A Novel Triptolide Nano-Liposome with Mitochondrial Targeting for Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Background: Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that although triptolide (TP) is effective against hepatocellular carcinoma, it has poor water solubility and more toxic side effects. In this study, we used triptolide (TP), a bioactive constituent in Methods: We constructed a functionally-modified triptolide liposome (FA+TPP-TP-Lips) using the film-dispersion method and investigated its physicochemical properties, mitochondrial targeting of hepatic tumour cells, in vitro and in vivo anti-hepatic tumour activity and its mechanism. Results: The prepared FA+TPP-TP-Lips had a particle size of 99.28 ± 5.7 nm, a PDI of 0.20 ± 0.02, a zeta potential of 1.2 ± 0.08 mV, and an encapsulation rate of 74.37% ± 1.07%.FA+TPP-TP-Lips facilitates the cellular uptake of drug delivery systems and improves their targeted delivery to mitochondria. The results of cell efficacy showed that FA+TPP-TP-Lips significantly inhibited the growth of liver cancer cells, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased intracellular ROS, thus enhancing the highest apoptosis rate of liver cancer cells. The targeted liposomes (FA-TP-Lips, TPP-TP-Lips, and FA+TPP-TP-Lips) had some degree of inhibitory migration effect on Huh-7 cells relative to the unmodified TP-Lips. Studies on tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that FA+ TPP-TP-Lips effectively accumulated in tumor tissues and significantly inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of 79.37%. FA+ TPP-TP-Lips demonstrated an enhanced anti-liver tumor effect and significantly mitigated the hepatotoxicity and systemic toxicity associated with TP. Conclusion: In summary, the results of this study can provide a feasible solution for improving the mitochondrial targeting of nano-liposomes, and lay a foundation for further developing a novel nano targeting preparation of triptolide for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
