Synthesis of Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) and Entrapment of PNA into Liposomes
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a synthetic pseudopeptide nucleic acid analogue in which the deoxyribose phosphodiester backbone of DNA is replaced by a pseudo-peptide composed of N-(2 aminoethyl)glycine units, resulting in an achiral and uncharged DNA mimic. PNA is chemically stable and resistant to …

Optimisation of the anti-cancer efficacy of various tocotrienol isomers by entrapment in tumour-targeted vesicles
Tocotrienol is a group of four isomers, found in nature as part of vitamin E. Although known for its anti-cancer activity, its therapeutic use is hampered by its limited ability to specifically reach tumours after intravenous administration. Recently, we demonstrated that tocotrienol-rich fraction …
