Abstract

Thymol is a naturally occurring compound found in the essential oils of thyme, oregano, and other plants. It has been shown to have a variety of pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. In recent years, researchers have investigated the potential of thymol as an anticancer agent. However, thymol has limited solubility and poor bioavailability, which limits its use as a therapeutic agent. To overcome these limitations, researchers have developed various nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDS) to improve the efficacy of thymol. In this article, we will review the current state of research on thymol NDDS with anti-tumor activity.
纳米技术作为提高百里酚生物活性的工具:综述
百里酚是一种天然化合物,存在于百里香、牛至和其他植物的精油中。它已被证明具有多种药理活性,包括抗菌、抗氧化和抗炎特性。近年来,研究人员对百里酚作为抗癌剂的潜力进行了研究。然而,百里酚的溶解度有限,生物利用度较低,这限制了它作为治疗剂的使用。为了克服这些限制,研究人员开发了各种纳米给药系统(NDDS),以提高百里酚的疗效。本文将回顾具有抗肿瘤活性的百里酚 NDDS 的研究现状。
