Abstract
Background: Chemotherapeutic drugs are principally intended to treat breast cancer. However, sooner or later, tumor drug resistance developed. These chemo drugs are effective but with numerous side effects. Breast cancer care may be extremely difficult since recurring cancer is frequently pre-treated with powerful agents. Cancer cells acquire high resistance to earlier therapies, necessitating alternative and more powerful drugs. Nanoparticles (NPs) as a medication delivery technology can overcome medication resistance in breast cancer and significantly reduce the effective dose. The off-targeted nature of chemo drugs can be resolved by encapsulating or attaching chemo drugs in nanocarriers, specifically targeting breast cancer cells.
Objectives: This review highlights various chemo drugs for breast cancer and their encapsulation or bioconjugation with nanoparticles for its targeted delivery.
Conclusion: Nanoparticles may subsist valuable abet in breast cancer management in this regard. Given that traditional chemotherapy approaches have been demonstrated to have several side effects and defects during treatment, the NPs-mediated drug delivery mechanism is a possible contender for replacement as a new technique.

Aims & Scope
Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery publishes review and research articles that reflect or deal with studies in relation to a patent, application of reported patents in a study, discussion of comparison of results regarding application of a given patent, etc., and also guest edited thematic issues on recent patents in the field of anti-cancer drug discovery e.g. on novel bioactive compounds, analogs, targets & predictive biomarkers & drug efficacy biomarkers. The journal also publishes book reviews of eBooks and books on anti-cancer drug discovery. A selection of important and recent patents on anti-cancer drug discovery is also included in the journal. The journal is essential reading for all researchers involved in anti-cancer drug design and discovery. The journal also covers recent research (where patents have been registered) in fast emerging therapeutic areas/targets & therapeutic agents related to anti-cancer drug discovery.
