Nanocarriers for siRNA Therapy
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) therapy has opened exceptional advantageous opportunity for the treatment of diseases. Usually naked siRNA are subjected to internal harsh environment and rapidly degraded by RNases after administration. To overcome this issue various nanodelivery platforms have been developed and utilized in drug delivery due to narrowed size distribution, improved bioavailabili...
متن کاملTherapeutic Considerations and Conjugated Polymer-Based Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy.
Conjugated polymers have recently attracted a great deal of attention for applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT) because of their light-harvesting capability, efficient energy transfer, and singlet oxygen generation properties. This review describes recent advances in PDT development, including therapeutic mechanisms of PDT in cancer treatments, light excitation methods, and especially rece...
متن کاملNovel methods to incorporate photosensitizers into nanocarriers for cancer treatment by photodynamic therapy.
OBJECTIVE A hydrophobic photosensitizer, 2-[1-hexyloxyethyl]-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH), was loaded into nontoxic biodegradable amine functionalized polyacrylamide (AFPAA) nanoparticles using three different methods (encapsulation, conjugation, and post-loading), forming a stable aqueous dispersion. Each formulation was characterized for physicochemical properties as well as for photod...
متن کاملpH- and NIR light responsive nanocarriers for combination treatment of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
The side effects of antitumor drugs and low treatment efficacy are two major challenges of current chemotherapy. To address these issues, we developed a new kind of smart nanocarriers that combine pH-responsive chemotherapy and near-infrared (NIR) light triggered photodynamic therapy. These nanocarriers were based on upconversion nanoparticle (UCN)-loaded folate-conjugated polymeric lipid vesic...
متن کاملProgrammed photosensitizer conjugated supramolecular nanocarriers with dual targeting ability for enhanced photodynamic therapy.
A programmed supramolecular nanocarrier was developed for multistage targeted photodynamic therapy. This smart nanocarrier exhibited enhanced cellular uptake and controlled mitochondria targeting, as well as an excellent photodynamic therapeutic effect after light irradiation.
