Although some tumor has become a curable disease for many patients, involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is still a major concern. The blood-brain barrier (BBB), a special structure in the CNS, protects the brain from bloodborne pathogens via its excellent barrier properties and hinders new drug development for brain tumor. Recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology have resulted in various nanovehicless (NPs) as drug carriers to cross the BBB by different strategys. Here, the complex compositions and special characteristics of causes of brain tumor formation and BBB are elucidated exhaustively. Additionally, versatile drug nanovehicles with their recent applications and their pathways on different drug delivery strategies to overcome the BBB obstacle for anti-brain tumor are briefly discussed. Customizing nanoparticles for brain tumor treatments is proposed to improve the efficacy of brain tumor treatments via drug delivery from the gut to the brain. This review provides a broad perspective on customizing delivery nano-vehicles characteristics facilitate drug distribution across the brain and pave the way for the creation of innovative nanotechnology-based nanomaterials for brain tumor treatments.
尽管对许多患者来说,某些肿瘤已成为可治愈的疾病,但中枢神经系统(CNS)的累及仍然是一个主要关注点。血脑屏障(BBB)是 CNS 中的一种特殊结构,通过其出色的屏障特性保护大脑免受血源性病原体的侵害,从而阻碍了脑瘤的新药开发。最近纳米技术的突破导致了各种纳米载体(NPs)作为药物载体,通过不同的策略穿过 BBB。在这里,详尽地阐明了脑肿瘤形成和 BBB 的复杂组成和特殊特征。此外,简要讨论了具有不同应用和不同药物传递策略途径的多功能药物纳米载体,以克服 BBB 障碍,实现抗脑肿瘤作用。提出了针对脑肿瘤治疗的定制纳米颗粒,以通过从肠道向大脑输送药物来提高脑肿瘤治疗的疗效。本综述提供了广泛的视角,即定制递送纳米载体的特征有助于药物在大脑中的分布,并为基于创新纳米技术的脑肿瘤治疗纳米材料的创造铺平了道路。
