Amplification of folate-mediated targeting to tumor cells using polymers

摘要

The invention relates to the delivery of drug, peptide and protein pharmaceuticals using the folate-mediated uptake system. More particularly the invention relates to the amplification of drug/pharmaceutical delivery with the folate uptake system using a folate-nanoparticle complex. The invention also relates to processes for preparing the complexes, pharmaceutical compositions containing same, methods of treatment involving the complexes and uses of the complexes in the manufacture of medicaments.
