  • IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLE FOR SUPPRESSING DRUG-RESISTANT GENE FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLIOBLASTOMA
    Publication number: 20230405145
    Abstract: A nanoparticle for targeted siRNA delivery comprising an iron oxide core and a chitosan-polyethylene glycol-polyethylenimine copolymer coating surrounding the core, chlorotoxin covalently coupled to the coating, and an siRNA reversibly associated to the coating by non-covalent interaction. Methods for making the nanoparticle and methods for using the nanoparticle to suppress the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), treating brain cancer, and killing cancer stem cells.

  • OXYGEN REACTIVE POLYMERS FOR TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
    Publication number: 20220152091
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating traumatic brain injury. The methods and compositions utilize a multi-functional oxygen reactive polymer (ORP) that includes repeating units that include a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging group and a polyalkylene oxide group. For theranostic applications, the oxygen reactive polymer further includes a diagnostic group.
