Abstract
A stimuli-responsive drug delivery system based on fluorescent, lectin-gated, mesoporous glyconanoparticles has been developed and evaluated in normal- and cancer lung epithelial cells. The gating process proved efficient, exhibiting good sealing properties in the absence of the glutathione redox trigger, avoiding premature release in normal cells. In the presence of higher levels of glutathione in cancer cells, the lectin gate was rapidly opened and the anticancer drug released.Entities:
