Natural Product Drug Delivery Methods for Oncology

Abstract

Growing interest in natural anticancer therapies has been noted in recent decades, primarily as a result of unresolved medication resistance issues. Many in vitro and in vivo studies have shown how natural chemicals can inhibit tumour growth by affecting various cellular processes and signalling pathways. By improving the bioavailability and in vivo stability, lowering side effects, and enhancing target-specific activity, the incorporation converting organic materials into various delivery methods may significantly improve their anticancer efficacy. The research works that relate to nanostructured systems with natural substances for innovative drug delivery methods in anticancer therapy will be the main emphasis of this review. These systems have the potential to overcome many of the limitations of traditional drug delivery methods, such as poor solubility and stability, low bioavailability, and variable pharmacokinetics. They can also give specific delivery of the affected area while minimizing the side effects. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the possibilities of nanostructured medication delivery methods provide some safe and effective cancer-treatment methods patients. Nanostructured medication delivery methods can improve drug solubility, bioavailability, and consistency, and also provide controlled and targeted the drug's release to the affected area. This would reduce the amount of drug needed, making it more cost-effective, and decrease the side effects of the drugs. As such, these systems could provide a more effective treatment for cancer patients. Nanostructured drug delivery systems could revolutionize the way cancer is treated, and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, such systems could be used in other applications, such as targeted release of other therapeutic agents. Nevertheless, moreover, potential drawbacks to using nanostructured medication delivery mechanisms. One such drawback is that These devices are still in the initial stages of development, and have not yet been proven to be effective. Additionally, there is a risk that the drugs delivered by these systems could be toxic, and cause side effects. Keywords: natural products: drug discovery: drug delivery systems, nanoparticles
