gambogic-acid and Acute-Kidney-Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome lacking effective pharmacotherapy. Gambogic acid (GA), as an active ingredient of herbal medicines, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that benefit the treatment of AKI, but its poor aqueous solubility limits effective renal delivery. We, for the first time, developed GA-based nanoparticles (GA-NPs) with preferential renal uptake for AKI treatment. By PEGylating with NH
