Site-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems: Polymeric Carriers

Site-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems: Polymeric Carriers

Polymeric carriers enhance targeted drug delivery by increasing efficacy while minimizing off-target effects. These carriers comprise a biodegradable polymeric backbone integrated with functional elements that enable targeting, improve physicochemical properties, and regulate drug release.Targeting MechanismsThe targeting ability of polymeric carriers is mediated by a homing device, which is a molecular recognition component designed to selectively bind to specific tissues or cells. Monoclonal...

Antiplatelet Drugs: Prostaglandin Synthesis, P2Y12 and Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors

Antiplatelet drugs emerge as frontline defenders against the insidious threat of thromboembolic diseases, where abnormal clots obstruct vital blood vessels. These drugs stand as bulwarks, inhibiting platelet aggregation and clot formation, thereby mitigating the risk of life-threatening conditions like myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and thrombotic strokes.
Prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors, exemplified by the widely known aspirin, wield their power by irreversibly acetylating...

To explore the potential of modular polymerization strategies for developing advanced functional biomaterials.

Main Methods:

Utilized a modular ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) approach.
Synthesized random copolymers incorporating RGD peptide, rhodamine B, and PEG-modified norbornene monomers.
Assessed anti-thrombotic activity and in vivo bioavailability of the resulting polynorbornenes.

Main Results:

Successfully constructed a tri-component random copolymer via ROMP.
Demonstrated significant enhancement in anti-thrombotic efficacy compared to controls.
Observed improved bioavailability of the copolymer in vivo.
Confirmed the imaging capability of the rhodamine B-containing polymer.

Conclusions:
