Targeted Delivery of Nanomedicines
The role of targeting of the diseased region by a drug is emphasized. The rationale for resorting to nanomaterials as drug carriers is explained. A clear understanding of the biological environment, its degradation in diseased condition, and the interaction of the drug with it in normal condition and during illness lie at the core of successful drug delivery. Passive and active drug targeting a...
متن کامل‘Nanotrain’ for targeted drug transport of cancer theranostics
ISSN 1743-5889 10.2217/NNM.13.130 © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd Nanomedicine (2013) 8(9), 1369–1371 1369 Chemotherapy drugs lack specificity and induce cytotoxicity in both cancerous and healthy cells, resulting in limited maximum tolerated doses and reduced therapeutic efficacy. Studies have shown the use of aptamers as specific recognition elements for targeted transport of chemotherapeutic drug...
متن کاملRNAi-based nanomedicines for targeted personalized therapy.
RNA interference (RNAi) has just made it through the pipeline to clinical trials. However, in order for RNAi to serve as an ideal personalized therapeutics and be clinically approved-safe, specific, and potent strategies must be devised for efficient delivery of RNAi payloads to specific cell types, which despite the immense potential, remains a challenge. Through evaluating the recent reported...
متن کاملKilling cancer cells by targeted drug-carrying phage nanomedicines
BACKGROUND Systemic administration of chemotherapeutic agents, in addition to its anti-tumor benefits, results in indiscriminate drug distribution and severe toxicity. This shortcoming may be overcome by targeted drug-carrying platforms that ferry the drug to the tumor site while limiting exposure to non-target tissues and organs. RESULTS We present a new form of targeted anti-cancer therapy ...
متن کاملSystemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
