The invention is a drug delivery system of a delivery vehicle having a low molecular weight hyaluronan ligand with an affinity for CD44 receptors. Preferably, the delivery vehicle is a liposome but other suitable delivery vehicles include microspheres, micelles, emulsions, lipid discs, polymers, viral particles and viruses. The systems of the invention may further comprise a drug, which can be any anticancer agent or other therapeutic or diagnostic agent. The invention also comprises methods of delivering a drug to a cell that expresses CD44 by contacting the cell with the drug delivery system. Further methods include treating a patient with cancer and targeting drug delivery to cells that express CD44 by attaching a glycosaminoglycan ligand.

L'invention concerne un système d'apport de médicament au moyen d'un véhicule d'apport possédant un ligand hyaluronan de faible poids moléculaire, doté d'une affinité pour les récepteurs de CD44. De préférence, le véhicule d'apport est un liposome, mais on peut utiliser d'autres véhicules appropriés, notamment des microsphères, des micelles, des émulsions, des disques lipidiques, des polymères, des particules virales et des virus. Les systèmes de l'invention peuvent en outre comprendre un médicament, lequel peut être un agent anticancéreux ou un autre agent thérapeutique ou diagnostique. L'invention concerne encore des procédés d'apport d'un médicament, à une cellule qui exprime CD44, lesquels consistent à mettre en contact la cellule avec le système d'apport de médicament. D'autres procédés consistent à traiter un patient atteint de cancer, et à cibler un apport de médicament vers des cellules exprimant CD44, en attachant un ligand glycosaminoglycane.
