PEGylated polymeric nanoparticles are hereby presented as a potential efficient drug carrier for the delivery of active therapeutic molecules in prion experimental diseases. Based on their blood long-circulating characteristics, these PEGylated particles made by the amphiphilic copolymer poly [methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) cyanoacrylate-co-hexadecyl cyanoacrylate] (PEG-PHDCA), showed comparatively conventional non-PEGylated nanoparticles, a higher uptake by the spleen and the brain which are both the target tissues of PrPres accumulation in scrapie infected animals.
