As one of the leading and most important metal-based drugs, platinum-based pharmaceuticals are widely used in the treatment of solid malignancies. Despite significant side effects and acquired drug resistance have limited their clinical applications, platinum has shown strong inhibitory effects for a wide assortment of tumors. Drug delivery systems using emerging technologies such as liposomes, dendrimers, polymers, nanotubes and other nanocompositions, all show promise for the safe delivery of platinum-based compounds. Due to the specificity of nano-formulations; unwanted side-effects and drug resistance can be largely averted. In addition, combinational therapy has been shown to be an effective way to improve the efficacy of platinum based anti-tumor drugs. This review first introduces drug delivery systems used for platinum and combinational therapeutic delivery. Then we highlight some of the recent advances in the field of drug delivery for combinational therapy; specifically progress in leveraging the cytotoxic nature of platinum-based drugs, the combinational effect of other drugs with platinum, while evaluating the drug targeting, side effect reducing and sitespecific nature of nanotechnology-based delivery platforms.

A major problem associated with prostate cancer treatment is the development of drug resistance. The development of drug resistance often leads to prostate cancer metastasis and prostate cancer-targeted drug delivery systems can be utilized to address this problem. Traditional drug delivery systems have many challenges, including the inability to control the drug release rate, target site inaccuracy, susceptibility to the microenvironment, poor drug solubility, and cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutics to non-malignant cells. As a result, there is an urgent need to formulate and functionalize a drug delivery system that better controls drug release. This study was designed to quantify the release of SC-514 from SC-514 Polylactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) nanoparticles and conjugate SC-514-PLGA coated nanoparticles with the NF- κβ antibody, as well as fats. This study further explored new methods to quantify the release of SC-514 drug from the SC-514-PLGA coated nanoparticles after utilizing Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) as the standard method to quantify SC-514 drug released. After quantification was completed, cell viability studies indicated that the ligand conjugated nanoparticles demonstrated a considerable ability to reduce tumor growth and SC-514 drug toxicity in the PC-3 cell line. The prepared drug delivery systems also possessed a significantly lower toxicity (P<0.05), bettered controlled-release behaviors in prostate cancer, and increased the solubility of SC-514 in comparison to free SC-514. SC-514 released from SC-514-PLGA, SC-514-PLGA-NF- κβAb, and SC-514-PLGA-Fat nanoparticles, significantly inhibited tumor growth when compared to that of free SC-514. The anti-cancer therapeutic effects of SC-514 were improved through the encapsulation of SC-514 with a PLGA polymer. The functionalized SC-514-PLGA nanoparticles can further control burst release. The new methods utilized in this study for quantifying drug release, may prove to be as effective as the current standard methods, such as LC/MS.

The use of various bioerodable polymers as drug delivery systems has gained considerable interest in recent years. Among some of the shapes used as delivery systems are films, rods and microcapsules. The work presented here will deal with the techniques we have utilized for the analysis of the tissue reaction to and actual biodegradation of injectable microcapsules. This work has utilized light microscopic (LM), transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopic techniques. The design of our studies has utilized methodology that would; 1. best characterize the actual degradation process without artifacts introduced by fixation procedures and 2. allow for reproducible results.In our studies, the gastrocnemius muscle of the rat was chosen as the injection site. Prior to the injection of microcapsules the skin above the sites was shaved and tattooed for later recognition and recovery. 1.0 cc syringes were loaded with the desired quantity of microcapsules and the vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropylmethycellulose) drawn up. The syringes were agitated to suspend the microcapsules in the injection vehicle.
