Overview
DTX-HSA-FA is a folate-targeted nanoparticle formulation of docetaxel conjugated to human serum albumin (HSA) and decorated with folic acid (FA). Developed by researchers at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, the conjugate is designed to improve the water solubility of docetaxel and actively target cancer cells that overexpress folate receptors. By utilizing folic acid as a targeting ligand, the nanoparticles are selectively internalized by folate receptor-positive cancer cells, enhancing cytotoxicity and reducing systemic side effects. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated superior tumor reduction and survival rates compared to free docetaxel in breast cancer models.
