Biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)/poly(L-γ-glutamic acid) nanoparticles conjugated to folic acid for targeted delivery of doxorubicin

Abstract: A novel targeted drug delivery nanoparticle system based on poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) for delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) was developed. DOX-PLGA NPs were obtained by the emulsification-solvent evaporation technique. Then, their surface was modified with poly(L-γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) and finally conjugated to modified folic acid (FA) as a targeting ligand. The surface modification and FA conjugation were followed by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopies. Morphology was observed by TEM/SEM. Particle … Show more

“…Poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA), a natural biopolymer that is water-soluble, non-toxic, edible and biodegradable 21,22 has shown potential in tissue engineering. The structure of the polymer containing a large number of carboxyl groups 23 can load drugs 21 and has strong hydrophilicity, 24 so it can improve the hydrophobicity and SOD loading of the hydrogels. Zhuang et al 25 prepared a poly(γ-glutamic acid)-based hydrogel loaded with superoxide dismutase (SOD) to accelerate wound healing.…”

“…Additionally, particles with a higher size are easily recognized by the mononuclear phagocyte system, as they are removed from the body before they can perform their designed therapeutic function [ 36 ]. In this sense, it is desirable that nanoparticles aimed to be used as drug delivery systems present a size lower than 600 nm [ 37 , 38 ].…”
