Establishment of Protein Delivery Systems Targeting Podocytes
BACKGROUND Podocytes are uniquely structured cells that are critical to the kidney filtration barrier. Their anatomic location on the outer side of the glomerular capillaries expose podocytes to large quantities of both plasma and urinary components and thus are reachable for drug delivery. Recent years have made clear that interference with podocyte-specific disease pathways can modulate glome...
متن کاملDopamine-conjugated apoferritin protein nanocage for the dual-targeting delivery of epirubicin
Objective(s): Nanocarriers are drug delivery vehicles, which have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years, particularly in cancer treatment. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs using protein nanocages is considered to be an optimal approach to reducing drug side-effects and increasing the bioavailability of anticancer drugs. Epirubicin (EPR) is an active chemotherapeutic medica...
متن کاملTargeting of Synthetic Gene Delivery Systems
Safe, efficient, and specific delivery of therapeutic genes remains an important bottleneck for the development of gene therapy. Synthetic, nonviral systems have a unique pharmaceutical profile with potential advantages for certain applications. Targeting of the synthetic vector improves the specificity of gene medicines through a modulation of the carriers' biodistribution, thus creating a dos...
متن کاملProtein Delivery Systems
More effective and tailored drug delivery systems (DDS) are continuously investigated, tested, and, eventually, marketed. In the last 30 yr, the pharmaceutical industry has made substantial steps in this direction. Drug products containing proteins and peptides, as therapeutic agents, are a perfect example of these two intimately correlated aspects: route of administration and quality of life. ...
متن کاملStimuli-sensitive protein delivery systems
The development of stimuli-sensitive release systems for protein and peptide delivery has been a subject of significant pharmaceutical importance in recent years, especially in relation to the possible development of intelligent delivery systems. In this review we concentrate on biological and chemical characteristics of these systems and we identify important guidelines as well as unsolved pro...
