Doxorubicin (DOXO) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug widely used in chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment. A globular protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) holds great potential as carriers in pharmaceutical applications. This work is aimed at developing the DOXO-coupled glycated BSA nanoparticles via desolvation method for improving the capability of targeting the GLUT5 transporters over-expressed on breast cancer cells. Fructosamine assay and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were employed to determine the content of fructosamine structure and structural changes on the surfaces of nanoparticles, respectively. Additionally, the synthesized BSA nanoparticles were further characterized by electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Results revealed that the DOXO-coupled glycated BSA nanoparticles were spherically shaped with a hydrodynamic diameter of ~60.74 nm and a ζ-potential of ~ − 42.20 mV. Moreover, the DOXO release behavior of as-synthesized DOXO-coupled glycated BSA nanoparticles was examined under different conditions. Finally, the DOXO-coupled glycated BSA nanoparticles were found to exhibit cytotoxicity toward both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Our findings evidently suggested that the drug-coupled glycated BSA nanoparticles serve as the potential candidates for targeted drug delivery platform used in breast cancer therapy. |
