Abstract
Anticancer drugs are natural or synthetic drugs extensively used to cure cancer. These anticancer drugs have preventive roles in various types of cancer. Many anticancer drugs have shown a poor therapeutic outcome due to the lack of selectivity and pleiotropic nature. These anticancer drugs are also restricted in therapeutic uses due to low solubility, poor bioavailability, and hydrophobicity. Recently, porous carbon material (PCMs) provide efficient platforms to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs by improving drug delivery systems. These porous carbon materials (PCMs) hold carbonaceous compositions and porous structures, donating them with the excellent nature of drug delivery systems in comparison with other delivery systems. In the present chapter, we have outlined the cutting-edge progress of porous carbon materials as targeted and efficient drug delivery systems (DDS) of various anticancer drugs containing anticancer potentials in clinical settings. In conclusion, feasible concerns and future prospects for the progress of porous carbon materials in the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs have been mentioned in detail.
