Glutathione Programmed Mitochondria Targeted Delivery of Lonidamine for Effective Against Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Mitochondria are a significant target of lonidamine (LND). However, its limited solubility and inability to specifically target mitochondria, LND can lead to hepatic toxicity and has shown only modest anticancer activity. The objective of this study is to establish a glutathione programmed mitochondria targeted delivery of LND for the effective treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: In this study, LND was encapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) wrapped with mitochondria-targeting short-chain triphenylphosphonium-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPP-TPGS, TPS) and tumor-targeting long-chain 1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-S-S-polyethylene glycol-R6RGD (DSPE-S-S-PEG Results: LND-PLGA/TPS/DSSR NPs were successfully prepared, and characterization revealed that they are globular particles with smooth surfaces and an average diameter of about 250 nm. Long-chain DSSR in LND-PLGA/TPS/DSSR NPs prevented positively charged LND-PLGA/TPS NPs from being cleared by the reticuloendothelial system. Furthermore, LND release rate from NPs at pH 8.0 was significantly higher than that at pH 7.4 and 5.5, which demonstrated specific LND release in mitochondria and prevented LND leakage in cytoplasm and lysosome. NPs could locate in mitochondria, and the released LND triggered apoptosis of tumor cells by damaging mitochondria and releasing apoptosis-related proteins. In addition, in TNBC mice model, programmed mitochondria targeted NPs improved efficacy and reduced LND toxicity. Conclusion: LND-PLGA/TPS/DSSR NPs may be a useful system and provide an effective approach for the treatment of TNBC.
