Surface functionalization of polymeric nanoparticles for tumor drug delivery: approaches and challenges
Abstract
Introduction For years, injectable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed for delivering therapeutic agents to the tumors. Frequently, NPs surface have been modified with different moieties and/or ligands to impart stealth effect and/or elicit specific cellular interactions, both known to dramatically affect the in vivo fate and efficacy of these NPs. Areas covered: We discuss different types of ligands and molecules used for surface functionalization of polymeric NPs for tumor drug delivery. First, we summarize methods used through the literature for surface modification of polymeric NPs, then discuss challenges that face researchers either in decorating NPs with desired surface functionalities, characterizing functionalized surfaces or achieving intended cellular interactions and in vivo effects. Expert opinion: Modification of NP surfaces dramatically alters their behavior and favorably enhances their therapeutic efficacy. Choice of surface ligand/functionality should be based on intended therapeutic outcomes, taking into consideration the potential of clinical translation and scale up of the developed systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
