“…Prolonged blood circulation provides the particles with the opportunity to exit the leaky neovasculature and accumulate in tumors. 8 A variety of carriers, including organic (polymeric NPs, 9,10 polymeric micelles, 11,12 polymeric conjugates, 13,14 dendrimers, 15 liposomes, 16,17 polymer-coated liposomes 18 and nanocapsules 19,20 ), inorganic (carbon nanotubes, 21 iron oxide NPs, 22 gold NPs, 22 and mesoporous silica NPs 24 ) and hybrid NPs (nanoscale coordination polymers 25 and polysilsesquioxane NPs 26 ), have been adapted to facilitate delivery of platinum-based drugs (Figure 1). Some of these NP DDSs have demonstrated promising preclinical results, and a few have entered clinical trials (Table 1).…”
