Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a pH-responsive metal-catechol derivative nanoparticle for drug delivery based on a mussel adhesive protein, particularly Fe(III)-DOPA nanoparticle, and a method for preparing the same. A nanoparticle for drug delivery according to the present invention is prepared using a pH responsive substance, catechol derivative-metal complex, particularly Fe(III)-DOPA complex, based on a mussel adhesive protein. Thereby, the present invention has excellent biocompatibility, is capable of easily and quickly penetrating into a target cell, and releases a loaded drug under acidic conditions, which enables to selectively deliver a drug to a specific disease having an acidic environment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A pH-responsive nanoparticle for drug delivery, comprising: a catechol derivative; a metal capable of forming a coordinate bond with the catechol derivative; and a drug. 2 . The nanoparticle of claim 1 , wherein the catechol derivative is formed by converting a tyrosine residue of a mussel adhesive protein. 3 . The nanoparticle of claim 2 , wherein the mussel adhesive protein comprises an amino acid sequ…
