ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Paclitaxel is an effective chemotherapeutic agent against a variety of cancer types. However, the clinical utility of paclitaxel is restricted by its poor solubility in water and high toxicity, resulting in low drug tolerance. These difficulties could be resolved by using suitable pharmacological carriers. Hence, it is essential to determine innovative methods of administering this effective medication to overcome paclitaxel's inherent limitations.METHODS:
An extensive literature search was conducted using multiple electronic databases to identify relevant studies published.RESULTS:
In this comprehensive analysis, many different paclitaxel delivery systems are covered and discussed, such as albumin-bound paclitaxel, polymeric micelles, paclitaxel-loaded liposomes, prodrugs, cyclodextrins, and peptide-taxane conjugates. Moreover, the review also covers various delivery routes of conventional paclitaxel or novel paclitaxel formulations, such as oral administration, local applications, and intraperitoneal delivery.CONCLUSION:
In addition to albumin-bound paclitaxel, polymeric micelles appear to be the most promising formulations for innovative drug delivery systems at present. A variety of variants of polymeric micelles are currently undergoing advanced phases of clinical trials.Palabras clave
