A Library of Custom PEG-Lipids reveals a Double-PEG-Lipid with Drastically Enhanced Paclitaxel Solubility and Human Cancer Cell Cytotoxicity when used in Fluid Micellar Nanoparticles
2024-08-03
Abstract excerpt
Paclitaxel (PTX) is one of the most widely utilized chemotherapeutics globally. However, the extremely poor water solubility of paclitaxel necessitates a mechanism of delivery within blood. Fluid lipid PTX nanocarriers (lipids in the chain-melted state) show promise as PTX delivery vectors, but remain limited by their solubility of PTX within the membrane. To improve pharmacokinetics, membrane surfaces are typical...
