A composition comprising intact minicells that contain a drug molecule is useful for targeted drug delivery. One targeted drug delivery method employs bispecific ligands, comprising a first arm that carries specificity for a bacterially derived minicell surface structure and a second arm that carries specificity for a mammalian cell surface receptor, to target drug-loaded minicells to specific mammalian cells and to cause endocytosis of the minicells by the mammalian cells. Another drug delivery method exploits the natural ability of phagocytic mammalian cells to engulf minicells without the use of bispecific ligands.

The invention is an apparatus and method for treatments and targeted drug delivery into a living patient, particularly but not exclusively using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The apparatus and method are useful in delivery to all types of living tissue and uses MR Imaging to track the location of drug delivery and estimating the rate of drug delivery. An MR-visible drug delivery device positioned at a target site (e.g., intracranial delivery) delivers a diagnostic or therapeutic drug solution into the tissue (e.g., the brain). The spinal distribution kinetics of the injected or infused drug agent are monitored quantitatively and non-invasively using water proton directional diffusion MR imaging to establish the efficacy of drug delivery at a targeted location.

The invention discloses functional albumin and a preparation method of a nano preparation of the functional albumin. The nano preparation of the functional albumin consists of the functional albumin, metal ions and a drug; the metal ions can simultaneously form coordination bonds with the functional albumin and the drug, and can form nanoparticles through induced self-assembly. The nano preparation, through an endocytosis mediated by an albumin receptor (SPARC) on the surface of tumor cells, can deliver the drug into the drug-resistant tumor cells, so as to effectively avoid the exocytosis effect of a p-gp pump on the drug, and then as the coordination bonds break in an acid tumor cell environment through a pH responsibility, the drug releases in cytoplast, enters cell nucleus and inlays in DNA so as to inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid; and therefore, the growth of the tumor cells is inhibited. Through in vitro characterization, the nano preparation can achieve the relatively good pH responsibility; and through activity evaluation on a cellular level, the system is capable of effectively delivering the drug into the cells, so as to achieve relatively good pH responsive release.
