Popis: The robust proliferation of tumors relies on a rich neovasculature for nutrient supplies. Therefore, a basic strategy of tumor targeting therapy should include not only killing regular cancer cells but also blocking tumor neovasculature. D-peptide DA7R, which was previously reported to specifically bind vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), could achieve the goal of multitarget recognition. Accordingly, the main purposes of this work were to establish a carfilzomib-loaded lipid nanodisk modified with multifunctional peptide DA7R (DA7R-ND/CFZ) and to evaluate its anti-glioblastoma efficacy in vitro and in vivo. It is testified that the DA7R peptide-conjugated lipid nanodisk can be specifically taken up by U87MG cells and HUVECs. Furthermore, DA7R-ND demonstrated a more enhanced penetration than that of the nonmodified formulation on the tumor spheroid model in vitro and more tumor region accumulation in vivo on the subcutaneous and intracranial tumor-bearing nude ...
