Doxorubicin and Paclitaxel-Loaded Lipid-Based Nanoparticles Overcome Multidrug Resistance by Inhibiting P-Glycoprotein and Depleting ATP

TL;DR: Enhanced uptake and prolonged retention of doxorubicin were observed with nanoparticle-based formulations in P-gp-overexpressing cells, and injection of pegylated paclitaxel nanoparticles showed marked anticancer efficacy in nude mice bearing resistant NCI/ADR-RES tumors versus all control groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sunitinib Malate for the Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

TL;DR: Sunitinib is a multiple tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor approved for the treatment of mRCC and GIST and has anti-tumor activity in patients with breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of New Lipid-Based Paclitaxel Nanoparticles Using Sequential Simplex Optimization

TL;DR: Cytotoxicity studies in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells showed that both nanoparticles have similar anticancer activities compared to Taxol, and Interestingly, PX BTM nanocapsules could be lyophilized without cryoprotectants and rapidly rehydrated with a complete retention of original physicochemical properties, in vitro release properties, and cytotoxicity profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

PD-1 Pathway Inhibitors: Immuno-Oncology Agents for Restoring Antitumor Immune Responses

TL;DR: A basic understanding of the role of PD‐1 in modulating the immune system and their use in the cancer treatment is provided, along with pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and cost considerations.
