“…Nanoformulations of SFN are of potential interest, as they combine the intrinsic toxicity of the drug with a nanodelivery approach. Many studies have assessed the use of SFN encapsulated or entrapped in various nanocarriers, including polymeric carriers (Zhang et al., 2013 ; Craparo et al., 2014 ; Gao et al., 2015 ; Li et al., 2015 ; Liu et al., 2015 , 2016 ; Lin et al., 2016 ; Yang et al., 2016 ), lipid-based carriers (Zhang et al., 2014 ; Bondì et al., 2015 ; Grillone et al., 2015 ; Liu et al., 2015 ; Xiao et al., 2016 ; Yang et al., 2016 ; Mo et al., 2018 ; Benizri et al., 2018 ), and polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (Zhang et al., 2016 , 2017 ). These nanocarriers have given promising results in the liver and gastric cancer models.…”
