Advances of polypeptide fragment of rabiesvirus glycoprotein as a brain-targeting carrier / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Polypeptide fragment of rabies virus glycoprotein(RVG)has become one of the most popular polypeptides in drug delivery field,because of its advantages of neurotropiam,penetration of blood-brain barrier and biosafety.Polypeptide fragment of RVG can directly deliver proteins and nucleic acids into brain.Additionally,when polypeptide fragment of RVG couples with drug-loading polymers,nanoparticles or liposomes,it can mediate the latters into brain.The application of the RVG polypeptide fragment provides a safe and effective approach for the treatment of brain diseases with biomolecules,such as chemicals,proteins.plasmids,siRNA,miRNA.
