Abstract:Lipophilic formulation is an invaluable technique for the delivery of cancer drugs. Incorporation of poorly soluble and toxic compounds into a lipophilic carrier vehicle improves both the stability and compatibility in blood and body fluids. Currently, although a large proportion of novel cancer drugs are poorly water soluble, most existing drug carriers are only able to encapsulate hydrophilic drugs. As the ultimate goal of drug delivery (in particular cancer drug delivery) is to achieve high therapeutic effe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
