- Abstract
- Angiogenesis is a physiological process of forming new blood vessels that has pathological importance in seemingly unrelated illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and various inflammatory diseases. Treatment targeting angiogenesis has shown promise for these types of diseases, but current anti-angiogenic agents have critical limitations in delivery and side -effects. This necessitates exploration of alternative approaches like biomolecule-based drugs. Proteins, lipids, and oligonucleotides have recently become popular in biomedicine, specifically as biocompatible components of therapeutic drugs. Their excellent bioavailability and potential bioactive and immunogenic properties make them prime candidates for drug discovery or drug delivery systems. Lipid -based liposomes have become standard vehicles for targeted nanoparticle (NP) delivery, while protein and nucleotide NPs show promise for environment -sensitive delivery as smart NPs. Their therapeutic applications have initially been hampered by short circulation times and difficulty of fabrication but recent developments in nanofabrication and NP engineering have found ways to circumvent these disadvantages, vastly improving the practicality of biomolecular NPs. In this review, we are going to briefly discuss how biomoleculebased NPs have improved anti-angiogenesis-based therapy.
