Tumor-cell targeting polydiacetylene micelles encapsulated with an antitumor drug for the treatment of ovarian cancer

Abstract

Peptide functionalized polydiacetylene (PDA) micelles encapsulated with camptothecin (CPT) kill ovarian cancer cells by the lysosome release of anticancer drug CPT. Moreover, the sub-30 nm PDA micelles penetrate efficiently into a tumor for enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
