Background and Introduction
 Cancer
Development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably which
have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue 1
 Chemotherapy
 Nonspecificity
 Toxicity
 Adverse side effects
 Poor solubility
Use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells.
Work by disrupting the growth of cancer cells 2

A. Optical properties of nanoparticles depend greatly on its structure.
Particularly, the color (wavelength) emitted by a quantum dot (a
semiconductor nanoparticle) depends on its diameter.
C. The quantum dots (QD) can be injected to a
subject, and then be detected by exciting them
to emit light

1) A nanoparticle carries the pharmaceutical
agent inside its core, while its shell is
functionalized with a ‘binding’ agent
2) Through the ‘binding’ agent, the ‘targeted’
nanoparticle recognizes the target cell. The
functionalized nanoparticle shell interacts
with the cell membrane
3) The nanoparticle is ingested inside the cell,
and interacts with the biomolecules inside
the cell
4) The nanoparticle particles breaks, and the
pharmaceutical agent is released
Source: Comprehensive Cancer Center Ohio University
Because of their small sizes, nanoparticles are taken by cells where
large particles would be excluded or cleared from the body
.
Nanoparticle structure was designed
by linking hydrophobic cancer drug
(Taxol) and tumor-targeting ligand
to hydrophilic and biodegradable polymer.
Delivers 50% higher dose of active
agent TaxolTM
to the targeted tumor
areas.

A. A dual Nanoparticle, the targeting
ligand allow it to diagnose if a cell is
healthy or sick, and bind specifically
to the tumorous cell
B. Once inside the cell, the
polymeric nanoparticle degrades
and the anticancer agent is set free
