Abstract

Targeted drug delivery system has come up as a new approach that increase the effectiveness of the drug while reducing the side effects of cancer therapy. This review focuses on the application of ligand-based drug targeting, especially antibodies-drug conjugates in the case of ovarian cancer and folate-receptor targeting in the case for tumor cells. This review will provide analytical insights about the effectiveness of two approaches on improving bioavailability, targeting specific tumor cells, and enhancing drug carrying capacity. The findings show that folate receptor targeting does has significant potential in enhancing curcumin’s anticancer activity. However, there are still challenges such as rapid decomposition of curcumin. This review also highlights the need for future experiments and research to consolidate the effectiveness of the drug delivery system and explore their potential in broader clinical environment.
