Nanoparticles and Medicine • Advantages: • Carrier and reservoir system • Protectionagainstdegradation/immune system • Controlleddelivery and release
Popular carrier systems micelles vesicles polymer micro- and nanoparticles Macromolecular carrier systems Albumin
Hydrophilic polymer Hydrophobic polymer polymersome liposome Polymer vesicles vs Liposomes Common features: Capsules Delivery vehicles Stealth functionalization Differences: Block copolymer amphiphiles Phospholipids Synthetic Natural Rigid and stable Dynamic
Stealth properties The immune system does not recognize the particles Poly(ethylene glycol): PEG
Nanoparticles and Medicine • Advantages: • Carrier and reservoir system • Protectionagainstdegradation/immune system • Controlleddelivery and release • Disadvantages: • Size • Cellularuptake • Release mechanismsnecessary
Nanoparticles and biodistribution: natural filter systems Spleen Liver pores of 40-60 and up to 150 nm • Optimum size for circulation in the blood stream is <100 nm • Flexible particles are more efficient

Sizeeffectsoncellularuptake Small particles of about 25nm, preferably spheres, are most efficient for cellular uptake
Active cellular uptake Polymersomes modified with cell penetrating peptides Positively charged peptides (Tat, derived from HIV) interact with cell membrane
