NGR-PM-PTX was prepared by thin-film hydration method. The in vitro targeting characteristics of NGR-modified PM on HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells), HT1080 (human fibrosarcoma cells) and MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma cells) were then investigated. The anti-tumor activity of NGR-PM-PTX was evaluated in HT1080 tumor-bearing mice in vivo. The targeting activity of the NGR-modified PM was demonstrated by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy in vitro. NGR-PM-PTX also produced marked anti-tumor activity to HTI080 tumor-beating mice in vivo.展开更多
