  • 10.3762/bjoc.11.22 Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to design and evaluate hybrid cyclodextrin (CD) nanocapsules intended for the oral delivery of the anticancer agent camptothecin (CPT) in order to maintain drug stability in the body and to improve its eventual bioavailability. For this
  • the molecules against the harsh environment [16]. In cancer therapy, a common problem is drug ineffectiveness because of physicochemical and biopharmaceutical problems of drugs and CPT is cited as a prime example. CPT is a very effective anticancer agent against a wide spectrum of cancers such as
  • nanocapsules for the oral delivery of the anticancer agent CPT, which has a limited clinical usage by maintaining its stability and improving its eventual bioavailability. For this reason, amphiphilic CD, 6OCAPRO (heptakis(6-O-hexanoyl)cyclomaltoheptose) was used as core polymer for nanocapsules. These

As can be seen from Table 3, these furanyl-functionalised terpyridines display, in many cases, better cytotoxicity than doxorubicin. Unfortunately, they are also more toxic toward normal cells (RPTEC). Note that
