Targeted tumor imaging and efficient specific gene delivery in vivo has been one of the main challenges in gene-based cancer diagnosis and therapy. Herein, we engineered a citric acid-based polymer with intrinsical photoluminescence and gene loading capacity to achieve targeted delivery of siRNA and
Physiochemical changes, including size, are known to affect gold nanoparticle cellular internalization and treatment efficacy. Here, we report the effect of four sizes of cystine/citric acid-coated confeito-like gold nanoparticles (confeito-AuNPs) (30, 60, 80 and 100nm) on cellular uptake,
Denderimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles are a promising drug delivery nanosystem which can improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and can also be beneficial as magnetic resonance (MR) images contrast agent. The present study introduces the preparation and characterization of the
Development of folate (FA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has greatly increased in recent years due to their potential in cancer treatment. As surface functionalization of polymer-free AuNPs with thiol groups could result in agglomeration and precipitation, AuNPs should be stabilized with
Magnetic hyperthermia, in which magnetic nanoparticles are introduced into tumors and exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), appears to be promising since it can lead to increased life expectancy in patients. Its efficacy can be further improved by using biocompatible iron oxide magnetosome
To elucidate the origin of increased concentrations of alpha-ketoglutarate (KG) in tumor bearers the tissue distribution of KG together with the related metabolites citrate, succinate, malate, and glutamate was determined in tumor, liver, gastrocnemius muscle, and blood of rats bearing the solid
A cisplatin-loaded nanoconjugate, poly(γ, L-glutamic acid)-citric acid-cisplatin [γ-PGA-CA-CDDP], as a tumor-targeted drug delivery system with sustained release capacity was successfully synthesized and characterized, and its antitumor activity was evaluated. The particle size (107 ± 6.3 nm) and
Metabolic reprogramming is a characteristic of tumor cells and is considered a potential therapeutic target. Even under aerobic conditions, tumor cells use glycolysis to produce energy, a phenomenon called the "Warburg effect". Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) is a key Treatment of cancer has been limited by the poor efficacy and toxicity profiles of available drugs. There is a growing demand to develop alternative approaches to combat cancer such as use of nano-formulation-based drugs. Here, we report biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles
A 40-year-old female presented with history of swelling at the upper and middle of the left leg since 6 months was confirmed as post cancer surgery non healing wound not responding to conventional antibiotic therapy and local wound care in an operated case of synovial sarcoma of the knee, monophasic
The present study evaluates the in-vitro cisplatin (CDDP) release from four different poly oxalates cross-linked chitosan (CS) nanocomposites. The poly oxalates were synthesized from the reaction of four different dicarboxylic acids with ethylene glycol (EG). The encapsulation of CDDP on CS
Engineering of a physiologically compatible, stable and targetable SPIONs-CA-FA formulation was reported. Initially fabricated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were coated with citric acid (CA) to hamper agglomeration as well as to ameliorate biocompatibility. Folic acid (FA) as a
In the development of advanced photothermal therapy (PTT), there is an unmet demand for constructing novel multifunctional agent for efficient cancer therapy in a synergic manner. In this study, a system based on gelatin-stabilized Prussian blue nanoparticles with conjugated doxorubicin (PB@Gel-DOX
The purpose of the study was to develop tumor specific, water dispersible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and evaluate their efficacy as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have developed SPIONs capped with citric acid/2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid which are
BACKGROUND
The Ehrlich Ascitic Carcinoma (EAC) is an experimental transplantable neoplasm that develops in several species of mice. The maintenance of the tumor occurs in vivo. Thus, freezing the cells would reduce the number of passages between animals, ensuring genetic stability and storage for
