Rational Design of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Copolymer-Mixed Micelle in Combination PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint Blockade for Enhanced Chemo-Immunotherapy of Melanoma.

The application of combinational therapy breaks the limitation of monotherapy and achieves better clinical benefit for tumor therapy. Herein, a hyaluronic acid/Pluronic F68-based copolymer-mixed micelle was constructed for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutical agent docetaxel (PHDM) in combination with programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1) antibody. When PHDM+anti-PDL1 was injected into the blood system, PHDM could accumulate into tumor sites and target tumor cells CD44-mediated endocytosis and possess tumor chemotherapy.

Development and characteristics of novel sonosensitive liposomes for vincristine bitartrate.

The aim of drug delivery is to increase therapeutic efficacy. Externally triggered drug delivery systems enable site-specific and time-controlled drug release. To achieve this goal, our strategy was based on ultrasound-triggered release of an anticancer agent from sonosensitive liposomes (SL).

Novel Class of Ultrasound-Triggerable Drug Delivery Systems for the Improved Treatment of Tumors.

The controlled release of anticancer drugs at the tumor site is a central challenge in treating cancer. To achieve this goal, our strategy was based on tumor-specific targeting and ultrasound-triggered release of an anticancer agent from liposomal nanocarriers. To enhance the ultrasound-triggered drug release, we incorporated a lipophilic sonosensitizer, chlorin e6 (Ce6) ester, into the lipid bilayer of liposomes.
