Overview
Hepatic tissue serves as the primary organ for drug metabolism and elimination. Hepatocytes (70-85% of hepatic cellular mass) function as principal biosynthetic units, orchestrating metabolic regulation, endocrine signaling, and secretory activities. Kupffer cells constitute specialized macrophages executing immunoregulatory functions. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) act as perivascular sentinels, transitioning to myofibroblastic phenotypes upon injury—driving collagen deposition that progresses to fibrotic/cirrhotic pathologies. Despite advances in hepatotherapeutic agents, nonspecific hepatic sequestration rapidly clears compounds from circulation, yielding subtherapeutic concentrations at pathological sites. These limitations necessitate cell type-selective pharmacodelivery platforms for precision hepatology.
Delivery System Targeting Liver
Recent advances in nanomedicine have yielded hepatic-targeted platforms leveraging lipid-based architectures for precise delivery of pharmaceuticals and genetic payloads to diseased liver tissue. Engineered nanovectors now enable dual diagnostic-therapeutic applications for hepatic pathologies, with gene-editing systems showing particular promise in managing hepatocellular carcinoma and fibrotic progression. Metabolic liver conditions like NAFLD are being addressed through selective hepatocyte vectorization using lipid-based nanoemulsions, self-assembling micelles, or polymeric nanogels. Concurrently, macrophage-centric strategies exploit Kupffer cell tropism—achieved via PLGA matrices or stealth liposomes—to deploy immunoregulatory, antifibrotic, or inflammation-resolving agents. For viral hepatitis management, advanced conjugated systems combine antiviral nucleoside analogs with RNA interference payloads through lipid-polymer hybrid engineering.

Liver cancer research has intensified focus on therapeutic delivery platforms requiring precise spatiotemporal control of tumor-selective biodistribution, payload liberation kinetics, and nanocarrier integrity. Emerging modalities encompass nanoscale immunotherapy vectors (primarily liposomal architectures) and viral-mediated gene-editing systems. Transarterial chemoembolization utilizing drug-eluting microspheres has emerged as a locoregional intervention for HCC. Contemporary approaches employ stimuli-responsive nanovectors and biofunctionalized architectures for chemotherapy/genetic payload deployment. Parallel diagnostic innovation leverages plasmonic gold nanostructures, superparamagnetic particles, and fluorescence-tagged nanoreporters for early lesion detection.

While hepatic tissues naturally accumulate pharmaceuticals at elevated levels, precision targeting remains critical due to the hepatic system's dominant role in xenobiotic processing—encompassing uptake, detoxification, biotransformation, and biliary excretion via transporter-mediated pathways. This results in rapid systemic clearance and pronounced first-pass elimination. Notably, hepatocyte-mediated internalization governs bulk hepatic assimilation, whereas Kupffer macrophages predominantly sequester particulate cargos. Thus, therapeutic agents—whether free molecules or carrier-conjugated formulations—may fail to achieve cell-selective biodistribution. Moreover, hepatic retention kinetics are governed by macrophage-vector interactions and compartmental pharmacokinetic parameters. The critical challenge lies in engineering cell type-specific accumulation while sustaining intracellular therapeutic concentrations over extended durations.
