Nanoparticle-targeted Drug
A complex consisting of a therapeutic entity coupled to a nanoparticle entity that has an external coating designed to deliver the therapeutic to a precise location in the body. This complex is useful because of the ability to deliver drugs in a controlled fashion to a specific site of interest. Conjugates such as this are also utilized as imaging and contrast agents for MRI and other imaging studies. (NCI Thesaurus)
