RESUMO
Traditional chemotherapy exhibits a certain therapeutic effect toward malignant cancer, but easily induce tumor multidrug resistance (MDR), thereby resulting in the progress of tumor recurrence or metastasis. In this work, we deigned ternary hybrid nanodrugs (PEI/DOX@CXB-NPs) to simultaneously combat against tumor MDR and metastasis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To review the progress on materials with lysosomal escape function. METHODS: Based on the original researches in recent years, the structure properties and escape mechanism of materials with lysosomal escape function were introduced in the present paper. RESULTS: The materials which can help the drug/gene to get out of the lysosomes were summarized and classified into two groups in the accordance with their escape mechanism: breaking the lysosomes by raising the osmotic pressure or destabilizing the membrane structure of lysosomes. CONCLUSION: The materials with lysosomal escape function, as a novel drug delivery tool, has promising application for the delivery of drug/gene and need to be studied deeply before the materials get widely applied.
