Aptamer-based targeted drug delivery and disease therapy in preclinical and clinical applications
The advent of precision medicine has created an urgent need for advanced drug-targeting strategies and refined drug delivery systems. Aptamers, characterized by their exceptional affinity and specificity, low molecular weight, negligible immunogenicity, remarkable stability, cost-effectiveness, and structural versatility, are emerging as promising candidates in targeted therapeutics, both in preclinical research and clinical applications. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in aptamer-based therapeutic strategies, encompassing three key application domains: direct therapeutic agents, targeted ligand engineering, and controlled drug release. We will summarize the preclinical applications of aptamers for various disease therapies, including eye disorders, cancers, coagulation, and inflammation. Particular emphasis is placed on emerging clinical-stage aptamer therapeutics undergoing rigorous evaluation for these diseases. Furthermore, we will discuss the potential challenges and unlimited opportunities for the clinical transformation and commercialization of aptamers.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for the critical analysis of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their applications in human and veterinary medicine. The Journal has a broad scope, covering the key issues for effective drug and gene delivery, from administration to site-specific delivery.
In general, the Journal publishes review articles in a Theme Issue format. Each Theme Issue provides a comprehensive and critical examination of current and emerging research on the design and development of advanced drug and gene delivery systems and their application to experimental and clinical therapeutics. The goal is to illustrate the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary approach to modern drug delivery, encompassing the application of sound biological and physicochemical principles to the engineering of drug delivery systems to meet the therapeutic need at hand. Importantly the Editorial Team of ADDR asks that the authors effectively window the extensive volume of literature, pick the important contributions and explain their importance, produce a forward looking identification of the challenges facing the field and produce a Conclusions section with expert recommendations to address the issues.
