Losartan inhibits collagen I synthesis and improves the distribution and efficacy of nanotherapeutics in tumors
The dense collagen network in tumors significantly reduces the penetration and efficacy of nanotherapeutics. We tested whether losartan—a clinically approved angiotensin II receptor antagonist with noted antifibrotic activity—can enhance the penetration and efficacy of nanomedicine. We found that lo...
