Recent emphasis has focused on the development of rationally designed polymer-based micelle carriers for drug delivery. The current work tests the hypothesis that target specificity can be enhanced by micelles with cancer-specific ligands. In particular, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a new gadolinium texaphyrin (Gd-Tx) complex encapsulated in an IVECT micellar system, stabilized through Fe(III) cross-linking and targeted with multiple copies of a specific ligand for the melan ...[more]
