Effectiveness of using nutrient nanoparticles in cancer prevention

Abstract

Preventing cancer means suppressing, reversing and preventing cancer cells from becoming aggressive. the use of nutrients that have medicinal benefits and help reduce signal transduction pathways that are necessary for cancer development; But their poor solubility in water, which leads to their poor oral bioavailability, limits their clinical effectiveness. The emergence of nanotechnology has provided an opportunity that can be effective in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer. The use of nutrients in nano sizes helps to greatly reduce the limitations (stability, solubility, toxicity) of using nutrients in conventional ways. During the past several decades, compounds such as flavonoid, curcumin, taxol, etc. have been preventive factors in cancer; For the reasons mentioned, their use is limited. By overcoming these limitations (encapsulation and other nanotechnology methods), these materials can be used in the best possible way. The resulting research shows the production of various nutrients such as curcumin, taxol, etc. in the form of nanoparticles. It is expected that with the efforts of researchers in the nano field and progress in nanotechnology, she will achieve a variety of standard drugs in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
