This present study aimed to develop a mitochondriatargeted delivery system by using triphenylphosphonium cation(TPP+)-conjugated Brij 98 as the functional stabilizer to modify paclitaxel(PTX) nanocrystals(NCs) against drugresistant cancer cells. Evaluations were performed on 2 D monolayer and 3 D multicellular spheroids(MCs) of MCF-7 cells and MCF-7/ADR cells. In comparison with free PTX and the non-targeted PTX NCs,the targeted PTX NCs showed the strongest cytotoxicity against both2 D MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells,which was correlated with decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. The targeted PTX NCs exhibited deeper penetration on MCF-7 MCs and more significant growth inhibition on both MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR MCs. The proposed strategy indicated that the TPP+-modified NCs represent a potentially viable approach for targeted chemotherapeutic molecules to mitochondria. This strategy might provide promising therapeutic outcomes to overcome MDR.展开更多
