| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A new DDS carrier has been developed for cancer treatment. The nanoparticles are core-shell structure which is Fe3O4 for the core material and SiO2 for the porous shell material. The Fe3O4 is heated by applying alternating magnetic field, and brings out hyperthermia effect. The function of porous SiO2 is for support of anti-cancer drug. Additionally, the surface of the nanoparticles developed were covered with tLyP-1 peptides which home only cancer cells not normal cells, thereby we have succeeded an active targeting DDS for cancer treatment.
