Abstract

Attachment of antibodies to the surface of liposomes was performed to confer specificity for a certain cell or organ expressing the targeted antigenic determinant. These so-called immunoliposomes are expected to be applied as targeted drug carriers. In this article, the literature concerning in vivo studies of the targeting of immunoliposomes to various sites in the body is reviewed. The anatomical, physiological, and pathological constraints and current progress are described. Moreover, perspectives on the therapeutic feasibility of this drug targeting system are discussed.

    Citation Excerpt :

    We have not attempted a systematic search for natural products currently being tested in clinical trials, although, as shown above, our species-based search returned several such studies. We performed an informal exploratory search for clinical trials testing the antimalarial compound chloroquine and obtained six citations indexed in MEDLINE [67–72]. We also searched the US National Institutes of Health website (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov: accessed January 5, 2012) and found six currently active cancer clinical trials testing chloroquine.
