Folic acid-chitosan conjugated nanoparticles for improving tumor-targeted drug delivery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To prepare folic acid-chitosan conjugated nanoparticles (FA-CS NPs) and evaluate their targeting specificity on tumor cells. METHODS Chitosan (CS) NPs were prepared by ionic cross linking method, and folic acid (FA) was conjugated with CS NPs by electrostatic interaction. The properties of

Folic acid as a cancer-preventing agent.

Only registered users can translate articles

Higher intakes of folic acid-rich foods such as vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are associated with lower incidence of carcinomas in international comparisons and case-control studies. Deficiency of folic acid in experimental studies causes DNA damage that resembles the DNA damage seen in

Chemopreventive role of folic acid in colorectal cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mortality from colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death in the U.S.A. and other western countries, has remained unchanged over the past 45 years. Therefore, the search for strategies to prevent the development and progression of colorectal cancer has markedly intensified. Chemoprevention is one

Meta-analysis: folic acid in the chemoprevention of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Folic acid has been identified as a possible agent for the chemoprevention of colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of folic acid in reducing the recurrence of adenomas (precursors of colorectal cancer) among populations with a history of adenomas and the incidence of

Quantum dot-folic acid conjugates as potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy of cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study examined the in vitro potential of bioconjugated quantum dots (QDs) as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). According to our previous approaches using photosensitizers, folic acid appears to be an optimal targeting ligand for selective delivery of attached therapeutic agents

Folic acid and its metabolites modulate IGF-I receptor gene expression in colon cancer cells in a p53-dependent manner.

Only registered users can translate articles

The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) has an important role in colorectal cancer development and progression. IGF-IR displays a potent anti-apoptotic activity and is overexpressed in primary tumors and colon cancer-derived cell lines. Folic acid, a member of the vitamin B family, is a

Active targeting of cancer cells using folic acid-conjugated platinum nanoparticles.

Only registered users can translate articles

Interaction of nanoparticles with human cells is an interesting topic for understanding toxicity and developing potential drug candidates. Water soluble platinum nanoparticles were synthesized via reduction of hexachloroplatinic acid using sodium borohydride in the presence of capping agents. The

Active tumor targeting of nanomaterials using folic acid, transferrin and integrin receptors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Folic acid, transferrin and integrin alpha v beta 3 (αvβ3) receptors are overexpressed in various cancer cell lines. Ligands having high affinity for these receptors are often conjugated to nanocarriers to facilitate the tumor localization of therapeutic agents. In this review the use of these

A new 18F-labeled folic acid derivative with improved properties for the PET imaging of folate receptor-positive tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

The folate receptor is a proven target for folate-based diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Several folic acid conjugates have been developed as radiopharmaceuticals, but a suitable (18)F-labeled folic acid derivative for routine clinical use is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to

Synthesis of Hexagonal ZnO-PQ7 Nano Disks Conjugated with Folic Acid to Image MCF - 7 Cancer Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Surface modified ZnO nanomaterial is widely used in the field of bioimaging worldwide due to its optical properties, electronic characteristics and biocompatibility. Fluorescent enhanced, Polyquaternium-7(PQ7) capped, ZnO hexagonal nano disks (ZnO-PQ7) were synthesised by simple wet chemical method.

Soft structure formation and cancer cell transport mechanisms of a folic acid-dipeptide conjugate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Folic acid (FA) is a low-molecular-weight micronutrient, which plays a critical role in the prevention of birth defects and cancers. It is also essential for biochemical pathways responsible for DNA synthesis and maintenance and for the generation of new red blood cells. Cellular trafficking of FA

Facile Synthesis of Folic Acid-Modified Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Targeted MR Imaging in Pulmonary Tumor Xenografts.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to develop folic acid (FA)-modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) for targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of H460 lung carcinoma cells. Water-dispersible Fe3O4 NPs synthesized via a mild reduction method were conjugated with FA to generate FA-targeted

Targeting and Photodynamic Killing of Cancer Cell by Nitrogen-Doped Titanium Dioxide Coupled with Folic Acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) has attracted wide attention as a potential photosensitizer (PS) in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, bare TiO₂ can only be excited by ultraviolet illumination, and it lacks specific targeting ligands, which largely impede its application. In our study, we produced

Folic acid-targeted iron oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging of human ovarian cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Improved methods for the early and specific detection of ovarian cancer are needed. METHODS In this experimental study, we used folic acid (FA)-targeted iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) as a T2-negative contrast agent for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to accurately detect ovarian

An special epithelial staining agents: folic acid receptor-mediated diagnosis (FRD) effectively and conveniently screen patients with cervical cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

High-quality screening with cytology has markedly reduced mortality from cervical cancer. However, it needs experienced pathologists to review and make the final decisions. We have developed folic acid receptor-mediated diagnosis (FRD) kits to effectively and conveniently screen patients with
