  • Patent number: 12161700
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a drug carrier, a brain-targeting nanodrug based on CRISPR gene editing technology and a preparation method and use thereof. The nanodrug contains nanoparticles prepared by coupling Cas9/sgRNA and drug carriers. The drug carrier includes a polymer mPEG-P (GPMA, FPMA) and a polymer Ang-PEG-PGPMA, wherein a structural formula of the mPEG-P (GPMA, FPMA) is: a structural formula of the polymer Ang-PEG-PGPMA is: where n is 35-45, x1 is 15-20, y is 2-4, m is 75-85, and x2=x1. The guanidino group of the drug carrier can be combined with the ribonucleoprotein complex by electrostatic action, salt bridge formation, or hydrogen bonding action. Also provided are methods of suppressing and treating tumors at a gene level using the drug carrier to transport the therapeutic drug to the lesion site.
