Emerging Trends in Nano-Theranostics: Platinum-based Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer Treatment

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the most common and frequently used technology that aims to improve the efficacy of medical procedures, sometimes known as Nanomedicine. With their impressive pharmacological efficacy as nanomedicines and delivery systems, nano materials have been recognized as attractive diagnostic and chemotherapeutic tools to treat diseases. To treat a wide range of solid malignant tumors, Drugs built on platinum complexes are now the foundation for many other therapies. They are often used to treat a varietym of solid tumors in the clinic, including head and neck, colorectal, lung and other malignancies. Cell-specific targeting with nano-carriers is possible using both active and passive techniques. This paper provides a thorough overview of platinum-based drug delivery system with the help of nanotechnology. Their mechanisms of action used in the treatment of cancer and potential for further development are all anticipated.
