Abstract: Compositions and methods for therapeutic delivery are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to nanoparticle compositions that sequester the activity of a target molecule while leaving other domains accessible to bind targeted tissues of interest. Methods for thrombus dissolution include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can dissolve a blood clot. Compositions and methods for inducing blood clotting are also disclosed. Methods for inducing blood clotting include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can induce the formation of a blood clot. Methods for sequestering a target molecule are also disclosed. The method includes reversibly coupling a target molecule to a nanoparticle having an affinity ligand that reversibly couples the target molecule, and thus, sequesters the target molecule activity until the target molecule interacts with its substrate resulting in the release of the target molecule.

Abstract: A method of crosslinking a hetero-bifunctional photo crosslinking compound to an immunoglobulin having at least one heterocyclic photo reactive group and at least one non-photo reactive group where the non-photo reactive group is coupled to an effector molecule and the photo reactive group is coupled to the nucleotide binding site of an immunoglobulin. Alternatively, the photo crosslinker contains an orthogonal reactive group such as a thiol, which can be coupled to an effector molecule or functionalized ligand.

Abstract: The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and method of using the compositions, wherein the compositions comprise liposomes or micelles that contain one or more targeting peptides and/or anticancer drugs. In various embodiments, the components of the liposomes can include a) a phospholipid and optionally a lipid that is not a phospholipid; b) a pegylated lipid; c) a peptide-ethylene glycol (EG)-lipid conjugate wherein the peptide is a targeting ligand, and d) one or more drug-conjugated lipid, encapsulated drugs, or a combination thereof. The peptide-EG-lipid conjugate can be, for example, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II). The ethylene glycol (EG) segments of the peptide-EG-lipid conjugate can be, for example, EG6 to about EG36; and the EG segment can be conjugated to one or more lysine moieties.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and compositions for nanoparticle-based drug delivery to target cells or tissues. A drug delivery system may include a nanoparticle with a targeting component and a therapeutic component. The nanoparticle may have a predetermined number or valence of targeting molecules for multivalent interaction with a target cell or tissue. Binding of the targeting molecules to the target cell may result in receptor-mediated uptake of the nanoparticle by the target cell. The therapeutic component may be subsequently released within an endocytic vesicle of the target cell. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems as described herein may provide improved efficacy and/or reduced toxicity.
