TLDR
The results described in this report suggest that the TriGalNAc ligand can serve as an excellent targeting device for delivery of PGA-conjugates to the liver hepatocytes, and rat hepatocytes possess sufficient capacity to digest PGA even modified with other substituents.

Development of Triantennary N-Acetylgalactosamine Conjugates as Degraders for Extracellular Proteins

TL;DR: In this article, the authors exploited the potential of the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), a lysosomal targeting receptor specifically expressed on liver cells, for the degradation of extracellular proteins including membrane proteins.

Glycodendrimeric nanoparticulate carriers of primaquine phosphate for liver targeting

TL;DR: The results obtained indicated that galactose coating of PPI systems increases the drug entrapment efficiency by 5-15 times depending upon generations, which can make the P PI systems more effective and suitable for targeted delivery of Primaquine phosphate to liver.

The role of anti-malarial drugs in eliminating malaria

TL;DR: More evidence is needed on the safety of primaquine when administered without screening for G6PD deficiency to inform individual and mass treatment approaches in the context of malaria elimination programmes.

Studies on a mammalian hepatic binding protein specific for asialoglycoproteins. Evidence for receptor recycling in isolated rat hepatocytes.

TL;DR: Results provide clear evidence for the stability of the binding receptor under conditions where the ligand is being continually destroyed and support the previously proposed recycling hypothesis.
