Abstract
The second-generation taxane cabazitaxel has been clinically approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer after docetaxel failure. Compared with the first-generation taxanes paclitaxel and docetaxel, cabazitaxel has potent anticancer activity and is less prone to drug resistance due to its lower affinity for the P-gp efflux pump. The relatively high hydrophobicity of cabazitaxel and the poor aqueous colloidal stability of the commercial formulation, following its preparation for injection, presents opportunities for new cabazitaxel formulations with improved features. This review provides an overview of cabazitaxel drug formulations and hydrophobic taxane drug delivery systems in general, and particularly focuses on emerging cabazitaxel delivery systems discovered in the past 5 years. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.
期刊介绍:
Nanotechnology stands as one of the pivotal scientific domains of the twenty-first century, recognized universally for its transformative potential. Within the biomedical realm, nanotechnology finds crucial applications in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, highlighted as one of seven emerging research areas under the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. The advancement of this field hinges upon collaborative efforts across diverse disciplines, including clinicians, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, applied physicists, and toxicologists.
Recognizing the imperative for a high-caliber interdisciplinary review platform, WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology emerges to fulfill this critical need.
