Targeting tumor metastases: Drug delivery mechanisms and technologies.
Primary sites of tumor are the focal triggers of cancers, yet it is the subsequent metastasis events that cause the majority of the morbidity and mortality. Metastatic tumor cells exhibit a phenotype that differs from that of the parent cells, as they represent a resistant, invasive subpopulation of the original tumor, may have acquired additional genetic or epigenetic alterations under exposur...
متن کاملTumor Targeting and Drug Delivery by Anthrax Toxin
Anthrax toxin is a potent tripartite protein toxin from Bacillus anthracis. It is one of the two virulence factors and causes the disease anthrax. The receptor-binding component of the toxin, protective antigen, needs to be cleaved by furin-like proteases to be activated and to deliver the enzymatic moieties lethal factor and edema factor to the cytosol of cells. Alteration of the protease clea...
متن کاملTargeting Receptors, Transporters and Site of Absorption to Improve Oral Drug Delivery
Although the oral route of drug administration is the most acceptable way of self-medication with a high degree of patient compliance, the intestinal absorption of many drugs is severely hampered by different biological barriers. These barriers comprise of biochemical and physical components. The biochemical barrier includes enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal lumen, brush border and ...
متن کاملRational modifications of cell-penetrating peptides for drug delivery Applications in tumor targeting and oligonucleotide delivery
High molecular weight biomolecules are becoming increasingly important in the development of new therapeutics. However, the hydrophilic nature and size of such molecules creates a major limitation for their application – poor penetration through biological membranes. Over a decade ago, a new class of peptides, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), with membrane translocating ability, was discovered...
متن کاملPeptide-mediated targeting to tumor blood vessels of lung cancer for drug delivery.
Antiangiogenesis therapies for the treatment of cancers hold the promise of high efficacy and low toxicity. In vivo phage display was used to identify peptides specifically targeting tumor blood vessels. The peptide SP5-52 recognized tumor neovasculature but not normal blood vessels in severe combined immunodeficiency mice bearing human tumors. Synthetic peptide was shown to inhibit the binding...
