In order to improve the therapeutic effect, prolong the action time and reduce the side effects of the first generation thrombolytic drug urokinase (UK), a novel UK/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-chitosan (CS)-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (Arg-Gly-Asp) (RGD) drug delivery system was synthesized by chemical bonding/non covalent bond modification/ultrasonic dispersion. The results showed that the diameter of the UK/MWCNTs-CS-RGD drug delivery system was about 30–40 nm, there was a layer of UK was attached to the surface of the tube wall, and the distribution was relatively uniform. The average encapsulation efficiency was 83.10%, and the average drug loading was 12.81%. Interestingly, it also had a certain sustained-release effect, and its release law was best fitted by first-order kinetic equation. Moreover, the accelerated and long-term stability test results show that it had good stability. Compared with free UK, UK/MWCNTs-CS-RGD had thrombolytic effect in vitro. In addition, MTT experiment showed that the prepared MWCNTs-CS-RGD nanomaterials had good biocompatibility. A rabbit model of carotid artery thrombosis was used to conduct targeted thrombolysis experiments in vivo. Compared with free UK, UK/MWCNTs-CS-RGD could be enriched in the thrombosis site to achieve thrombus targeting. UK/MWCNTs-CS-RGD drug delivery system was expected to become an effective thrombolytic drug for targeted therapy of thrombosis.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to prepare a new neovascularity targeting antitumor drug delivery system mediated by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Methods. In this study, antiangiogenesis agent 2-methoxyestradiol was loaded by SWNTs via π~π accumulation. The SWNTs were then linked with NGR (Asn-Gly-Arg) peptide, which could target tumor angiogenesis. This drug delivery system was characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscope analysis. The suppression efficacy of tumor growth in cultured breast cancer cell line was evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The in vivo antitumor activity was evaluated on the Sarcoma (S180) tumor-bearing mice model. Results. The characteristics of this drug delivery system showed that the particle of complex was 190 ± 4.3 nm in size distribution and 23.56 ± 2.03 mV in zeta potential. The inhibition ratio of this SWNTs drug delivery system at 24, 48, and 72 h was about 57.7%, 83.6%, and 88.2%. Compared with normal saline group, the relative tumor volumes in the 2ME, SWNTs-2ME, and NGR-SWNTs-2ME groups were decreased 1 week after administration. Conclusion. This novel neovascularity targeting drug delivery system containing NGR-SWNTs-2ME may be beneficial to improve treatment efficacy and minimize side effects in future cancer therapy.
