Abstract

Abstract: Due to the unique features,such as rich self-assembly driving forces,novel self-assembly nanostructures,multiple special capabilities and good biocompatibility,short peptide based self-assembled nanomaterials are extremely attractive as building blocks for nano-biomaterials,skin care and cosmetics,drug delivery,tissue engineering scaffolds and many other applications.Because the self-assembling peptides are constituted by natural amino acids,the self-assembled nanomaterials have low cell toxicity,controlled degradation,reduced of side effects of drugs,high delivery efficiency,enhanced drug targeting property,improved gene transfection efficiency and cellular uptake rate.Therefore,there will be promising prospect for the development of peptides used as drug and gene delivery.Using the peptide based self-assembled nanomaterials as the carrier of hydrophobic anticancer drugs,protein drugs,gene and other therapeutic agents has become the research priorities of biomedical science.The progress and applications of the self-assembled peptide based nanomaterials as a loaded carrier in the biomedical science were reviewed. Moreover,the interaction mechanism and characteristics of some bioactive peptide based materials with the therapeutic agents were also introduced.
