چکیده
Paclitaxel dimer-based nanovesicles, with an ultrahigh drug content, have been prepared through a nanoprecipitation method. The as-formed nanovesicles exhibit improved paclitaxel solubility, prominent colloid stability, GSH-triggered disassembly, effective cellular uptake and comparable cytotoxicity to Taxol.

Endogenous lung surfactant inspired pH responsive nanovesicle aerosols: Pulmonary compatible and site-specific drug delivery in lung metastases
Concerns related to pulmonary toxicity and non-specificity of nanoparticles have limited their clinical applications for aerosol delivery of chemotherapeutics in lung cancer. We hypothesized that pulmonary surfactant mimetic nanoparticles that offer pH responsive release specifically in tumor may be a possible solution to overcome these issues. We therefore developed lung surfactant mimetic and...
متن کاملIndomethacin-based stimuli-responsive micelles combined with paclitaxel to overcome multidrug resistance
Development of multidrug resistance against antitumor agents is a major limiting factor for the successful chemotherapy. Currently, both amphiphilic polymeric micelles and chemosensitizers have been proposed to overcome MDR during chemotherapy. Herein, the redox-responsive polymeric micelles composed of dextran and indomethacin (as chemosensitizer) using a disulfide bond as the linker are prepa...
متن کاملMMP-9 Responsive PEG Cleavable Nanovesicles for Efficient Delivery of Chemotherapeutics to Pancreatic Cancer
Significant differences in biochemical parameters between normal and tumor tissues offer an opportunity to chemically design drug carriers which respond to these changes and deliver the drugs at the desired site. For example, overexpression of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) enzyme in the extracellular matrix of tumor tissues can act as a trigger to chemically modulate the drug delivery ...
متن کاملPaclitaxel-loaded phosphonated calixarene nanovesicles as a modular drug delivery platform
A modular p-phosphonated calix[4]arene vesicle (PCV) loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) and conjugated with folic acid as a cancer targeting ligand has been prepared using a thin film-sonication method. It has a pH-responsive capacity to trigger the release of the encapsulated PTX payload under mildly acidic conditions. PTX-loaded PCV conjugated with alkyne-modified PEG-folic acid ligands prepared vi...
متن کاملSilica nanoparticle-based dual-responsive nanoprodrug system for liver cancer therapy
A thiol-terminated polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-paclitaxel (PTX) conjugate was synthesized and utilized to construct a novel drug delivery system with thiol-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SLNs) to improve the overall performance of PTX in liver cancer therapy. Drug loading was performed by coating the PTX conjugate on the surface of SLNs. The PTX-PEG/SLNs showed a binary responsive drug relea...
