Because angiogenesis is a major contributor to cancer progression and metastasis, it is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Although a diverse number of small compounds for anti-angiogenic therapy have been developed, severe adverse effects commonly occur, since small compounds can affect not only tumor endothelial cells (TECs), but also normal endothelial cells. This low selectivity for TECs has motivated researchers to develop alternate types of drug delivery systems (DDSs). In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge concerning the delivery of nano DDSs to TECs. Their payloads range from small compounds to nucleic acids. Perspectives regarding new therapeutic targets are also mentioned.
由于血管生成是癌症进展和转移的主要贡献者,因此它是癌症治疗的一个有吸引力的靶点。尽管已经开发出了许多用于抗血管生成治疗的小分子化合物,但严重的不良反应通常会发生,因为小分子化合物不仅可以影响肿瘤内皮细胞(TECs),还可以影响正常内皮细胞。这种对 TECs 的低选择性促使研究人员开发出替代类型的药物递送系统(DDS)。在这篇综述中,我们总结了目前关于将纳米 DDS 递送到 TEC 的知识状态。它们的有效载荷范围从小分子化合物到核酸。还提到了关于新治疗靶点的观点。
