Schematic of mechanism proposal for CALAA-01. (a) Nanoparticles are assembled from a linear cyclodextrin-containing polymer (CDP), an adamantane-PEG conjugate (AD-PEG), a targeting component (transferrin, Tf) and the therapeutic gene (siRNA). (b) Nanoparticles are infused into patients. (c) The circulation of nanoparticles and their escape into tumors. (d) Receptor-mediated endocytosis. (e) Interactions between targeted nanoparticles and receptors on the surface of the cancer cell.29 (Copyright 2009 American Chemical Society).
