Targeted multifunctional tannic acid nanoparticles

Multifunctional MIL-S─CUR@FC nanoparticles: a targeted theranostic agent for magnetic resonance imaging and tumor targeted delivery of curcumin

Introduction: Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted drug delivery systems, usually referred to as theranostic agents, are being developed to enable detection, site-specific treatment, and long-term monitoring.   Materials and Methods: To elucidate the effects of coating on cellular uptake and biodistribution of n...

Multifunctional squalene-based prodrug nanoparticles for targeted cancer therapy.

Fluorescent and biotinylated squalene-gemcitabine prodrug nanoparticles exhibiting high drug payloads have been prepared and successfully used to target different cancer cell lines, resulting in increased cell uptake and improved anticancer efficiency, which represents the first targeted system derived from the squalenoylation approach.

Multifunctional magnetic calcium phosphate nanoparticles for targeted platin delivery.

Magnetic mesoporous amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles with a size of 62 nm and abundant -COOH groups on the surface have been prepared by a simple method. The particles show excellent aqueous dispersion stability in physiological pH without any deterioration in hydrodynamic size and zetapotential. By virtue of the carboxylate groups on the surface, the platinum pharmacophore cis-diaquad...

Multifunctional nanoparticles for combining ultrasonic tumor imaging and targeted chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND Drug delivery in polymeric micelles combined with tumor irradiation by ultrasound results in effective drug targeting, but this technique requires prior tumor imaging. A technology that combined ultrasound imaging with ultrasound-mediated nanoparticle-based targeted chemotherapy could therefore have important applications in cancer treatment. METHODS Mixtures of drug-loaded polymer...
