“…The NPs offer a platform to co-encapsulate various pairs of drugs with varying hydrophobicity and pharmacokinetic profiles ensuring simultaneous long term distribution to the target site. Such NP co-formulations can extend the drugs’ circulation time ( Tian et al, 2017 ), sustain drug release ( Khuroo et al, 2018 ) and also inhibit development of drug resistance ( Misra and Sahoo, 2011 ) as well as increase drug accumulation in tumors ( Afrooz et al, 2017 ). Among the many combinations co-loaded in one particle are PTX-Cisplatin ( Tian et al, 2017 ), PTX-Erlotinib ( Khuroo et al, 2018 ), DOX-CUR ( Misra and Sahoo, 2011 ), PTX-Verapamil ( Afrooz et al, 2017 ), and PTX-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).…”
