Abstract excerpt
In this study, doxorubicin (DOX) was conjugated to a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium (TPP) that is selectively taken up by the mitochondrial membrane of cells. This new derivative of DOX, i.e., TPP-DOX, was characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR), and mass spectrometry. The effect of TPP modification on DOX cell uptake, intracellular trafficking, eventual DOX...
