Abstract

Recently, molecule-based targeted therapy has achieved remarkable success in clinical, and opened up a new era particulraly in the field of cancer therapy. Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors are two pillars of this field. Additionally, a single-strand nucleic acid molecule called “chemical antibody” has also attracted increasing attention. These novel targeting agents are called “nucleic acid aptamers (aptamers)”. With high specificity and affinity for a variety of target molecules, nucleic acid aptamers represent a new direction in the gene targeting therapy. In this review, we summarizes the recent development of aptamers and their druggability.
