The use of calcium carbonate in drug delivery applications has been highly interesting to researchers in recent years.
Effects of Calcium Carbonate as Drug Nanocarriers Studied in Iran
Tehran, Iran | Posted on September 7th, 2015Being safe, available, cost effective, biocompatibility, slow release of drug, sorption potential, bone tissue recovery and easy production are among the advantages of calcium carbonate for drug delivery purposes.
In this research, calcium carbonate nanoparticles were studied as drug delivery carriers to transfer various types of medications in a smart manner. These nanoparticles have shown very good ability to carry drugs into cancerous tissues. The properties of particles depend on pH value of the environment so calcium carbonate is able to slowly release drug in a controlled manner. Therefore, calcium carbonate nanoparticles can be introduced as an effective and harmless method for cancer treatment. However, further investigations and experiments are required.
This research presents updated information in brief about the production and application of calcium carbonate inorganic nanostructures as anticancer drug carriers, and their delivery into the target tissues. Various applications of these nanoparticles and their properties, including dependency on pH value and biodegradability, are among the issues studied in this research.
Results of the research have been published in Expert Opin Drug Deliv., vol. 25, issue 1, 2015, pp. 1-12.
