Abstract:Introduction. Doxorubicin is an anticancer chemotherapy drug that has cardiotoxic, hepatotoxic, and nephrotoxic effects. To reduce the toxic effects of doxorubicin, its nanosomal form, PLGA-doxorubicin [Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid)], has been developed. PLGA is a biodegradable polymer used as a drug delivery system. The nephrotoxic effects of PLGA-doxorubicin have not been studied yet. The aim was to compare the nephrotoxic effects of therapeutic doses of doxorubicin in standard form (Dox) and PLGA-doxorubici… 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.
