Lipid-like Self-Assembling Peptide Nanovesicles for Drug Delivery
Amphiphilic self-assembling peptides are functional materials, which, depending on the amino acid sequence, the peptide length, and the physicochemical conditions, form a variety of nanostructures including nanovesicles, nanotubes, and nanovalves. We designed lipid-like peptides with an aspartic acid or lysine hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail composed of six alanines (i.e., ac-A6K-CONH2,...
متن کاملMultifunctional Delivery Systems for Cancer Gene Therapy
This chapter examines key concepts with respect to cancer gene therapy and the cur‐ rent issues with respect to non-viral delivery. The biological and molecular barriers that need to be overcome before effective non-viral delivery systems can be appropri‐ ately designed for oncology applications are highlighted and ways to overcome these are discussed. Strategies developed to evade the immune r...
متن کاملEngineering biodegradable and multifunctional peptide-based polymers for gene delivery
The complex nature of in vivo gene transfer establishes the need for multifunctional delivery vectors capable of meeting these challenges. An additional consideration for clinical translation of synthetic delivery formulations is reproducibility and scale-up of materials. In this review, we summarize our work over the last five years in developing a modular approach for synthesizing peptide-bas...
متن کاملThermosensitive Self-Assembling Block Copolymers as Drug Delivery Systems
Self-assembling block copolymers (poloxamers, PEG/PLA and PEG/PLGA diblock and triblock copolymers, PEG/polycaprolactone, polyether modified poly(Acrylic Acid)) with large solubility difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties have the property of forming temperature dependent micellar aggregates and, after a further temperature increase, of gellifying due to micelle aggregation or ...
