Cancer

1. Cancer • Historically agents given systemically • Agents that kill rapidly dividing cells • Find therapeutic dose  Kills tumor cells w/o killing patient • Lots of side effects • Localized/targeted delivery is the holy grail • Nanomedicine!! • Also protection from degradation and increased solubility

3. Nanoparticles – drug throughout • Nanocapsules – drug w/in coating • PEGylation – makes stealthy • Ligand – binds to cell receptor for targeting

4. Tumor Vasculature • Irregularly shaped, big, and leaky • Lack of lymph drainage • High vessel density

5. Passive Targeting  EPR • Small drugs enter tumor and leave • Particles enter and stay • Long circulation time key

6. Active Targeting • EPR + something that binds tumor cells specifically

7. Targeting depends upon over-expression of surface molecules by tumor cells  Interfere with signaling when bind (targeting ligand and drug)  Ab tethered to drug  Ligand + drug
