| Abstract |
P21 activated kinases-1 (PAK-1)is implicated in various diseases. It is inhibited by thesmall molecule 'Inhibitor targeting PAK1 activation-3' (IPA-3), which is highly specific but metabolically unstable. To address this limitation we encapsulatedIPA-3 in sterically stabilized liposomes (SSL). SSL-IPA-3 averaged 139 nm in diameter,polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.05, and a zeta potential of -28.1, neither of which changed over 14 days; however, the PDI increased to 0.139. Analysis of liposomal IPA-3 levels demonstrated good stability, with 70% of IPA-3 remaining after 7 days. SSL-IPA-3 inhibited prostate cancer cell growth in vitro with comparable efficacy to free IPA-3. Excitingly, only a 2 day/week dose of SSL-IPA-3 was needed to inhibit the growth of prostate xenografts in vivo, while a similar dose of free IPA-3 was ineffective. These data demonstrate the development and clinical utility of a novel liposomal formulationfor the treatment of prostate cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 202. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 March 2016.
All research outputs
#194,412
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine
#5
of 1,520 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,375
of 312,895 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine
#1
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,520 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 312,895 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
