説明

Oxaliplatin (trans-l-diaminocyclohexane oxalatoplatinum; l-OHP), a third-generation platinum antitumor drug, is currently approved in combination with 5-flurouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (FOLFOX) for standard first- and second-line treatment of metastatic or advanced-stage colorectal cancer. Despite l-OHP’s better tolerability in comparison with other platinum compounds such as cisplatin and carboplatin, its clinical efficiency is limited by the dose-limiting side effects including cumulative neurotoxicity and acute dysesthesias. In addition, like other platinum chemotherapeutic agents, l-OHP therapy is limited by reduced accumulation levels in tumor tissues, nonselective accumulation in healthy organs and/or tissues, inactivation by conjugation with glutathione, and the development of drug resistance. Accordingly, successful outcome of cancer treatment using l-OHP requires selective delivery of a relatively high concentration of the drug to tumor tissues. In this review we focus on utilization of different drug-delivery vehicles such as liposomes, polymeric nanocarriers, and carbon nanotubes in enhancing selective delivery of l-OHP to tumor tissues and consequently improving overall efficacy of l-OHP-containing drug-delivery systems.
