Summary for Patent: 10,363,226
Title:Platelet membrane-coated drug delivery system
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle having an inner core comprising a drug delivery matrix, and an outer shell platelet membrane coating the inner core. The inner core can be any drug delivery matrix capable of delivering a therapeutic agent to a cell. The outer shell platelet membrane can be a natural or synthetic membrane comprising platelet proteins capable of interacting with cancer cells. Also disclosed is a method for treating cancer in a subject that involves administering to the subject a platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle disclosed herein. Also disclosed is a method for treating vascular disease in a subject that involves administering to the subject a platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle disclosed herein.
Inventor(s): Gu; Zhen (Apex, NC), Hu; Quanyin (Raleigh, NC)
Assignee: North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC)
Application Number:15/752,008
Patent Claims:1. A platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle, comprising a) an inner core comprising a drug delivery matrix, wherein the drug delivery matrix comprises an antineoplastic therapeutic agent; and b) an outer shell platelet membrane coating the inner core, wherein the outer shell platelet membrane further comprises tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) and endogenous P-selectin protein.

2. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the antineoplastic drug is a hydrophobic small molecule.

3. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 2, wherein the anti-neoplastic drug is selected from the group consisting of paclitaxel, camptothecin, and docetaxel.

4. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the antineoplastic drug is a hydrophilic small molecule.

5. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the antineoplastic drug is selected from the group consisting of doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil.

6. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the outer shell platelet membrane comprises integrin .alpha..sub.IIb.beta..sub.3.

7. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the outer shell platelet membrane comprises a self-recognized immunomodulatory protein selected from the group consisting of CD47, CD55, and CD59.

8. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the outer shell platelet membrane further comprises a heterologous extracellularly active protein.

9. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 8, wherein the extracellularly active protein comprises a therapeutic antibody.

10. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 9, wherein the therapeutic antibody comprises cetuximab, trastuzumab, or a combination thereof.

11. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the drug delivery matrix further comprises a polymeric gel.

12. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the drug delivery matrix further comprises an inorganic particle.

13. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the drug delivery matrix further comprises a lipid particle.

14. The platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1, wherein the drug delivery matrix further comprises a dendrimer particle.

15. A method comprising administering the platelet membrane-coated nanovehicle of claim 1 to a subject.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the subject is suffering from cancer.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the subject is suffering from a vascular disease.
