An activatable theranostic for targeted cancer therapy and imaging.
A new theranostic strategy is described. It is based on the use of an "all in one" prodrug, namely the biotinylated piperazine-rhodol conjugate 4 a. This conjugate, which incorporates the anticancer drug SN-38, undergoes self-immolative cleavage when exposed to biological thiols. This leads to the tumor-targeted release of the active SN-38 payload along with fluorophore 1 a. This release is mad...
متن کاملRethinking Brain Cancer Therapy: Tumor Enzyme Activatable Theranostic Nanoparticles
This invited commentary discusses a recent article by Mohanty et al in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics about significant therapeutic efficacies of novel theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) for the treatment of human brain cancers in mouse models. The TNPs were cleaved by enzymes in the tumor tissue, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-14), which lead to release of a highly potent therapeutic drug, azademe...
متن کاملColloidal silver nanoparticles improve anti-leukemic drug efficacy via amplification of oxidative stress.
Recently, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and altered redox status in cancer cells have become a novel therapeutic strategy to improve cancer selectivity over normal cells. It has been known that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) display anti-leukemic activity via ROS overproduction. Hence, we hypothesized that AgNPs could improve therapeutic efficacy of ROS-generating agents against ...
متن کاملA New Method Without Organic Solvent to Targeted Nanodrug for Enhanced Anticancer Efficacy
Since the hydrophobic group is always essential to the synthesis of the drug-loaded nanoparticles, a majority of the methods rely heavily on organic solvent, which may not be completely removed and might be a potential threat to the patients. In this study, we completely "green" synthesized 10-hydroxycamptothecine (HCPT) loaded, folate (FA)-modified nanoneedles (HFNDs) for highly efficient canc...
متن کاملRelationships between Oxidative Stress, Cancer Development and Therapeutic Interventions
Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between the generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [1]. Low or moderate amounts of ROS have beneficial effects on several physiological processes including wound healing, killing of invading pathogens and tissue repair processes [2]. However, excessive production of ROS can lead to damage of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), lipids and...
