Abstract
In recent years, personalized medicine has emerged as a key approach to potentially treat numerous diseases, in particular cancer. Within this field, nanotechnology has arisen as a promising tool with multiple biomedical applications, and organic nanoparticles stand out due to their improved translational prospects, primarily attributed to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this context, sphingomyelin nanoemulsions (SNs) are promising carriers for the delivery of innovative therapeutics and the advancement of novel anticancer therapeutics. Herein, we aimed to develop a new and novel type of biocompatible and biodegradable self-illuminating (SI) nanosystems for the treatment of pancreatic cancer by photodynamic therapy (PDT), upon association of the bioluminescent protein RLuc8 to SNs, and encapsulation of the photosensitizer Rose Bengal (SI-SNs). We present here a deep characterization of the developed SI-SNs and a first in vitro and in vivo proof of concept, highlighting the potential of this strategy for the development of innovative nanotherapeutics for pancreatic cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Controlled Release (JCR) proudly serves as the Official Journal of the Controlled Release Society and the Japan Society of Drug Delivery System.
Dedicated to the broad field of delivery science and technology, JCR publishes high-quality research articles covering drug delivery systems and all facets of formulations. This includes the physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, design and characterization of dosage forms, release mechanisms, in vivo testing, and formulation research and development across pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural, environmental, cosmetic, and food industries.
Priority is given to manuscripts that contribute to the fundamental understanding of principles or demonstrate the advantages of novel technologies in terms of safety and efficacy over current clinical standards. JCR strives to be a leading platform for advancements in delivery science and technology.
