What Are Some Examples of Innovative Drug Formulations?
Targeted Drug Delivery: This method involves designing drugs that specifically target cancer cells, sparing healthy tissues. Examples include tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Nanoparticle-Based Therapy: Nanoparticles can be engineered to carry drugs directly to tumor cells. They can also be used to improve the solubility and stability of drugs. Immunotherapy: This approach uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Examples include checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy. Bioconjugates: These are drugs that are chemically linked to molecules like antibodies, peptides, or proteins to improve their targeting and efficacy. Liposome-Based Formulations: Liposomes are small vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their delivery and reducing toxicity.
