Deceptive argumentation against diagnostic microdosing of anticancer drugs

Photoacoustic “nanobombs” fight against undesirable vesicular compartmentalization of anticancer drugs

Undesirable intracellular vesicular compartmentalization of anticancer drugs in cancer cells is a common cause of chemoresistance. Strategies aimed at circumventing this problem may improve chemotherapeutic efficacy. We report a novel photophysical strategy for controlled-disruption of vesicular sequestration of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), mod...

Chromatography of Anticancer Drugs

Chromatographic techniques have been developed and successfully applied for the analysis of a considerable of number of organic and inorganic compounds present at trace level in sometimes complicated accompanying matrices. The rapid development of new chromatographic instrumentation and separation strategies resulted in the increase of the number of chromatographic technologies with higher sepa...

Natural Based Anticancer Drugs and Their Worthiness

Nezw Drugs Anticancer chemotherapy

Though the selection and administration of cytotoxic drugs is usually restricted to specialist units, all doctors should be aware of both the available treatment and its associated problems. This review concerns new cytotoxic drugs and some new applications of current drugs. It is largely confined to drugs marketed in the United Kingdom in the past five years and drugs from abroad that are curr...
