Popis: The development of therapeutics for effective treatments of retinal diseases is significantly constrained by various biological barriers. We herein report a nanomedicine strategy to develop nanotherapeutics featured with not only high retinal permeability but also sustained bioactive delivery. Specifically, the nanotherapeutics are rationally designed via aminolysis of resveratrol-encapsulated polycaprolactone nanoparticles (R@PCL NPs), followed by the formation of amide linkages with carboxyl-terminated transacting activator of transcription cell penetrating peptide (T) and metformin (M). The R@PCL-T/M NP nanotherapeutics are demonstrated
