Latenciação e formas avançadas de transporte de fármacos

O processo de modificação molecular denominado latenciação é revisto, apresentando formas avançadas no transporte de fármacos, utilizando macromoléculas como transportadores e sistemas de liberação sítio-específica como: CDS (Chemical Delivery System), ADEPT (Antibody-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy), GDEPT/VDEPT (Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy/Vírus-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy), ODDS (Osteotropic Drug Delivery System), PDEPT (Polymer-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy), PELT (Polymer-Enzyme Liposome Therapy) e LEAPT (Lectin-Directed Enzyme-Activated Prodrug Therapy).

This is a review about the molecular modification process, called latentiation, or prodrug design, focusing the progress in the prodrug approach using macromolecules as carriers and drug target systems as: PDEPT ( Polymer-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy); PELT (Polymer-Enzyme Liposome Therapy); CDS (Chemical Delivery System); ADEPT(Antibody-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy; GDEPT/VDEPT (Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy/Virus-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy and ODDS (Osteotropic Drug Delivery System) and LEAPT (Lectin-Directed Enzyme-Activated Prodrug Therapy).
