Abstract
Agonists of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) pathway, a critical mediator of innate immune response to foreign invaders with DNA, have gained significant interest in cancer immunotherapy. STING agonists are envisioned as a way of complementing the antitumor activity of the patient’s immune system and immune checkpoint blockade therapy. However, their clinical development has been challenging due to the poor pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties. This review discusses drug delivery efforts to circumvent the challenges, their accomplishment, and unmet needs based on the last five years of literature.
环鸟苷单磷酸-腺苷单磷酸合成酶(cGAS)-干扰素基因刺激器(STING)通路是先天免疫对外来入侵者 DNA 作出反应的关键介质,其激动剂在癌症免疫疗法中备受关注。STING 激动剂被认为是对患者免疫系统抗肿瘤活性和免疫检查点阻断疗法的一种补充。然而,由于药代动力学和理化特性较差,其临床开发一直面临挑战。本综述根据过去五年的文献,讨论了为规避这些挑战所做的给药努力、所取得的成就以及尚未满足的需求。
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Biotechnology (COBIOT) is renowned for publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews. By offering clear and readable syntheses of current advances in biotechnology, COBIOT assists specialists in staying updated on the latest developments in the field. Expert authors annotate the most noteworthy papers from the vast array of information available today, providing readers with valuable insights and saving them time.
As part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COBIOT is accompanied by the open-access primary research journal, Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT). Leveraging the editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach of the Current Opinion legacy, CO+RE journals ensure they are widely read resources integral to scientists' workflows.
COBIOT is organized into themed sections, each reviewed once a year. These themes cover various areas of biotechnology, including analytical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, food biotechnology, energy biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, tissue, cell, and pathway engineering, chemical biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
