Biotin decorated PLGA nanoparticles containing SN-38 designed for cancer therapy

Abstract: Active targeted chemotherapy is expected to provide more specific delivery of cytotoxic drugs to the tumor cells and hence reducing the side effects on healthy tissues. Due to the over expression of biotin receptors on cancerous cells as a result of further requirement for rapid proliferations, biotin can be a good candidate as a targeting agent. In this study, biotin decorated PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) containing SN-38 were prepared and in vitro studies were evaluated for their improved anti-cancer properties.… Show more

“…Given that localized presentation of SA-FasL on islets supported long-term function on the scaffold, we subsequently investigated the immobilization of SA-FasL to the scaffold as a means to minimize the cellular manipulation prior to transplantation. Biotin decorated PLG particles have been reported for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells [48]. Manipulating the scaffold to present SA-FasL would eliminate the steps needed for direct islet engineering, and as such save time and overcome potential undesired effects associated with engineering process, such as cell fragmentation.…”

“…Hence, the cation number indicates a positive correlation with the gene transfer rate [ 29 ]. Concomitantly, biotin can couple with nanoparticles and facilitate their transfer to the cells in the presence of the targeting gene, which is considered a safe and effective targeting gene transfection method [ 30 ]. This occurs due to the binding effect of biotin with the corresponding biotin receptor on the cell surface.…”

“…In the same way, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) was successfully loaded into PLGA-PEG-biotin NPs to treat breast cancer. Compared to non-biotin conjugated NPs, these conjugated NPs increased the in vivo antitumor drug efficacy [125,126].…”
