Abstract:
Cisplatin is one of the leading chemotherapy drugs currently used in clinical settings. However, its serious side effects and its resistance developed by tumor cells hinder its usage. To decrease its side effects and maintain anti-cancer efficiency, various cisplatin based formulations were developed. In this minireview, we summarized the recent progress of cisplatin delivery strategies, including direct delivery, prodrug delivery and combination delivery. Key challenges preventing the development of improved drug formulations were identified, and effective approaches to address these issues were discussed in the context of these recent works.

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...

Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
