Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a clinically aggressive subtype of that represents 15-20% tumors and more prevalent in young pre-menopausal women. It the cancers with highest metastatic potential recurrence at first 5 years after diagnosis. In addition, mortality increases when complete pathological response not achieved. As TNBC cells lack estrogen, progesterone, HER2 receptors, patients do respond well to hormone anti-HER2 therapies, conventional chemotherapy remains standard treatment. Despite efforts develop targeted this disease continues have high unmet medical need, there an urgent demand for customized diagnosis therapeutics. immunotherapy changing paradigm anticancer treatment, it arises as alternative treatment patients. classified immunogenic due its levels tumor mutational burden presence immune cell infiltrates.

Despite being more aggressive than other types of breast cancer, there is no suitable treatment for triple-negative cancer (TNBC). Here, we designed doxorubicin-containing solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) decorated with anti-EGFR/CD44 dual-RNA aptamers, which are overexpressed in TNBC. For efficiency the nuclear delivery doxorubicin, dexamethasone (Dexa) was chemically attached to surface nanoparticles.To prepare cationic SLNs, 6-lauroxyhexyl BOC-ornithine (LHON) synthesized and form Dexa-LHON complexes. The SLNs were prepared via double emulsification (w/o/w) solvent evaporation technique. preparation statistically optimized using central composite response methodology.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a clinical challenge due to molecular, metabolic, and genetic heterogeneity as well the lack of validated drug targets. Thus, therapies or delivery paradigms are needed. Gold-derived compounds including FDA-approved drug, auranofin have shown promise effective anticancer agents against several tumors. To improve solubility bioavailability auranofin, we hypothesized that nanodelivery using biodegradable chitosan modified polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanoparticles (NPs) will enhance activity TNBC by comparing best nanoformulation with free drug. The selection was based on synthesis various PEG copolymers via formaldehyde-mediated engraftment onto form [chitosan-g-PEG] copolymer. Furthermore, altered physiochemical properties copolymer formaldehyde ratio towards (CP 1–4 NPs). Following recruitment polymer surface, explored how this process influenced stiffness nanoparticle atomic force microscopy (AFM), factor crucial for in vitro vivo studies. Our objective ensure full functionality inherent parent maintained without allowing overshadow chitosan's unique cationic while improving neutral pH. Hence, CP 2 NP chosen. demonstrate efficacy good carrier administered dose 3 mg/kg contrast which given at 5 mg/kg. In studies revealed potency encapsulated cells severe necrotic effect following treatment superior auranofin. conclusion, chitosan-g-PEG potential be an excellent system increasing its effectiveness potentially reducing limitations.
