    Transferrin-functionalized liposomes for targeted breast cancer therapy: Mechanistic insights, conjugation strategies, and translational evidence. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
    Clinically approved liposomal formulations such as Doxil® (PEGylated doxorubicin) and Myocet® (non-PEGylated doxorubicin) demonstrate improved pharmacokinetic profiles over free drug, yet rely solely on passive tumor accumulation via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, an approach rendered insufficient by tumor heterogeneity and variable vascularization, necessitating active targeting strategies. Despite their promise, clinical translation remains constrained by TfR1 receptor saturation, off-target uptake, conjugation-induced immunogenicity, anti-PEG antibody-mediated accelerated blood clearance, and GMP-compliant manufacturing challenges. Overcoming these barriers through pharmacokinetic optimization, standardized quality control, and scalable fabrication is imperative to unlock their full therapeutic potential in breast cancer.
