Synthesis of a theranostic agent: radioiodinated PEGylated PLGA-indocyanine capsules and in vitro determination of their bioaffinity on ovarian, cervical and breast cancer cells

The aim of current study is to synthesize a theranostic (multi-functional) agent, which is targeted on ovary, cervical and breast cancer types with diagnosis and treatment potential and to determine its bioaffinity by using in vitro methods. In conclusion; the designed compound (IPPP), which has fluorescence capability (from Indocyanine), encapsulated structure (with PEGylated PLGA), included an anticancer drug (Paclitaxel) for targeting and radionuclidic tracer (I-131) content for tracing, has bioaffinity and promise for diagnosis and therapy on ovarian, cervical and breast cancer cell lines.
