A pH-sensitive polymeric carrier was developed in this study for local delivery of anticancer drug bortezomib (BTZ) to cancer cells. Our strategy is based on the conjugation of BTZ to polymeric carriers containing catechol groups, which are considered to release BTZ selectively in cancer cells. In
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has a significant effect on the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and advanced primary liver cancer, but it still faces severe side effects. Considering these problems, red blood cell membrane-camouflaged ATO-loaded sodium alginate nanoparticles (RBCM-SA-ATO-NPs,
To achieve an enhanced anticancer effect of drug to treat colorectal cancer, a dual-targeted (i.e., ligand-tailored and pH-triggered) multiparticulate system has been designed to deliver drug directly into the colon domain. In this regard, folic acid-grafted solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) bearing
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. A main problem for its treatment is resistance to chemotherapy, requiring the development of new drugs. The success rate of new candidate cancer drugs in clinical trials remains dismal. Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture
Curcumin diglutaric acid (CG) is a prodrug of curcumin that shows better solubility and antinociceptive activity compared to curcumin. To improve its properties further, CG was encapsulated into polysaccharide-based nanoparticles in this study. A chitosan/alginate nanoparticulate system was chosen
The present study aims to investigate the efficacy of the novel biopolymeric complex multiparticulate system consisting of chitosan succinate and alginate for the capecitabine-targeted delivery to colon cancer. A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the CS-SA beads by considering the effect of
Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems enhance cancer treatment by direct entry of nanometer particles into the fenestration in the vasculature of cancer cells. Nanoparticles for encapsulation of anticancer drugs are preferably prepared using natural polymers as carriers, with polysaccharides being
Perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions are a new class of multifunctional stimuli-responsive nanocarriers which combine the properties of passive-targeted drug carriers, ultrasound imaging contrast agents, and ultrasound-responsive drug delivery systems. Doxorubicin-loaded alginate stabilized perflourohexane
Natural herbal compounds have been widely introduced as an alternative therapeutic approach in cancer therapy. Despite potent anticancer activity of curcumin, its clinical application has been limited because of low water solubility and resulting poor bioavailability. In this study, we designed a
Ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) from Mirabilis jalapa L. leaves has cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cell lines but is less toxic towards normal cells. However, it can easily be degraded after administration so it needs to be formulated into nanoparticles to increase its resistance to
Interventional embolization therapy is an effective, most widely used method for inoperable liver tumors. Blood-vessel-embolic agents were essential in transarterial embolization (TAE). In this work, thermo-sensitive composite hydrogels based on poloxamer 407, sodium alginate, hydroxymethyl
In recent years, it is prevalent to treat various kinds of the tumors through microwave ablation method. However, it is still very difficult to ablate large tumors by the traditional microwave ablation therapy. In this work, an effective microwave embolization agent designed by encapsulating
Ample attention has been devoted to the construction of anti-cancer drug delivery systems with increased stability, and controlled and targeted delivery, minimizing toxic effects. In this study we have designed a magnetically attractive hydroxyapatite (m-HAP) based alginate polymer bound nanocarrier
Chemotherapy is a widely adopted method for the treatment of cancer. However, its use is often limited due to side effects produced by anti-cancer drugs. Therefore, various drug carriers, including polymeric micelles, have been investigated to find a method to overcome this limitation. In this
A remarkable approach to a specific tumor angiogenesis model in vivo is the use of alginate implants encapsulating tumor cells. However, this previously reported approach has often been questioned because of doubts regarding the relevance of hemoglobin at the alginate implant as a parameter of
