  • Publication number: 20230109491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a drug delivery system with a micelle structure comprising a PEG2000-DSPE polymerized lipid and an APTEDB-PEG2000-DSPE polymer, and a preparation method thereof. The drug delivery system targets extra-domain B of fibronectin (EDB-FN), which is overexpressed in a brain tumor, and can pass through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or the blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB) to deliver a drug specifically to the brain tumor cells. In addition, the present invention can provide a pharmaceutical composition for diagnosing or treating a brain tumor, comprising the drug-loaded drug delivery system as an active ingredient. The composition can be accumulated inside the brain tumor and incorporated into the tumor cells to specifically inhibit tumor growth, and thus can be efficiently utilized for diagnosing or treating a brain tumor.

  • Patent number: 9393308
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a nanopreparation having a micelle structure for diagnosis or treatment of cancer diseases, and a method of preparing the same, and more particularly, a nanopreparation having a micelle structure available for diagonosis or treatment of cancer diseases and a method for preparing the same, wherein the nanopreparation is prepared by encapsulating a photosensitizer by forming micelle with polymeric lipid DSPE-mPEG. The nanopreparation having the micelle structure according to the present invention has a size of 12 nm or less by encapsulating hypericin, which is a photosensitizer, by forming micelle with polymeric lipid DSPE-mPEG having a molecular weight of 1500 to 2500. Resultingly, the nanopreparation easily overcomes a blood-tumor barrier (BTB) and an interstitial fluid pressure and has light induced cytotoxicity efficiency that is about more than 2.5 times higher than that of the case where hypericin is used alone.
