Mitochondrial-targeted penetrating peptide delivery for cancer therapy.
Jiao WuJason LiHu WangChang-Bai LiuPublished in: Expert opinion on drug delivery (2018)
Therapeutic selectivity that preferentially targets the mitochondrial abnormalities in cancer cells without toxic impact on normal cells still need to be deepen. Moreover, it needs appropriate study designs for a correct evaluation of the target delivery outcome and the degradation rate of the drug in the cell. Generally, it is optimistic that the advances in mitochondrial targeting drug delivery by MPPs plasticity outlined here will ultimately help to the discovery of new approaches for the prevention and treatment of cancers.
