Abstract
The global burden of cancer increases with the passing year and is becoming the primary cause of death globally. Chemotherapy plays an important role but produces side effects, natural compounds seem to be an option with fewer side effects, but their bioavailability remains a concern. Bioinspired Quantum dots (QDs) from plant sources show promising drug delivery and anti-cancer potential with low toxicity. QDs are well known for their optical activity and find their use in various applications and can be used explicitly for bio-imaging and drug delivery in cancer therapy. Further, bioinspired QDs as an anti-cancer drug delivery system is less explored. Thus, this featured article aims to conclude the recent advances in the use of bioinspired QDs for drug delivery in cancer therapy.
