Cisplatin-based Liposomal Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery in Lung Cancer Therapy: Recent Progress and Future Outlooks

: In order to improve the treatment of lung cancer, this paper looks at the development of cisplatinbased liposomal nanocarriers. It focuses on addressing the drawbacks of conventional cisplatin therapy, including systemic toxicity, inadequate tumor targeting, and drug resistance. Liposomes, or spherical lipid vesicles, offer a potentially effective way to encapsulate cisplatin, enhancing its transport and minimizing harmful effects on healthy tissues. The article discusses many liposomal cisplatin formulations, including pH-sensitive liposomes, sterically stabilized liposomes, and liposomes coupled with specific ligands like EGFR antibodies. These novel formulations show promise in reducing cisplatin resistance, optimizing pharmacokinetics, and boosting therapeutic results in the two in vitro and in vivo models. They also take advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in the direction of improved tumor accumulation. The study highlights the need for more investigation to move these liposomal formulations from experimental to clinical settings, highlighting their potential to offer less harmful and more effective cancer therapy alternatives.
