Targeted dual-responsive nanocapsules for synergistic cisplatin and paclitaxel prodrug delivery in the treatment of lung cancer

Background The clinical application of traditional chemotherapy for treating patients with lung cancer is restricted by its poor targeting efficacy and severe systemic toxicity. In this study, we developed an acid-sensitive lipid-polymer nanocapsule (PTX/Pt@RGD) for the co-delivery of a redox-sensitive paclitaxel (PTX)...

Multifunctional nanoparticles for co-delivery of elacridar and paclitaxel for breast cancer local treatment.

In an in vivo model of breast cancer, intraductal H-NPs reduced tumor incidence and volume compared to a drug solution, and increased the mammary tissue-to-plasma ratio of paclitaxel by 105-fold, supporting an improved tissue retention, support H-NPs as promising platforms for localized breast cancer therapy.
