PolyMetformin combines carrier and anticancer activities for in vivo siRNA delivery

The anti-diabetic drug Metformin also possesses anti-tumour activity. Here, the authors synthesize polymeric Metformin-based nanoparticles that still exert intrinsic biological activity through AMPK and mTOR regulation and can systematically deliver VEGF siRNA, significantly reducing lung cancer gro...

Sumario:The anti-diabetic drug Metformin also possesses anti-tumour activity. Here, the authors synthesize polymeric Metformin-based nanoparticles that still exert intrinsic biological activity through AMPK and mTOR regulation and can systematically deliver VEGF siRNA, significantly reducing lung cancer growth in mice.
