Platinum-based anticancer drugs encapsulated liposome and polymeric micelle formulation in clinical trials

چکیده
Platinum-based anticancer drugs are one of the most widely used drug classes in cancer therapy. Almost half of the chemotherapy regimens used today contains a platinum drug, such as cisplatin or carboplatin. However, the drug resistance and non-specific cytotoxicity ultimately limits broader application of these drugs. Improvement of drug targeting and delivery systems are effective approaches to mitigate these disadvantages. This review focuses on liposome and micelle-based formulations using in the delivery of platinum-based anticancer drugs in clinical trials.

Polymeric biomaterials for the delivery of platinum-based anticancer drugs.
Since cisplatin, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(ii), received FDA approval for use in cancer treatment in 1978, platinum-based drugs have been one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of tumors in testicles, ovaries, head and neck. However, there are concerns associated with the use of platinum-based anticancer drugs, owing to severe side effects and drug resistance. In order to overco...
متن کاملCarboplatin nanocapsules: a highly cytotoxic, phospholipid-based formulation of carboplatin.
Platinum-based drugs are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. However, their clinical use is limited by systemic toxicity, rapid blood clearance, and the occurrence of resistance. Our research is aimed at increasing the therapeutic index of these drugs by encapsulation in a lipid formulation. Previously, we developed a method for efficient encapsulation of cisplatin in a lipid formulation, yield...
متن کاملLiposome Delivery Systems for Inhalation: A Critical Review Highlighting Formulation Issues and Anticancer Applications
This is a critical review on research conducted in the field of pulmonary delivery of liposomes. Issues relating to the mechanism of nebulisation and liposome composition were appraised and correlated with literature reports of liposome formulations used in clinical trials to understand the role of liposome size and composition on therapeutic outcome. A major highlight was liposome inhalation f...
متن کاملLiposome-encapsulated aminoglycosides in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
Liposome-encapsulated amikacin has recently entered clinical trials. The rationale for liposome encapsulation of aminoglycosides is the possibility to increase the therapeutic index of this class of antibiotics by increasing aminoglycoside concentrations at the site of infection and/or by reducing the toxicity of these drugs. Three approaches can be distinguished: the use of liposomes as a depo...
متن کاملApplication of liposomal technologies for delivery of platinum analogs in oncology
Platinum-based chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and carboplatin, is one of the most widely utilized classes of cancer therapeutics. While highly effective, the clinical applications of platinum-based drugs are limited by their toxicity profiles as well as suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, one of the key research areas in oncology has been to develop novel platinum a...
