Ready for a comeback of natural products in oncology.
Since the late 1990s and the rapid expansion of monoclonal antibodies and synthetic protein kinase inhibitors in oncology, anticancer natural products fell out of fashion with the pharmaceutical industry. But in 2007 with the approval of three new drugs derived from natural products, the emergence of promising antitumor compounds from microorganisms (e.g. alvespimycin, salinosporamide) and the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of synthetic zeolites as oral delivery vehicle for anti-inflammatory drugs
Objective(s): In this research, zeolite X and zeolite Y were used as vehicle to prepare intestine targeted oral delivery systems of indomethacin and ibuprofen. Materials and Methods: A soaking procedure was implemented to encapsulate indomethacin or ibuprofen within synthetic zeolites. Gravimetric methods and IR spectra of prepared formulations were used to assess drug loading efficiencies into...
متن کاملTherapeutic Discovery Targeted Nanogels: A Versatile Platform for Drug Delivery to Tumors
Although nanoparticle-based drug delivery formulations can improve the effectiveness and safety of certain anticancer drugs, many drugs, due to their chemical composition, are unsuitable for nanoparticle loading. Here, we describe a targeted nanogel drug delivery platform that can (i) encapsulate a wide range of drug chemotypes, including biological, small molecule, and cytotoxic agents; (ii) d...

متن کاملOrganic nanoscale drug carriers coupled with ligands for targeted drug delivery in cancer
Nanoscale carriers are of increasing interest for use in anticancer therapy because they can deliver drugs in a targeted way. Ideally, nanocarriers combine passive and active delivery mechanisms, by integrating targeting ligands on the surface of their stealth corona using simple and efficient conjugation chemistry. This feature article summarizes the conventional and newly explored conjugation...
