Nanopolymers are reinforcements for high molecular compounds to create new materials using nanotechnology. In medicine, nanopolymers are used as drug carriers, delivering drugs to the right cells.
In essence, they are drug carrier systems that use polymers as drug carriers, with a microcapsule or microspherical structure.
Recently, scientists at Sechenov University (Russia) have made great progress in the field of cancer treatment. Special nanopolymer particles have been developed that can target cancer-causing genes inside cells, thereby preventing the development of malignant tumors.
The method of delivering anti-cancer drugs into new cells significantly increases treatment effectiveness and significantly reduces side effects for patients.
The nanopolymer particles are labeled with DNA molecules, proteins and chemical compounds, which enable them to find and adhere to the surface of cancer cells.
Embedding anti-cancer drugs in polymer nanoparticles allows the drugs to be delivered directly to the tumor, reducing the negative effects of the therapy on healthy tissues.
This approach is similar to the monoclonal antibody-based drug development approach, but has several distinct advantages including a broader molecular target range, lower manufacturing costs, and greater storage stability.
Additionally, studies conducted on cell lines have demonstrated successful inhibition of EGFR gene mutations - a key component of several common cancers.
