Abstract:
An easily self-assembled and gelated octa-peptide FHFDFHFD was chosen as a novel drug delivery system (DDS) for both tanshinone IIA and total tanshinone extract. The DDS showed increased loading capacity, sustained drug release and better anticancer capability. Our research proved that a hydrogel DDS of other traditional Chinese medicines is possible.
