TL;DR
In-vivo studies showed a reduction in tumor volume, increased accumulation of the drug in the brain, and enhanced antioxidant enzyme levels, with favorable pharmacokinetics, indicating that the nanoparticles are a promising system for the management of glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is an aggressive form of brain cancer with limited treatment therapies due to the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), which makes it challenging for most medications to cross it and the difficulty of achieving tumour-specific targeting. Transferrin receptors (TfR) are overexpressed on endothelial cells of the b...

Background: Herein, we report on the development of a novel submicron-sized formulation that utilizes the somatostatin receptor agonist, octreotide (OCT), for the solubilization and targeted delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and docetaxel (DTX) to the cancer cells. The formulation was prepared using a fast, single-step, and...
