A drug-specific nanocarrier design for efficient anticancer therapy
The drug-loading properties of nanocarriers depend on the chemical structures and properties of their building blocks. Here we customize telodendrimers (linear dendritic copolymer) to design a nanocarrier with improved in vivo drug delivery characteristics. We do a virtual screen of a library of small molecules to identify the optimal building blocks for precise telodendrimer synthesis using pe...
متن کاملPolyester dendrimers: a versatile nanocarrier for target specific drug delivery
Background Improving the therapeutic index of drugs is a major impetus for innovation in many therapeutic areas such as HIV, cancer, inflammatory and other infectious diseases. Polyester based dendrimers constitute a very attractive class of materials because they are less toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. Our aim is to develop a novel ester based versatile dendritic nanocarrier that coul...
متن کاملApoferritin protein cages: a novel drug nanocarrier for photodynamic therapy.
A methylene blue-encapsulated apoferritin complex shows cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells when irradiated at the appropriate wavelength.
متن کاملethosome: a nanocarrier for transdermal drug delivery
ethosomes are a novel and alternative drug delivery systems and currently the focus of many research activities. ethosomes are soft, flexible vesicles that are composed mainly of phospholipids, ethanol and water. ethosomes can provide better skin permeation than liposomes and deliver enhanced amounts of both small and large therapeutic agents through skin and targeting to deeper skin layers for...
متن کاملDual-Target Anticancer Drug Candidates: Rational Design and Simulation Studies
This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...
