TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nanomedicine, in particular to a functionalized nano-selenium and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lung cancer is one of the common malignant tumors. Studies have found that angiogenesis is an important factor for tumor growth, metastasis and invasion. Tumor angiogenesis can provide nutrients and oxygen for the tumor microenvironment, and promote small, dormant tumors to transform into aggressive and migratory tumors. So far, a variety of anti-angiogenic agents have been applied to clinical research as effective anti-tumor drugs, including VEGF antibody beacizumab and tyrosine kinase inhibitors sorafenib, sunitinib and pazopanib. Although these drugs are considered to be non-toxic, due to the short duration, low hydrolysis capacity and low stability of such drugs, which seriously hinder the clinical application process. Therefore, in-depth study of the mechanism of tumor angiogenesis, finding new targets and therapeutic drugs to improve the survival status of lung cancer patients is a key problem to be solved at present.
