Transferrin receptor-targeted theranostic gold nanoparticles for photosensitizer delivery in brain tumors.
Therapeutic drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is not only inefficient, but also nonspecific to brain stroma. These are major limitations in the effective treatment of brain cancer. Transferrin peptide (Tfpep) targeted gold nanoparticles (Tfpep-Au NPs) loaded with the photodynamic pro-drug, Pc 4, have been designed and compared with untargeted Au NPs for delivery of the photosen...
متن کاملMultifunctional MIL-S─CUR@FC nanoparticles: a targeted theranostic agent for magnetic resonance imaging and tumor targeted delivery of curcumin
Introduction: Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted drug delivery systems, usually referred to as theranostic agents, are being developed to enable detection, site-specific treatment, and long-term monitoring. Materials and Methods: To elucidate the effects of coating on cellular uptake and biodistribution of n...
متن کاملTheranostic nanoparticles.
Theranostic nanoparticles hold the potential to revolutionize disease management. Over the last decade, there has been growing interest in the engineering of various kinds of theranostic nanoparticles for simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy in small animals. Efficient targeting of theranostic nanoparticles to the tumor site is critical for both diagnosis and therapy. However, difficulties s...
متن کاملRethinking Brain Cancer Therapy: Tumor Enzyme Activatable Theranostic Nanoparticles
This invited commentary discusses a recent article by Mohanty et al in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics about significant therapeutic efficacies of novel theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) for the treatment of human brain cancers in mouse models. The TNPs were cleaved by enzymes in the tumor tissue, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-14), which lead to release of a highly potent therapeutic drug, azademe...
متن کاملNanoparticles for treating brain tumors: unlimited possibilities.
The use of nanoparticles to improve the distribution and extend the duration of exposure to therapy continues to be investigated and applied in cancer research and treatment, respectively, more than 30 years subsequent to the earliest publications involving its use in experimental tumor models in vivo. Nanoparticle packaging of therapy is of particular interest for its potential to treat brain ...
