INTRACELLULAR DELIVERY AND MITOCHONDRIAL TARGETING BY FLUORINATION

摘要

In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a targeting platform that includes a targeted delivery system including an agent. In some embodiments, the targeted delivery system is modified by fluorination. In some embodiments, the targeted delivery system is electrically charge neutral. In a further embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes fluorinating a targeting compound with a fluorinating reagent and loading an agent with the fluorinated targeting compound to thereby form a micelle. In an additional embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a targeting platform that includes a fluorinated polymeric system including an agent. In another embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes fluorinating a targeting compound with a fluorinating reagent and loading an agent with the fluorinated targeting compound to thereby form a micelle. Additionally, the method can include administering the fluorinated targeting compound to a subject.
