ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The use of nanocarriers as drug delivery systems for therapeutic or imaging agents can improve the pharmacological properties of commonly used compounds in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Advances in the surface engineering of nanoparticles to accommodate targeting ligands turned nanocarriers attractive candidates for future work involving targeted drug delivery. Although not targeted, several nanocarriers have been approved for clinical use and they are currently used to treat and/or diagnosis various types of cancers. Furthermore, there are several formulations, which are now in various stages of clinical trials. This review examined some approved formulations and discussed the advantages of using nanocarriers in cancer therapy.
RESUMO
RESUMO A utilização de nanocarreadores como sistemas de entrega de drogas para agentes terapêuticos ou de imagem pode aumentar as propriedades farmacológicas dos compostos normalmente utilizados no tratamento e diagnóstico de câncer. Avanços em engenharia de superfície de nanopartículas para a acomodação de ligantes alvo têm feito dos nanocarreadores candidatos atrativos para um futuro trabalho envolvendo entrega de droga direcionada. Embora não direcionados, muitos nanocarreadores terapêuticos foram aprovados para uso clínico no tratamento e/ou diagnóstico de vários tipos de câncer. Além disso, há várias outras formulações que se encontram agora em estágio de testes clínicos. Este artigo de revisão examinou algumas formulações aprovadas e discutiu as vantagens da utilização de nanocarreadores na terapia de câncer.
