Preparation and Characterization of Celecoxib-Conjugated Polyethylenimine as a Potential Nanocarrier for Gene Delivery

The objective of the present investigation was to conjugate celecoxib as a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor onto polyethylenimine (PEI) in order to prepare nanoparticles for tissue targeting. Since celecoxib binds to COX-2 and this enzyme is over expressed in several pathological conditions includ...
