Targeted Delivery to the Heart Endothelium
- 技术优势
- No other methods exist currently to deliver drugs or genes specifically to the heart endothelium
- 技术应用
- Targeted drug delivery vehicles Contrast agents for imaging
- 详细技术说明
- Ligand-targeted liposomes are increasingly being recognized as an effective strategy to deliver drugs to specific organs; however, few studies have quantified endothelial binding of targeted liposomes. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have discovered that embedding high concentrations of short, linear, arginine-terminated peptides into nanoparticles allows for concentrated binding of the particles selectively to heart endothelium and the vascular endothelium in the heart.
- *Abstract
-

Title: Methods and compounds for targeting tissues
Usefulness: Methods and compounds for targeting tissues
Summary: The composition is useful for delivering therapeutic agent e.g. amnioterone or digoxin, or imaging agent e.g. radiolabel, such as [ 18 F], [ 18 F]FDP or 64Cu, preferably [ 18 F]FDP or dye to a cell e.g. mammalian cell, human cell, cardiac cell, endothelial cell, cardiac endothelial cell, human coronary artery endothelial cell (HCAEC), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), brain cell or cancer cell, preferably cardiac endothelial cell for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging by administering the composition (all claimed), and for treating and/or diagnosing diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.
Novelty: Composition for delivering compound e.g. therapeutic agent or imaging agent to cell e.g. human cell for diagnosing or treating diseases e.g. cardiovascular disease, comprises peptide, particle for carrying compound, and linking molecule
