Dopamine-conjugated apoferritin protein nanocage for the dual-targeting delivery of epirubicin
Objective(s): Nanocarriers are drug delivery vehicles, which have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years, particularly in cancer treatment. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs using protein nanocages is considered to be an optimal approach to reducing drug side-effects and increasing the bioavailability of anticancer drugs. Epirubicin (EPR) is an active chemotherapeutic medica...
متن کاملRecent Developments in the Field of Anticancer Metallopharmaceuticals
Metallopharmaceuticals play an important role in contemporary society as therapeutic and diagnostic agents. Many metallopharmaceuticals have been developed to treat/cure a variety of cancers. Besides platinum compoundscisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, tetraplatin, satraplatin etc., non-platinum compounds viz. NAMI-A, KP1019, KP46, auranofin and As2O3 etc. have shown promising results and man...
متن کاملComparison of theoretical effects of encapsulation floxuridine anticancer drug with boron nitride nanotube and carbon nanotube with NBO and QTAIM studies
Background: The purpose of using nano-carriers for drugs delivery, such as nanotubes, is slow release of drug and reducing side effects of drugs. Drugs are very active due to their many functional groups. Therefore, reactivity of drug is reduced by being in nanotube field due to electronic resonance of drug with nanotube and it stays longer in body. As a result, less amount of drug is used and ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cis-Diammine (1,1-cyclobutane dicarboxylate) Platinum(II)
Platinum-based anticancer drugs are chemotherapeutic agents to treat cancer. Carboplatin (cis diammine cyclobutane dicarboxylate platinum (II)) is a second generation drug that has less toxic than cisplatin, allowing for high dosages. In the first stage, 1,3-Cyclobutane dicarboxylic acid, a key intermediate for the preparation of carboplatin, have been synthesized in good yields using diffe...
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...
