Abstract
CAVALCANTI, Iago Dillion Lima et al. Nanoparticles in the use of natural products for the treatment of lung cancer. Ars Pharm [online]. 2019, vol.60, n.3, pp.185-192. Epub Mar 09, 2020. ISSN 2340-9894. https://dx.doi.org/10.30827/ars.v60i3.9220.
Objective:
Carry out a bibliographical survey about the use of nanoparticles in the delivery of natural products for the treatment of lung cancer.
Methods:
A bibliographic review was made using the descriptors “Nanoparticles”, “Biological Products” and “Lung Neoplasms”, through the databases ScienceDirect, PubMed and SciELO, in the period from 2009 to 2018.
Results:
After analyzing the articles according to the inclusion criteria, we obtained 31 articles, of which 25.81% refer to natural products in the treatment of lung cancer, 29.03% to nanoparticles in the treatment of lung cancer and 45.16 % to nanoparticles as carriers of natural products for the treatment of lung cancer.
Conclusion:
The use of nanoparticles allows the delivery of natural products, increasing their therapeutic properties against lung cancer cells, and decreasing the side effects of these highly toxic agents.
Keywords : Nanoparticles; Biological Products; Lung Neoplasms.
