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 کاملFolic acid-conjugated amphiphilic alternating copolymer as a new active tumor targeting drug delivery platform
Targeted drug delivery using polymeric nanostructures is an emerging cancer research area, engineered for safer, more efficient, and effective use of chemotherapeutic drugs. A pH-responsive, active targeting delivery system was designed using folic acid functionalized amphiphilic alternating copolymer poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (FA-DABA-SMA) via a biodegradable linker 2,4-diaminobutyric...
متن کاملTargeting : New Potential Carriers for Targetted Drug Delivery System
At present 95 percent of all new potential therapeutics have poor pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutical properties. Hence there is need to develop a suitable drug system that distributes the therapeutically active drug molecule only to site of action, without affecting healthy tissue or organ. Drug delivered can have significant effect on its efficacy. Some drugs have an optimum concentration r...
