摘要
The recombinant third domain of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP3D) is one of the promising vectors for targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumor cells. AFP3D-based conjugates with various anti-tumor agents have shown specific anti-tumor activity. The content of anti-tumor drugs in the preparation could be increased by including dendrimers - highly branched nanoparticles - into a targeted delivery system. In this study, we synthesized the AFP3D conjugate with doxorubicin-loaded poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer nanoparticles and investigated its cytotoxic activity.
