Folate–Gold–Bilirubin Nanoconjugate Induces Apoptotic Death in Multidrug-Resistant Oral Carcinoma Cells
2019
Background
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are receiving increasing attention as drug delivery carriers due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, hydrophilicity, and functionality. Drug delivery by nanocarriers has the potential to bypass P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) by altering the drug internalization mechanism and/or intracellular release pattern, inhibiting the activity of ABC-transporter efflux pumps, or downregulating the expression of genes responsible for the activity of efflux pumps.
