Research Progress on Application of Lactoferrin in Targeted Drug Delivery Systems
Lactoferrin is a natural glycoprotein that has received extensive attention as a natural biomaterial with targeting functions.Lactoferrin-conjugated drugs or lactoferrin modified nano-based drug delivery systems can effectively deliver antineoplastics to tumor sites through receptor-mediated endocytosis to minimizing side effects and achieving higher therapeutic effects.This review introduces the composition and performance of drug delivery systems designed and developed with lactoferrin as a targeted ligand,with the aim of providing a reference and new ideas for in-depth study of delivery systems of antineoplastics.
