abstract

the application of chemotherapy in cancer treatment has been limited due to cause side effects such as toxicity against normal cells and drug resistance. in recent years, numerous studies have been focused on using natural products with chemotherapeutic drugs to enhance therapeutic efficiency and reduce cytotoxicity. on the other hand, encapsulation of drugs into nanoparticles (nps) can improve solubility of hydrophobic drug; circulation time in blood and the residence at the pathological site by enhance permeation and retention (epr) effect. it has been shown that curcumin (cur) has  wide range of pharmacological activities against many diseases such as cancer. cur has been demonstrated to be a potent chemosensitizer that can induce additive or synergistic effects with chemotherapeutic drugs against different cancer cell lines.  recently, various types of nanocarriers have been investigated for cur.  in this review, different co-formulations containing cur and chemotherapeutic drugs used in cancer therapy are discussed with emphasis on their pharmaceutical properties.

Nanocarrier-mediated co-delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and gene agents for cancer treatment

The efficacy of chemotherapeutic drug in cancer treatment is often hampered by drug resistance of tumor cells, which is usually caused by abnormal gene expression. RNA interference mediated by siRNA and miRNA can selectively knock down the carcinogenic genes by targeting specific mRNAs. Therefore, combining chemotherapeutic drugs with gene agents could be a promising strategy for cancer therapy...
