport of liposomal drug across the BBB was evidenced. Besides, TPGS1000-Glu modified epirubicin liposomes showed the strongest cellular drug uptake and anti-glioma efficacy after transport across the BBB in vitro. The synthesized TPGS1000-Glu material could offer a new targeting ligand for the BBB, while the developed TPGS1000-Glu modified epirubicin liposomes might provide a potential anticancer formulation for treatment of brain glioma.展开更多
