About Targeted NanoFabTx^™

Targeted NanoFabTX^™- PEG-RGD Lipid Mix; for synthesis of PEGylated RGD targeted liposomes is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid blend that includes lyophilized lipids and step-by-step instructions for synthesizing PEG-RGD targeted liposomes for the targeted delivery of the API to cancer cells.

Lipid-based formulations are widely used for drug delivery and enable improved therapeutic efficacy of a range of drug types including small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins and peptides. This optimized lipid blend containg RGD peptide for targeted drug delivery and PEG to improve circulation time and impose stealth like behavior.

Application example:
Integrins (alpha V beta 3) are overexpressed by many cancer cells. The RGD peptide has high affinity to the integrins. Thus, liposomes containing the ligand RGD can be used to deliver the anti-cancer agent directly to the cancer cells. The targeted RGD liposomes will deliver the API to only the cancer cells and not the healthy cells. As a result, the targeted liposomes avoid off target effects which is a side effect of many anti-cancer therapies.

Leistungsmerkmale und Vorteile

• A ready-to-use lipid blend for the synthesis of PEG-RGD targeted liposomes.
• Step-by-step protocols (extrusion, microfluidics) developed and tested by our formulation scientists.
• Flexible synthesis tool to create uniform and reproducible liposomes.
• RGD ligand enables targeted drug delivery

Comprehensive protocols for liposome synthesis are included:

• A lipid film hydration and extrusion protocol
• A microfluidics protocol using commercial platforms or syringe pumps

The microfluidics protocol included with this product uses the NanoFabTx^™ device kit (911593). These kits come with the microfluidics chips, fittings, and tubing required to get started with microfluidics-based synthesis (compatible microfluidics system or syringe pump required).

For more information, please refer to the protocol under the Protocol section of this page.
