TARGETED LIPOSOMES COMPRISING N-CONTAINING BISPHOSPHONATES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present is based on the finding that folate targeted liposomal alendronate (FT-AL-L) was significantly more potent against two tested cancer cell lines than the free alendronate (AL) or the non-targeted liposomal alendronate (AL-L), as observed by the increased cytotoxicity of the folate targeted liposomal alendronate. Thus, the present disclosure provides targeted liposomes comprising a membrane and an intraliposomal core, the membrane comprising at least one liposome forming lipid and a targeting moiety, such as folate, exposed at the membrane's outer surface; and the intraliposomal core comprising encapsulated therein least one N-containing bisphosphonate. Also provided by the present disclosure are methods of use of the targeted liposomes such as for the treatment of a disease or disorder.
