The facile synthetic procedure for generating multiple hydroxyl groups on the fullerene cage offers scope for high drug loading in addition to conferring hydrophilicity. Doxorubicin, a first line cancer chemotherapeutic, was conjugated to fullerenols through a carbamate linker, achieving ultrahigh loading efficiency. The drug-fullerenol conjugate was found to be relatively stable in phosphate buffer saline but temporally released the active drug when incubated with tumor cell lysate. The fullerenol-doxorubicin conjugate suppressed the proliferation of cancer cell-lines in vitro through a G2-M cell cycle block, resulting in apoptosis. Furthermore, in an in vivo murine tumor model, fullerenol-doxorubicin exhibited Comparable antitumor efficacy as free drug without the systemic toxicity of free doxorubicin. Additionally, we demonstrate that the fullerenol platform can be extended to other chemotherapeutic agents, such as the slightly water-soluble cisplatin, and can emerge as a new paradigm in the management of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.855</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roy, Rituparna Sinha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Shivani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harfouche, Rania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vasudevan, Pooja R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holmes, Oliver</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Jonge, Hugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rowe, Arthur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paraskar, Abhimanyu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hentschel, Dirk M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chirgadze, Dimitri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blundell, Tom L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gherardi, Ermanno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mashelkar, Raghunath Anant</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sengupta, Shiladitya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coupling growth-factor engineering with nanotechnology for therapeutic angiogenesis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cardiovascular disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HGF/SF</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ischemic disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nanoparticle</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">protein engineering</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NATL ACAD SCIENCES</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2101 CONSTITUTION AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20418 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">107</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13608-13613</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Therapeutic angiogenesis is an emerging paradigm for the management of ischemic pathologies. Proangiogenic Therapy is limited, however, by the current inability to deliver angiogenic factors in a sustained manner at the site of pathology. In this study, we investigated a unique nonglycosylated active fragment of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor, 1K1, which acts as a potent angiogenic agent in vitro and in a zebrafish embryo and a murine matrigel implant model. Furthermore, we demonstrate that nanoformulating 1K1 for sustained release temporally alters downstream signaling through the mitogen activated protein kinase pathway, and amplifies the angiogenic outcome. Merging protein engineering and nanotechnology offers exciting possibilities for the treatment of ischemic disease, and furthermore allows the selective targeting of downstream signaling pathways, which translates into discrete phenotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.43
