Using nanotechnology to target aggressive cancers with a novel small molecule inhibitor of the DNA damage tolerance pathway
Background: Nanotechnology is emerging as a promising tool to target cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are preferentially taken up by cancer cells when injected into the blood stream and their safety has been demonstrated in human clinical trials. WSU researchers have designed a unique nanoparticle conjugate that combines a GNP with a small molecule...

Nanoparticle Method to Stabilize Suspension-Based pMDI HFA Formulations
Novel nanoparticle-based drug compositions and methods that improve and expand therapeutic drug delivery to the lungs through pressurized meter-dose inhalers (pMDIs). A large variety of approaches have been developed at WSU aimed at improving the aerosol characteristics and expanding the range of target species deliverable. These improved formulations...

Dual action nanocarrier combining CXCR4 antagonist and polyplex gene delivery for treatment of metastatic cancer and other diseases
Novel bio-reducible polymer compositions which combine the ability to act as a CXCR4 antagonist and simultaneously provide enhanced gene delivery through the formation of inert nanocarrier polyplexes have been developed. As would be expected for biodegradable polymers, the cytotoxicity of these nanocarrier compositions are very low with measured IC50...
