Folic acid-conjugated magnetic triblock copolymer nanoparticles for dual targeted delivery of 5-fluorouracil to colon cancer cells

Abstract Background In the current study, folic acid-conjugated PEG-PCL-PEG triblock copolymer were synthesized and loaded with 5-fluorouracil and magnetite nanoparticles (5-FU-SPION-PEG-PCL-PEG-FA) for targeted delivery of drug to HT29 human colon cancer cells and CT26 mouse colon cancer model. The...
