A Review Paper on Novel Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhanced Bioavailability of Bioactive Compounds in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Abstract: Most bioactive compounds from natural products are heavily relied on drug development due to their biological, chemical and pharmacological properties. Some compounds exhibiting anticancer properties have also been reported. However, they present a challenge in achieving the effective absorption and delivery in the body. This is due to minimal bioavailability, fluctuation of plasma drug concentration, low tolerance, first-pass effect which leads to less desired efficacy. Therefore, this calls for an …
