Targeting glycan-binding receptors is an attractive strategy for cell-specific drug and gene delivery. The C-type lectin asialo-glycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is particularly suitable for liver-specific delivery due to its exclusive expression by parenchymal hepatocytes. In this study, we designed and developed an efficient synthesis of carbohydrate-functionalized β-cyclodextrins (βCDs) and liposomes for hepatocyte-specific delivery. For targeting of ASGPR, rhodamine B-loaded βCDs were functionalized with glycodendrimers. Liposomes were equipped with synthetic glycolipids containing a terminal d-GalNAc residue to mediate binding to ASGPR. Uptake studies in the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 demonstrated that βCDs and liposomes displaying terminal d-Gal/d-GalNAc residues were preferentially endocytosed. In contrast, uptake of βCDs and liposomes with terminal d-Man or D-GlcNAc residues was markedly reduced. The d-Gal/d-GalNAc-functionalized βCDs and liposomes presented here enable hepatocyte-specific targeting. Gal-functionalized βCDs are efficient mol. carriers to deliver doxorubicin in vitro into hepatocytes and induce apoptosis.
