Frontiers | Aspirin Repurposing in Folate-Decorated Nanoparticles: Another Way to Target Breast Cancer
Breast cancer affects more than one million women per year worldwide. Through this study, we develop a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system to target breast cancer cells. Aspirin has been found to inhibit thromboembolic diseases with its tumor-preventing activity. As a consequence, it relieves disease symptoms and severity. Here, mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MNP) have been used to deliver Aspirin to the tumor location. MNP-based Aspirin in folic acid (F)-conjugated Polydopamine (MNP-Asp-PD-PG-F) vehicles are prepared for targeted breast cancer therapy. The vehicle hinges on MNP altered ...
