An Aptamer–Doxorubicin Physical Conjugate as a Novel Targeted Drug‐Delivery Platform

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Trojan aptamer: A novel strategy for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells was developed through the formation of a physical conjugate (see scheme) between doxorubicin (Dox) and the A10 RNA aptamer that binds to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). The aptamer–Dox conjugate could efficiently bind to PSMA-expressing cells, thereby resulting in its uptake and the intracellular release of Dox.
