Abstract: The present disclosure describes an injectable aqueous dispersion, including an aqueous solvent, and a chemotherapeutic agent composition dispersed in the aqueous solvent to provide the injectable aqueous dispersion. The chemotherapeutic agent composition includes a combination of chemotherapeutic agents selected from: gemcitabine and paclitaxel; and venetoclax and zanubrutinib. The chemotherapeutic agent composition further includes one or more compatibilizers comprising a lipid (e.g., a lipid excipient), a lipid conjugate, or a combination thereof. The chemotherapeutic agents of the chemotherapeutic agent composition exhibit a synergistic chemotherapeutic effect.

Abstract: Multifunctional nanoparticle for targeted therapeutic drug delivery, comprising (a) an iron oxide core having silica-polyethylene glycol coupled thereto to provide an iron oxide coated core, (b) a cytotoxic agent reversibly associated with the coated core; (c) an immunomodulating agent reversibly associate with the coated core; and (d) a tumor targeting agent associated with the coated core. Methods for using the nanoparticle to treat cancers and methods for making the nanoparticle.
