Targeted Nanostructured Lipid Carriers of Erlotinib using Transferrin for Enhanced Brain Delivery in Glioblastoma: Formulation and BBD-Based Optimization

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...

Octreotide-Mediated Co-Solubilization of Paclitaxel and Docetaxel: A Novel Targeted Formulation for Synergistic Anticancer Chemotherapy

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...

Design and Evaluation of PLGA-Based Hybrid Nanoparticles for Nasal Paclitaxel Delivery: Formulation Optimization, Barrier Transport, and Cytotoxicity Assessment

HNP–PTX is a promising candidate for further in vivo evaluation as an intranasal formulation for glioblastoma treatment and Cytotoxicity assays showed that HNP–PTX reduced cell viability more than both taxol and temozolomide (TMZ).
