Targeted Delivery of Protein Drugs by Nanocarriers
Recent advances in biotechnology demonstrate that peptides and proteins are the basis of a new generation of drugs. However, the transportation of protein drugs in the body is limited by their high molecular weight, which prevents the crossing of tissue barriers, and by their short lifetime due to immuno response and enzymatic degradation. Moreover, the ability to selectively deliver drugs to t...
متن کاملMulti-functional nanocarriers for targeted delivery of drugs and genes.
In this review article, we describe the different nano-platforms developed in our laboratory at Northeastern University in Boston, MA for the targeted delivery of drugs and genes. Special emphasis is placed on nano-platforms that offer opportunities for multi-functionalization to allow for targeted stimuli-responsive and/or simultaneous strategic delivery of multiple drugs, genes, as well as th...
متن کاملNew Protein Vector ApE1 for Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Drugs
A new chimeric gene ApE1 encoding the receptor-binding domain of the human alpha-fetoprotein fused to a sequence of 22 glutamic acid residues was constructed. A new bacterial producer strain E. coli SHExT7 ApE1 was selected for ApE1 production in a soluble state. A simplified method was developed to purify ApE1 from bacterial biomass. It was shown that the new vector protein selectively interac...
متن کاملTargeted Brain Delivery of Bioactive Molecules Using Nanocarriers
The brain is the center of the nervous system and an integral part of the body acting as a major regulating and conveying organ to maintain the body’s homeostasis in response to changes in both the external and internal surroundings. Brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons and 1 trillion glial cells [1]. The connection between two neurons is known as synapse, which are responsible f...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Functionalized Nanocarriers in Targeted Drug Delivery.
Targeted drug delivery using functionalized nanocarriers (NCs) is a strategy in therapeutic and diagnostic applications. In this paper we review the recent development of models at multiple length and time scales and their applications to targeting of antibody functionalized nanocarriers to antigens (receptors) on the endothelial cell (EC) surface. Our mesoscale (100 nm-1 μm) model is based on ...
