چکیده

colloidal carriers composed of lipids attract much attention in the development of safer and more effective therapy of various diseases. the advantages of lipid-based nanoparticles are illustrated on the example of paclitaxel, a challenging chemotherapeutic drug for the development of a novel and more suitable dosage form for cancer treatment. paclitaxel is known for its water insolubility and serious side effects when administered by its conventional formulation (taxol). this paper reviews the reasons of further re-formulation of paclitaxel and summarizes the achievements of lipid nanoparticle-based formulations of this drug.

Enabling Anticancer Therapeutics by Nanoparticle Carriers: The Delivery of Paclitaxel

Anticancer drugs, such as paclitaxel (PTX), are indispensable for the treatment of a variety of malignancies. However, the application of most drugs is greatly limited by the low water solubility, poor permeability, or high efflux from cells. Nanoparticles have been widely investigated to enable drug delivery due to their low toxicity, sustained drug release, molecular targeting, and additional...
