POLYLACTIDE-CO-GLYCOLIDE NANOPARTICLES THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS IN CANCER
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Anticancer therapy majorly hindered by drug low water solubility, poor drug permeability, and high efflux of drug from cells. Nanotechnology is severing as an important tool to overcome these problems of cancer drug therapy. Nanomaterials have been used to enhance drug delivery at targeted site with less toxicity to healthy cells. Biodegradable polyester, polylactide-co-glycolide is approved for use for humans. Review is focusing on recent developments concerning polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles prepared for cancer treatment. We have reviewed, methods used for the preparation and characterization of polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles and their applications in the delivery of a number of active agents. Polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles have provided the necessary momentum for promising future use of these agents in cancer treatment, with higher efficacy and fewer side effects.
