task currently important.
Regulation of nanoparticles.
Size : 10~100nm (EPR effect)
Coating PEG polymer
Why nanoparticles?
1) It can deliver a larger quantity of drugs with better safety.
2) Easy to attach targeting ligands.
3) It is enough size to deliver multi-drugs.
4) Can regulate releasing of drug particles.
5) Can avoid multidrug resistance through cell-surface protein pump.
for treatment, we need enhanced drug delivery system. Drug delivery system of these days is just eat and let it flow through the body. It is not good at efficiency. Because the digestive system sometimes digest and remove the drug before it reaches to the target.
For enhancing the efficiency of drug delivery system, we can use nanotechnology, especially nanoparticles that can carry the drug mo
drugs are accumulated.
3. Problem and things to be advanced
We cover the meaning of cancer targeting, and how to target cancer. Nowadays, there are many not only drugs but also treatments for cancer treatment, but they have some problems.
1. Chemical-based Anticancer drugs
These chemical-based drugs are systemic drug. Therefore, normal cells are also regarded as cancer cells and beco
*’Nano’ means….
Nanometer: one billionth of a meter
Nano-: prefix comes from the Greek word for ‘dwarf’
Chemical, physical, and biological properties that differ from those of their larger, or bulk counterparts
Nanotechnology: The National Nanotechnology Initiative(NNI)-> the science of materials and phenomena in the range of 1 to 100nm in diameter
*Features of ‘nanoparticles
