摘要:
The present invention provides systems, methods, and compositions for targeted delivery of a therapeutic agent organs, tissues, cells, extracellular matrix components, and intracellular compartments. The present invention provides a complex comprising a therapeutic or diagnostic agent and a nucleic acid targeting moiety, wherein the agent non-covalently associates with base pairs of the nucleic acid targeting moiety. The invention provides targeted particles comprising a particle and an inventive complex. The present invention provides methods of designing, manufacturing, and using inventive complexes and targeted particles.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a conjugate that includes a nucleic acid ligand bound to a controlled release polymer system, a pharmaceutical composition that contains the conjugate, and methods of treatment using the conjugate. The controlled release polymer system includes an agent such as a therapeutic, diagnostic, prognostic, or prophylactic agent. The nucleic acid ligand that is bound to the controlled release polymer system, binds selectively to a target, such as a cell surface antigen, and thereby delivers the controlled release polymer system to the target.
摘要:
A composition for delivering an active agent to a patient. The composition includes a polymer core encapsulating the active agent and a mucoadhesive coating disposed about the core. The polymer may include covalently linked poly(ethylene glycol) chains, and the mucoadhesive coating may be selected to facilitate transfer of the particle through the intestinal mucosa. A molecular weight and cross-link density of the polymer may be selected such that the polymer core will decompose in a predetermined time interval. The fraction of the dose of the drug entering the system at circulation during the predetermined time interval may be between about 0.25% and about 25%. The composition may be formulated as a plurality of nanoparticles or microparticles that are combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to produce an edible or inhalable drug product.
