Nucleoside transporter-guided cytarabine-conjugated liposomes for intracellular methotrexate delivery and cooperative choriocarcinoma therapy

Anti-EphA10 antibody-conjugated pH-sensitive liposomes for specific intracellular delivery of siRNA

Therapeutic delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a major challenge that limits its potential clinical application. Here, a pH-sensitive cholesterol-Schiff base-polyethylene glycol (Chol-SIB-PEG)-modified cationic liposome-siRNA complex, conjugated with the recombinant humanized anti-EphA10 antibody (Eph), was developed as an efficient nonviral siRNA delivery system. Chol-SIB-PEG was suc...

Liposomes: Clinical Applications and Potential for Image-Guided Drug Delivery.

Liposomes have been extensively studied and are used in the treatment of several diseases. Liposomes improve the therapeutic efficacy by enhancing drug absorption while avoiding or minimizing rapid degradation and side effects, prolonging the biological half-life and reducing toxicity. The unique feature of liposomes is that they are biocompatible and biodegradable lipids, and are inert and non...

Controlled delivery of methotrexate from channel-protein containing liposomes.

Doxorubicin-Conjugated Immuno-Nanoparticles for Intracellular Anticancer Drug Delivery

A polymeric nanoparticle comprised of surface furan groups is used to bind, by Diels–Alder (DA) coupling chemistry, both targeting anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (anti-HER2) antibodies and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) for targeted, intracellular delivery of DOX. In this new approach for delivery, where both chemotherapeutic and targeting ligand are attached, for the first t...

Hyper-CVAD and High-Dose Methotrexate/Cytarabine

Purpose: Diffuse and nodular forms of mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) are consistently associated with poor prognosis. In an effort to improve the outcome, we adopted a treatment plan that consisted of four courses of fractionated cyclophosphamide (CY) 1,800 mg/m 2 administered with doxorubicin (DOX), vincristine (VCR), and dexamethasone (Hyper-CVAD) that alternated with high-dose methotrexate (MTX)...
