Abstract:Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) represent a potentially powerful approach to the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS). However, dose-limiting toxicity, therapeutic efficacy, and targeting specificity are significant barriers to the use of TKIs in the clinic. Notably among TKIs, ponatinib demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity; however, it received an FDA black box warning for potential side effects. We propose ponatinib-loaded biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) to repurpose ponatinib as an efficient th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
