What Are Some Examples of Green Chemistry in Cancer Research?
1. Biodegradable Polymers: These are being developed for use in [drug delivery systems]() that can release cancer drugs at a controlled rate and then degrade safely within the body. 2. Green Solvents: Researchers are using non-toxic, biodegradable solvents such as water or [supercritical carbon dioxide]() for the synthesis of anti-cancer drugs. 3. Photodynamic Therapy: This involves the use of light-activated drugs that produce reactive oxygen species to kill cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy cells.
