In this study, novel redox-sensitive nanoparticles based on xylan-lipoic acid (Xyl-LA) conjugate were developed for tumor targeted delivery of niclosamide (Nic) in cancer therapy. The niclosamide loaded xylan-lipoic acid conjugate nanoparticles (Xyl-LA/Nic NPs) showed redox responsive behaviour in presence of reductive glutathione (GSH), which indicate their suitability for intracellular drug release. The obtained Xyl-LA/Nic NPs exhibited uniform particle size (196 ± 1.64 nm), high loading capacity (~28.6 wt %) and excellent blood compatibility. The anticancer activity of the Niclosamide and the Xyl-LA/Nic NPs against the colon carcinoma cell lines (HCT-15, Colo-320) were evaluated by MTT assay and the overall results indicate that the Xyl-LA/Nic NPs significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficiency of niclosamide in cancer therapy.
