DEVELOPING ORGANIC AND INORGANIC NANOMEDICINE FOR CANCER THERAPY
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The application of nanomedicines has proved to be effective for the therapy of various types of cancer compared to conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The nanomedicines can treat various cancers with the precise target without affecting the normal cells. In addition, by utilizing of enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, nanomedicines can selectively targeting disease site and yield very promising therapeutic results for cancer treatment. Among all available nanomedicines, organic materials such as polymers are widely used in recent decades as biomaterials for their favorable properties like excellent biocompatibility, easy design and preparation, several types of structures and interesting biomimetic character, which warrants the further evaluations on these kinds of innovative material. Inorganic nanoparticles such nanogold also demonstrated the ability to target cancer and can be employed as both therapeutic and imaging agents. This mini-review will give a brief discussion of using inorganic and organic nanoparticles for the treatment of cancer.
