binding to untargeted cells (for highly cationic particles) (Owens and Peppas 2006; Chouly et al. 1996; Salvador-Morales et al. 2009). Therefore, for a long circulation half-life actively targeting nanomedicines with minimal non-specic interactions, a hydrophilic surface (achieved by, e.g., using a hydrophilic coating such as PEG, chitosan, or dextran) and a zeta potential of between - 10 and +10 mV is ideal (Swami et al. through modication of the induce PEG-specic IgM, which accelerates blood clearance and alters the pharma­cokinetics and pharmacodynamics of liposomes and PEGylated particles. Another aspect to consider is the possible interaction between the steric efciency of the PEG corona, which may prevent cell internalization of the nanomedicine. A possible

balanc intracellular interactions (Attia et al. on biodistribution has not suggested that non-spherical-shaped nanocarriers are better at avoiding bioelimination when compared to spherical systems (L iu et al. 2007). Other studies have shown that an increase in the length-to-width aspect ratio of nanosystems is correlated with an increase in their blood circulation time (Veiseh et al. 2010; Geng et al. 2007
Thus, different types of nanocarriers have been developed that can be used depending on the therapeutic or diagnostic application. Generally speaking, these platforms can be classied into three categories: (1) organic-based nanoparticles such as liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers; (2) inorganic­based nanoparticles from iron oxide, gold, ceramics, and carbon nanotubes to name a few examples; and (3) hybrids of these last two categories (Attia et al. 2019b).
In summary, nanocarriers must remain stable in the blood, escape clearance from the reticuloendothelial system as well as not be phagocytosed, accumulate in the area of interest, penetrate the target tissue, reach the active site, and interact, ideally, only with target cells.

Choice of Targeting Moiety
The choice of ligand is not trivial and depends on the targeted site which can vary from intravascular tumour cells to endothelial cells in the blood vessels of a tumour (Pearce and O'Reilly 2019).
In this sense, targeting angiogenic endothelial cells can reduce the blood ow to cancer cells, leading to hypoxia and necrosis due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients required by tumour masses. For example, derivatives of the peptide sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) may be used as ligands to target the over­expressed integrin (α2bβ3, ανβ3, and α5β1) receptors on tumour endothelial cells. This type of targeting reduces drug resistance by allowing adaptation to differences in receptor expression in different tumour types (Pearce and O'Reilly 2019; Attia et al. 2019b ).
Targeting tumour cells requires high density of receptor expression to allow for greater interaction with ligands. However, not all tumour cells over-express

receptors at the same level. Some simulations show that an increase in targeting ligands may cause steric hindrance or a preference for surface cells rather than the penetration deep into the tumour tissues, while the addition of ligands may increase opsonization of the nanomedicine (Attia et al. 2019b).
Taking the above into consideration, in the selection of the targeting ligand for an actively targe ted nanoparticle to a specic receptor, it is important to identify whether the high specicity of an antibody or antibody fragment is required or whether a non-antibody ligand is preferred (Table 14.2).
The major advantages of antibodies or antibody fragments are the high degree of specicity for the target cell, the wide range of binding afnities that can be achieved, and the possibility of synergism between the signalling antibodies and the therapeutic agents resultin g in a more efcient targeting and pharmacology (Allen
2002; Maynard and Georgiou 2000; Baselga 2001). Non-antibody ligands
such as transferrin and folic acid have relatively non-selective expression, thus, they can bind to a greater extent to non-target tissues (Allen ligand used should have sufcient high afnity for the receptor, but be able to allow the cargo to be released into the cell. The endogenous ligand should not compete

with the delivery vector for receptor occupancy. Thus, careful consideration of the relative binding afnities and the physiological levels of the endogenous ligand need to be considered. Transferrin is thought not to be a suitable vector as its plasma concentration is >1000-fold higher than the Kd of 5.6 nM. Ideally, the vector should not be pharmacologically active (e.g. insulin is undesirable). The vector conjugate should have a high receptor afnity that is not aff used. If the binding rst target molecule encountered and dissociation and further diffusion would not be possible. This might be useful for readily available targets, such as in the case of vasculature tumours, but could be detrimental in the therapy of solid tumours, where penetration deeper into the tumour is needed (Adams et al. exhibit the certain antibody fragments (scFv and Fab), which have only one binding domain. Some non-antibody ligands (such as carbohydrates) show a weaker binding afnity, which may be counteracted by several ligands being attached to the surface of the carriers (Allen target cells, but this may be accompanied by a higher manufacturing cost and the enhanced possibility of clearance and particle in vivo instability (Allen de Menezes et
Despite the use of humanized or human antibodies, immunogenicity remains a problem to be addressed and presents in the form of anti-idiotypic respon ses, especially with the use of whole antibodies (Dillman Fc domain in the antibody may lead to binding to Fc receptors of normal tissues (particularly macrophages which might increase their immunogenicity) and may also lead to an enhancement of activity, because of antibody-dependent cellular cytotox­icity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (Allen
One of the major advantages of the non-antibody ligands is the ease of scaling-up their synth esis resulting in low-cost and time-efcient manufacture with minimal variation from batch to batch. This reduces the overall cost and complexity of engineered nanomedicines. Compared to antibodies, the smaller number of active sites for modication present in proteins and peptides allows for uncomplicated site­specic conjugation to nanoparticles (Swami et al. targeting moieties are their higher stability upon storage and better tissue penetra­tion, which can be potentially useful in the treatment of solid tumours.

