The anti-tumor performance of docetaxel liposomes surface-modified with glycyrrhetinic acid

Abstract

The preliminary cellular uptake test showed the receptor-mediated endocytosis and enhanced hepatocytes-target for GA-modified liposomes. Compared with the unmodified liposome, GA-DX-Lip possessed better anti-tumor activity and unchanged pharmacokinetic behavior. The present results suggest that the GA-modified liposomes may be a promising delivery system for hepatocytes-target.
