Nanotherapeutics in the treatment of Cancer: Advances to Improve Efficacy, Bioavailability and Safety

The application of nanotechnology in the field of Medicine has rewarded all “P’s”-patients’ physicians and pharmaceutical companies. Nanotherapeutics have helped in overcoming the major limitations of the 1st generation drugs developed for the disease. Despite the major benefits achieved like protecting the normal cells from the lethality of the chemotherapy drugs, research and development is aggressively being pursued to further improve on the efficacy, specificity, targeting only the tumor site, overcoming multidrug resistance etc. The list goes on lighting hopes for better outcomes for cancer treatments. In this report we focus on the evolution of nanotherapeutics in the treatment of cancer and the advances being made in this area.

The list of approved drugs is large but pales in front of the list of drugs under development and in the clinic. Needless to state that the commercial rewards for the approved drugs are fuelling the pipeline!

A new approach for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drug is being pursued known as Nanodrug Co-Delivery System (NDCDS), in which two chemotherapeutic drugs with different physicochemical and pharmacological properties are incorporated into a single drug delivery system. The combination of chemotherapeutic drugs and other drugs target the different cellular pathway and works through different mechanisms.

In this report we discuss the promise of the novel approach, some of the drugs in the pipeline the companies, and the global market opportunity.
