Aptamer and nanotechnology- based approaches for active targeted delivery of anti-tuberculosis drugs

Abstract

This presentation show how the formulation of multifunctional polymeric nanoparticles for encapsulation of ATD's with optimum physico-chemical properties has been achieved. Aptamers (against mannose receptors) can assist uptake of nanoparticles in TB infected cells. The delivery of nanoparticles to site of infection can be achieved via active targeting without compromising properties of nanoparticles.
