Several nanomedicines show promise as possible therapeutic agents for reducing cardiotoxicity
Nanomedicine | Therapeutic agent | Size (nm) | Concluding remarks | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|
Liposomes | Doxorubicin | 98 nm | Results were encouraging when liposomal doxorubicin was used alone or when free doxorubicin and free quercetin were administered together. | 62 |
Liposomes | Doxorubicin | - | As a first-line treatment for MBC, Myocet enhances doxorubicin's therapeutic index by lowering grade 4 neutropenia and cardiotoxicity while maintaining antitumor activity that is equivalent to that of cyclophosphamide alone. | 63 |
Solid lipid nanoparticles | Doxorubicin | 96 nm | Research suggests that RGD-DOX-SLNs might be an effective new lipid carrier for breast cancer treatment, based on anticancer findings in both vitro and vivo. | 64 |
Solid lipid nanoparticles | Resveratrol | 271 nm | Res-SLN protects the myocardium and lessens DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, indicating a therapeutic benefit. | 65 |
Solid lipid nanoparticles | Hesperidin | 175 nm | The findings suggest that HES-SLN may protect the heart from DOX-induced damage by reducing oxidative stress and cell death. | 66 |
Iron oxide nanoparticles | - | 9.8 nm | Fe2O3 NPs can cure cardiovascular problems since they do not cause any major harm to normal cardiomyocytes. | 67 |
Iron oxide nanoparticles | Epirubicin | 51 nm | By analyzing tumors using MRI, this compound may effectively detect malignancies and, in vivo, limit tumor development. | 68 |
Micelles | Green Tea Catechin, Doxorubicin | 130-140 nm | The results indicated that PIC micelles derived from EGCG may successfully counteract cardiotoxicity caused by DOX and multidrug resistance. | 69 |
