    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Pharmacology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Drug delivery systems are crucial for targeted therapeutic action.
    • Carriers can physically entrap or covalently bind drugs.
    • Targeting agents enhance drug efficacy and reduce side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review materials suggested as drug carriers.
    • To discuss mechanisms of action for targeting agents.
    • To evaluate the clinical potential of different carrier types.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of in vitro and in vivo experimental results.
    • Analysis of drug-carrier binding mechanisms (covalent vs. entrapment).
    • Assessment of monoclonal antibodies for targeted drug delivery and imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Various carrier materials show potential for drug delivery.
    • Monoclonal antibodies are effective for targeting cytotoxic agents to cancer cells.
    • Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies demonstrate utility in tumor radio-imaging.

    Conclusions:

    • Drug carriers offer targeted delivery strategies.
    • Monoclonal antibodies are particularly promising for cancer therapy and diagnosis.
    • Further development of antibody-based systems is expected for improved cancer treatment.
