A novel tumor-targeted glutathione responsive Glycosylated-Camptothecin nanosupramolecular prodrug (CPT-GL NSp) was designed and fabricated via a disulfide bond. The effects of glycoligand with different polarities on solubility, self-assembly, stability, cellular uptake, and glutathione responsive cleaving were explored, and an optimal glycosylated ligand was selected for nanosupramolecular prodrug. It has been found that CPT-GL NSp exhibited higher drug loading than traditional nanoparticles. Among of which maltose modified NSp had the strongest anti-tumor effects than that of glucose and maltotriose. CPT-SS-Maltose had a similar anti-tumor ability to Irinotecan (IR), but the superior performance in solubility, hemolysis, and uptake of HepG2 cells.