The Therapeutic Agent
The last point to consider is the potency of the encapsulated or loaded drug. When the ratio between the ligand and drug is too high, more potent drugs need to be used. In this case, each ligand moiety can only deliver a few drug molecules. If the drug is not potent enough, large amounts of ligands are required, which would increase the cost as well as the immunogenicity of the system. However, when the drug is encapsulated in nanocarriers, the number of drug molecules delivered per carrier is exponentially higher, which is important for low-potency drugs (Swami et al. Nevertheless, there are limitations related to drug loading in terms of the technology currently used for the manufacture of nanomedicines. Among these limitations is the

small drug loading in the nanostructure (less than 5% drug versus the carrier composition), which can lead to drug concentrations not being high enough for the expected therapeutic effect. Additionally trying to achieve therapeutic concentra­tions with high levels of the carrier may cause adverse effects (Attia et al.
2019b).
14.5 Examples of Active Targeting Nanomedicines
14.5.1 Focus on Cancer-Active Targeting
14.5.1.1 EPR Effect
Although actively targeted nanomedicines can bind specically to receptors local­ized on cancer cells, the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect plays a critical role too as it helps to accumulate the nanomedicines in higher concentrations in solid tumours than in normal tissues (Allen asation of nanomedicines from the blood vessel to the tumour interstitial space is enhanced because of the unique properties of the tumour vasculature, such as the lack of tight junctions between adjacent endothelial cells (Ruoslahti 2002) and the presence of porous blood vessels with a pore cut-off size of 380–780 nm (Hobbs
1998). At the same time, the retention of nanomedicines within solid tumours is
et al. enhanced due to poor lymphatic drainage and slow venous return from the interstitium of the tumour (Danhier et al. lymphatic drainage can lead to higher osmotic pressures within the tumours resulting in an outow of uids, which might severely restrict the nanomedicine distribution to some areas of the tumour (Stohrerm et al. 2000).

14.5.1.2 Cell Proliferation Targeting
One of the advantages of active targeting nanomedicines is their potential to interact specically with endocytosis-prone surface receptors (over-expressed by cancer cells) leading to cellular internalization of the nanomedicine resulting in direct cell death (Danhier et al. 2010; Kirpotin et al. 2006). Table 14.3 summarizes several approaches of actively targeted nanomedicines towards (i) membrane-bound inter­nalization-prone receptors and (ii) intracellular receptors.

Folate receptor. Folic acid is crucial for the synthesis of purines and pyrim idines
and binds to folate receptors being internalized via receptor-mediated endocyto-

2. Transferrin receptor. Transferrin is a glycoprotein that transports iron through the blood into the cells and is expressed in many organs (liver, spleen, lung, and brain). Transferrin is internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis after binding to transferrin receptors. These receptors are over-expressed (up to 100-fold higher) in cancer cells which makes them an attractive target for cancer therapy (Danhier et al. transferrin-conjugate with high levels of endogenous transferrin limits its use as a vector. The anti-transferrin monoclonal antibody (mAb) (OX26) has also been used as a ligand for nanoparticulate drug deli very (Ulbrich et al. Pardridge 2009).
3. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is expressed in epithelial, mesenchymal, and neuronal tissues playing a crucial role in proliferation, differentiation, and development. It is over­expressed in a variety of solid tumours (such as colorectal, lung, ovarian, kidney, pancreatic, brain, and prostate cancer) and its activation is correlated with tumour progression and poor prognosis (Yano et al. 2003).
4. Lectins and glycoproteins expressed on cell surfaces. Lectins are glycan-binding proteins that selectively recognize and bind to carbohydrate moieties expressed on cell surfaces and can be differently expressed in cancer cells compared to normal tissues (Clark and Mao 2012). Thus, two strategies can be used. The rst involves direct lectin targeting with lectins attached to the surface of the nanocarriers for targeting to cell carbohydrates or reverse lectin targeting with carbohydrates grafted to the nanocarriers and directed to cell lectins (Minko
2004).
