RGD conjugated liposome-hollow silica hybrid nanovehicles for targeted and controlled delivery of arsenic trioxide against hepatic carcinoma

Abstract

) by 1.7 times and increased the area under curve (AUC) by 2.4 times. In addition, in a H22 tumor-xenograft mouse model, nanovehicles improved the targeting efficiency and anticancer potential of ATO. In conclusion, the strategy of constructing a nanocarrier with targeted delivery and controlled release characteristics is prospective to enhance the antitumor effect of ATO.
