Masking and triggered unmasking of targeting ligands on liposomal chemotherapy selectively suppress tumor growth in vivo.

abstract：:Selective ligands to the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) may induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. An overexpression of PBR in certain cancers allowed us to consider the use of highly selective ligands to PBR for receptor-mediated drug targeting to tumors. With this in mind, we prepared PBR-targeted nanopar...
