Abstract:

Nano sized and targeted drugs have emerged as promising materials for the treatment of cancer. Traditionally used chemotherapy drugs have some disadvantages such as low drug loading capacity, uncontrolled structure, high reticuloendothelial system (RES) accumulation, unpredictable metabolic mechanism. In order to overcome these problems, nanoparticle based anticancer drugs have received great attention recently. Unlike traditionally used anticancer drugs, nanoparticle based anticancer drugs provide unique advantages such as simple synthesis, specific structure, high drug loading capacity, excellent accumulation in the tumor and low toxic effect. Therefore, drugs with high side effects and high therapeutic efficacy in cancer can be administered in the future with nanoparticles. Until now, significant progress has been made in the investigation of nanodrugs for use in the treatment of cancer. The biological properties and application of nanoparticle based drugs for cancer treatment summarized briefly in this review.
