Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Every year, many anticancer drug candidates are discovered and synthesized, but the major challenge lies in identifying, characterizing and evaluating their efficacy. The aim of this Research Topic, "New Mechanisms for Anti-Cancer Drugs" is to collect a group of publications focused on novel chemical compounds exhibiting new modes of actions and/or new target proteins to fulfill their cytotoxic activity on cancer cells. In this context, we will also be pleased to consider studies on drug repurposing, including approved, discontinued, and shelved drugs, when anti-cancer activity results from an unexpected mode of action.
Brain diseases and disorders, such as dementia and glioblastoma, are among the deadliest diseases in humans, and put an overwhelming burden on healthcare systems. Despite recent progress in elucidating the causes of brain diseases, a limited amount of effective therapeutics have been developed. One major obstacle is the efficient delivery of therapeutic agents across the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) into the affected region of the brain. Utilizing nanoparticles as a drug delivery system provides a simple and effective approach, with improved efficacy and bioavailability. In the last two decades, numerous advances have been made in this field, which will bring nanomedicine closer to the clinic and bring new therapeutic options for the treatment of brain diseases which have proved challenging to treat. Such advancements include improvements in the novel design of nanoparticles with tissue compatibility, versatile loading capacity, BBB penetration ability and greater target specificity.
Novel Platforms for Drug Delivery Applications covers diverse aspects in the design, synthesis and characterization of novel drug delivery platforms and devices. This book comprehensively details the development, application and performance of various novel molecular frameworks as potent drug delivery vehicles. Chapters cover a range of materials and molecular platforms for drug delivery, from hydrogels, nanocarriers and metal-organic-frameworks, to ?-cyclodextrin and polyphosphazene. Each chapter discusses the benefits and limitations of each drug delivery system, as well as toxicological and safety implications. This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to this fast-moving topic, bridging the disciplines of materials science and pharmacology. - Provides an up-to-date single resource on novel drug delivery platforms, a rapidly evolving field of research - Covers a broad range of materials, systems and release mechanisms, including in vivo and in vitro studies - Describes the synthesis, properties, formulation and application of various novel drug delivery systems
