Oncological diseases are one of the most significant medical and social diseases in most countries of the world. Over the past decades, the search and development of new drugs, treatment regimens and methods of molecular diagnostics of malignant neoplasms remains relevant. In turn, an important goal of molecular genetic research is to suppress the expression of genes responsible for the development of tumors. The key targets taken into account in the development of antitumor drugs are proteins involved in carcinogenic changes in the cell. One of the promising molecular targets for the development of medicinal compounds in targeted therapy of tumor diseases is poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP1). A potential way to inhibit PARP1 even at the stage of protein translation is RNA interference due to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). For the penetration of siRNAs into the target cell, it is necessary to develop a method of their transportation controlled in space and time. An actual direction for solving this problem is the use of highly stable porous silicon-based nanoparticles. In the current study, in order to increase the functionality of nanoparticles, their surface was modified with various agents (functionalization), providing increased efficiency of drug loading and more uniform release.
