Delivery systems for oxidation modulators, including antioxidants and reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducers, offer targeted treatment for inflammatory diseases and cancer. This review analyzes current designs and applications, highlighting future research directions.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Materials Science
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Oxidation modulators like antioxidants and reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducers are crucial in disease treatment.
- A systematic review on delivery systems for modulating oxidative levels is currently lacking.
- Understanding these systems is vital for advancing biomedical applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and analyze delivery systems for oxidation modulators.
- To summarize applications in inflammatory disease treatment and tumor therapy.
- To identify future research prospects for intelligent delivery strategies.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of pilot designs for oxidative modulator delivery systems.
- Analysis of applications in inflammatory and cancer treatments.
- Exploration of current and future research trends.
Main Results:
- Antioxidant delivery systems can reduce ROS levels for inflammatory diseases (e.g., skin repair, neurodegenerative disorders).
- ROS inducer delivery systems can increase ROS levels to eliminate tumor cells.
- Current designs focus on targeted modulation of oxidative stress.
Conclusions:
- Delivery systems offer promising strategies for treating inflammatory conditions and cancer by modulating oxidative stress.
- Further research is needed to develop intelligent and novel delivery concepts.
- Targeted delivery of oxidation modulators holds significant therapeutic potential.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
