Nanoparticle PEGylation for Cancer Therapy
Currently, there are more than 35 US FDA-approved NPs utilizing PEG in their biomedical applications. PEGylation, which is the addition of PEG to the NP formulation, provides immunity from the hostile biological environment. The ‘stealth’ property, further confers on the PEG-NP formulation benefits that are not normally provided by other polymers. This mini-review briefly describes the mechanis...
متن کاملNanoparticle PEGylation for imaging and therapy.
Nanoparticles are an essential component in the emerging field of nanomedical imaging and therapy. When deployed in vivo, these materials are typically protected from the immune system by polyethylene glycol (PEG). A wide variety of strategies to coat and characterize nanoparticles with PEG has established important trends on PEG size, shape, density, loading level, molecular weight, charge and...
متن کاملNanoparticle technologies for cancer therapy.
Nanoparticles as drug delivery systems enable unique approaches for cancer treatment. Over the last two decades, a large number of nanoparticle delivery systems have been developed for cancer therapy, including organic and inorganic materials. Many liposomal, polymer-drug conjugates, and micellar formulations are part of the state of the art in the clinics, and an even greater number of nanopar...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Assisted Ultrasound for Cancer Therapy
Herein, the concept and data for cancer treatment that combines ultrasound and nanoparticles is reported. Non-toxic gold and magnetic nanoparticles were used to enhance the ultrasound destruction of cancer cells in vitro. Separate monolayers of normal and cancer cells were treated by focused ultrasound with the result of more pronounced damage of cancer cells when biocompatible gold and magneti...
متن کاملMulti-dye theranostic nanoparticle platform for bioimaging and cancer therapy
BACKGROUND Theranostic nanomaterials composed of fluorescent and photothermal agents can both image and provide a method of disease treatment in clinical oncology. For in vivo use, the near-infrared (NIR) window has been the focus of the majority of studies, because of greater light penetration due to lower absorption and scatter of biological components. Therefore, having both fluorescent and ...
