Self-assembled fluorodendrimers in the co-delivery of fluorinated drugs and therapeutic genes†
Abstract
Fluorinated drugs now make up about 25% of all pharmaceuticals. However, versatile carriers are currently lacking for the delivery of fluorinated drugs. Here, we developed a fluorodendrimer as a versatile and multifunctional carrier for fluorinated drugs. The fluorodendrimer enables the co-delivery of fluorinated anticancer drugs and therapeutic genes for synergistic cancer therapy.
