Abstract: Employing an active targeting method with monoclonal antibodies for chemotherapeutics‐loaded nanocarriers represents a promising option to enhance the specific drug delivery and alleviate the detrimental effects of chemotherapeutic agents. Targeted delivery to the human epidermal growth factor receptor‐2 (HER2), which is overexpressed in HER2+ lung cancerous cells, can be accomplished by conjugating nanoparticles with a monoclonal antibody (anti‐HER2). We developed trastuzumab (TZ)‐conjugated chitosan iodoacetamide (CsIA)‐coated liposomal nanoparticles carrying SN‐38 (TZ‐SN‐CsIA LNPs) as a lung‐targeted delivery. CsIA was used to develop trastuzumab‐clacked nanoparticles (TZ LNPs). The structure, physicochemical characteristics, SN‐38 encapsulation, SN‐38 release, and anticancer properties of the LNPs were established. The TZ LNPs were spherical, measuring around 77 nm in diameter, and exhibited a positive zeta potential; upon drug incorporation, the diameter of the TZ LNPs enlarged. A sustained, 24‐h SN‐38 release from the nanocarriers was accomplished. TZ LNPs demonstrated substantial cellular accumulation and markedly enhanced anticancer efficacy against HER2+ Calu‐3 lung adenocarcinoma cancer cells compared to the drug solution and unconjugated LNPs. Consequently, TZ‐SN‐CsIA LNPs may be a potential nanocarrier for HER2+ lung cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
