Abstract
This review presented the unique characteristics of different types of cyclodextrin polymers by non-covalent host–guest interactions to synthesize an inclusion complex. Various cancers are treated with different types of modified cyclodextrins, along with the anticancer drug paclitaxel. PTX acts as a mitotic inhibitor, but due to its low dissolution and permeability in aqueous solutions, it causes considerable challenges for drug delivery system (DDS) designs. To enhance the solubility, it is reformulated with derivatives of cyclodextrins using freeze-drying and co-solvent lyophilization methods. The present supramolecular assemblies involve cyclodextrin as a key mediator, which is encapsulated with paclitaxel and their controlled release at the targeted area is highlighted using different DDS. In addition, the application of cyclodextrins in cancer treatment, which reduces the off-target effects, is briefly demonstrated using various types of cancer cell lines. A new nano-formulation of PTX is used to improve the antitumor activity compared to normal PTX DDS in lungs and breast cancer is well defined in the present review.
