Abstract:
Oral delivery of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs (CCDs) is subject matter in the 21st century, which changes the dosage regimens of oncotherapy with enhancement in patient's life and deducts the cost of therapy. The present report explored on the nano-oncology such as polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) as an oral CCDs delivery vehicle, showing great potential for colon cancer treatment. Proof-of-concept in vitro and in vivo results for delivery of CCDs using various oral PNPs are included in this review from the literatures. Subsequently, the gastrointestinal barriers for oral chemotherapy have been highlighted. Furthermore, PNPs achieving better accumulation in the cancer region by desirable quality of their passive- and active-targeting phenomena have also been highlighted.
