Special targeted therapy like endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted therapy is available for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Biodegradable core-shell lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPNs) can combine the beneficial properties of lipid and polymeric NPs for controlled drug delivery. In the present study, epidermal growth factor (EGF) conjugated LPNs were fabricated to co-deliver docetaxel (DTX) and resveratrol (RSV). In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that EGF DTX/RSV LPNs have significant synergistic effects, best tumor inhibition ability and the lowest systemic toxicity. The results indicate that EGF DTX/RSV LPNs may be a promising strategy for treatment of NSCLC.
