Sulfonated Polyethylenimine for Photosensitizer Conjugation and Targeting.
Polysulfonated macromolecules are known to bind selectins, adhesion membrane proteins which are broadly implicated in inflammation. Commercially available branched polyethylenimine (PEI) was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to generate sulfonated PEI with varying degrees of sulfonation. Remaining unreacted amine groups were then used for straightforward conjugation with pyropheophoribide-a, a n...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated targeting of a photosensitizer by its conjugation to gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues.
Photodynamic therapy uses a combination of light, oxygen, and a photosensitizer to induce the death of malignant cells. To improve the selectivity of a photosensitizer toward cancerous cells that express gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was conjugated to a GnRH agonist, [d-Lys6]GnRH, or to a GnRH antagonist, [d-pGlu1, d-Phe2, d-Trp3, d-Lys6]GnRH. The con...
متن کاملReceptor-Targeting Phthalocyanine Photosensitizer for Improving Antitumor Photocytotoxicity
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality which uses a photosensitizer to capture visible light resulting in phototoxicity in the irradiated region. PDT has been used in a number of pathological indications, including tumor. A key desirable feature of the photosensitizer is the high phototoxicity on tumor cells but not on normal cells. In this study, we conjugate a gonadotr...
متن کاملAntibody conjugation methods for active targeting of liposomes.
Liposomes are useful drug delivery vehicles since they may protect encapsulated drugs from enzymatic degradation and rapid clearance in vivo, or alter biodistribution, potentially leading to reduced toxicities (1,2). A major limitation to the development of many specialized applications is the problem of directing liposomes to tissues where they would not normally accumulate. Consequently, a gr...
متن کاملProgrammed photosensitizer conjugated supramolecular nanocarriers with dual targeting ability for enhanced photodynamic therapy.
A programmed supramolecular nanocarrier was developed for multistage targeted photodynamic therapy. This smart nanocarrier exhibited enhanced cellular uptake and controlled mitochondria targeting, as well as an excellent photodynamic therapeutic effect after light irradiation.
