NANOPARTICLES CARRYING NATURAL PRODUCT FOR DRUG DELIVERY

Abstract

Camptothecin, Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, Vincristine, and Etoposide are the naturally occurring anti-cancer drugs that are analyzed in this analysis. It is found that these compounds can be developed as nanomedicine. It has been determined from analyses that nanoparticles are useful in targeted drug delivery to address some of the innate issues. However, there are certain limitations that are found in nanomedicine. There is a need for more research to develop effective drugs in the future. A more detailed analysis of the same has been done in the following.
