Formulation of temozolomide by folic acid-conjugated tri-block copolymer nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of the brain. But, the treatment of GBM is one of the most problems in cancer therapy because of poor drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Targeting drug delivery system and conjugating targeting moieties was recognized to overcome the poor penetration of chemotherapy drug...
متن کاملAntibody-Conjugated Nanoparticles of Biodegradable Polymers for Targeted Drug Delivery
Target-specific delivery of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents has become a main concern in the research of nanomedicine and in the pharmaceutical industry. Formulation of targeting effects can deliver high dose of the formulated diagnostic/therapeutic agents specifically to the diseased cells and leave the healthy cells untouched, which can thus result in much higher diagnostic/therapeutic e...
متن کاملCloning and expression of tetanus toxin C fragment (Fc) in prokaryotic vector for constructing recombinant protein based vaccine for tetanus
Tetanus is a disease caused by tetanus toxin, a potent inhibitor for the release of inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that causes spastic paralysis. Fragment C (52 kD) of this toxin is responsible for binding to the neuronal membrane. For this reason, and also its non toxigenic and immunogenic nature, this fragment might be ideal for new vaccine development. Presently, w...
متن کاملTetanus toxin fragment C as a vector to enhance delivery of proteins to the CNS.
The non-toxic neuronal binding domain of tetanus toxin (tetanus toxin fragment C, TTC) has been used as a vector to enhance delivery of potentially therapeutic proteins to motor neurons from the periphery following an intramuscular injection. The unique binding and transport properties of this 50-kDa polypeptide suggest that it might also enhance delivery of proteins to neurons after direct inj...
متن کاملCell surface-exposed tetanus toxin fragment C produced by recombinant Bacillus anthracis protects against tetanus toxin.
Bacillus anthracis, the causal agent of anthrax, synthesizes two surface layer (S-layer) proteins, EA1 and Sap, which account for 5 to 10% of total protein and are expressed in vivo. A recombinant B. anthracis strain was constructed by integrating into the chromosome a translational fusion harboring the DNA fragments encoding the cell wall-targeting domain of the S-layer protein EA1 and tetanus...
