Targeted cancer therapy using alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as a novel vector molecule: A proof-of-concept study

Up-regulated monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) serve as potential targets for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against some cancer cells. Besides being an efficient substrate to some MCTs, the role of alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) as a vector of nanoparticles for cancer cells was not yet evaluated. This aim of this study was to demonstrate the role of CHCA as a vector of liposomes targeting cancer cells that...
