- 9. Nano Drug DeliverySystem - Targeting Q: How do the Nanoparticles deliver drugs to targeted tissues? • Purely Size & Geometry dependent mode • Normal blood vessels: • Cell walls have tight junctions with spaces smaller than the Nanoparticle • Nanoparticle carrying drug is not able to enter, preventing toxicity to normal tissues • Cancerous blood vessels: • Cell walls are dilated with large gaps (200-1200nm) & compromised lymphatic drainage • Highly permeable for nanoparticles up to dia.400nm to enter and preferentially accumulate at tumor sites Passive Targeting
- 10. Nano Drug DeliverySystem - Targeting • Not dependent on size or geometry • Affinity ligands (e.g. antibodies, DNA/RNA) are attached to Nanoparticle surface • This allow the Nanoparticle carrying drug to recognize and bind to target cells having specific receptors on their surfaces, e.g. tumor cells • After the nanoparticle is bound to the target cells, the drugs carried within is released inside the target cells Active Targeting http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/770397_3

New Process for movingnanoparticles • The proposed Local Electromagnetic Steering System (LESS) uses a small electromagnet that is attached to a robotic manipulator to steer the nanoparticles inside the blood vessels. • The main advantage of LESS is that it significantly reduces the cost (a few thousand dollars) and also the size of the system; as compared to multi-million dollar MRI-based drug delivery in chemotherapy as one of the important procedures in the cancer therapy.

- 34. New Process for producingnanoparticles Materials science assistant professor uses affordable tools to create nanoparticle catalysts and drug-delivery systems His team set out to develop a low-cost approach to nanoparticles synthesis - low-cost “scissor” to chop blocks of metals into small particles while also forming and organizing other layers on the metal surface to create an onion-like nanoassembly. The advantage is that when the drug is attached to the squishy particle it can respond to acidity changes in the body. The drug would only be released in regions with high pH, a common feature of tumors and inflammation; thereby, attacking the disease or foreign object only where needed.

- 36. Challenges and Issues •According to the Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) in 2009, the average total cost to push a new drug through development in the United States is more than $800 million. • The process takes an average of 12 to 15 years, leaving only five to eight years of U.S. patent protection. PhRMA further notes that just one in 5,000 new compounds survives the process to become a new drug in the marketplace.

ACS Nano. 2013 September 24; 7(9): 7442–7447. doi:10.1021/nn404501g. • By using Nanoparticles to delivery drug, >95% administered drug still ends up at non-target site (non-tumor) • BUT, it is still 5x more efficient delivery than non-nano drug delivery method • This 5x more efficient delivery can be exploited for maximizing drug efficacy A: Traditional drug solution B: Nanoparticle formulation 5x more

Conclusion • The useof nanotechnology for diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases is largely still in the research and development phase • We will need to find new materials (e.g. new nanoparticles) that are appropriate for more specific applications • We will also need to find new processes (e.g. new nonmanufacturing process) that produce nanoparticles cheaply and in large quantities • Increasing alliance between pharmaceutical companies and DDS Research Institutions (Invention Innovation Commercialisation)
