| Research Abstract |
Increased expression of fucosyltransferases(FUTs) is common in colic adenocarcinoma cells5. FUTs are key enzymes accelerating malignant transformation through the fucosylation of different sialylated precursors, suggesting a crucial requirement for L-fucose by colic adenocarcinoma cells. We developed L-fucose-bound liposomes as vehicles for delivery of anticancer drugs specifically to these cells. We report that intravenously injected L-fucose-bound liposomes containing Cisplatin were successfully delivered to colic cancer cells, mediating efficient tumour growth inhibition in tumour-bearing mice.
