To prepare immunomicelles, new targeted carriers for poorly soluble pharmaceuticals, a procedure has been developed to chemically attach mAbs reactive groups incorporated into the corona of polymeric micelles made polyethylene glycol-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates. Micelle-attached antibodies retained their ability specifically interact with antigens. Immunomicelles attached antitumor mAb 2C5 effectively recognized and bound various cancer cells in vitro showed an increased accumulation...
To develop targeted pharmaceutical carriers additionally capable of responding to certain local stimuli, such as decreased pH values in tumors or infarcts, long-circulating PEGylated liposomes and PEG-phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-PE)-based micelles have been prepared with several functions. First, they are targeting a specific cell organ by attaching the monoclonal antimyosin antibody 2G4 their surface via pNP-PEG-PE moieties. Second, these were modified biotin TAT peptide (TATp) moieties...
A novel "smart" multifunctional drug delivery system was successfully developed to respond the up-regulated matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP2) in tumor microenvironment and improve cancer cell-specific of loaded drugs. The represents a surface-functionalized liposomal nanocarrier, for which two functional polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid conjugates were synthesized characterized. functionalized liposome further modified with antinucleosome monoclonal antibody (mAb 2C5). In resulting system,...
Significance The clinical outcomes of anticancer drugs are compromised by their poor physicochemical properties, low tumor targeting, insufficient bioavailability, and side effects. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) has been found overexpressed in most cancers responsible for cell proliferation metastasis. In this study, a self-assembling MMP2-sensitive paclitaxel-containing micellar nanopreparation was developed. Several major drug delivery strategies, including self-assembly, PEGylation,...
Liposomes are delivery systems that have been used to formulate a vast variety of therapeutic and imaging agents for the past several decades. They significant advantages over their free forms in terms pharmacokinetics, sensitivity cancer diagnosis efficacy. The multifactorial nature complex physiology tumor microenvironment require development multifunctional nanocarriers. Multifunctional liposomal nanocarriers should combine long blood circulation improve pharmacokinetics loaded agent...
