Melanoma is a very aggressive skin cancer; its treatment bears great challenges, hence the interest in new therapeutic approaches is growing. In this review, potential nano-formulated natural drugs from plants such as Ginseng, Pistacia lentiscus, Amaranthus hypochondriacus, and Cannabis sativa in the treatment of melanoma are discussed. We discuss various characteristics of nanoformulations, including liposomes and nanoemulsions, with respect to their ability in enhancing drug delivery and bioavailability. Key mechanisms of action including reactive oxygen species modulation, apoptotic signaling induction, immune modulation through TLR4/MyD88, and inhibition of angiogenesis by VEGF pathways are discussed. Although these natural nanoformulations show promise in improving therapeutic outcomes, challenges related to their clinical application and safety persist. Further research is warranted to fully explore how this novel approach can best be utilized against melanoma.
黑色素瘤是一种侵袭性很强的皮肤癌;其治疗面临巨大挑战,因此对新治疗方法的兴趣与日俱增。在这篇综述中,讨论了人参、乳香黄连木、凹头苋和大麻等植物中潜在的纳米制剂天然药物在黑色素瘤治疗中的应用。我们讨论了纳米制剂(包括脂质体和纳米乳剂)在增强药物递送和生物利用度方面的各种特性。还讨论了关键作用机制,包括活性氧调节、凋亡信号诱导、通过TLR4/MyD88进行免疫调节以及通过VEGF途径抑制血管生成。尽管这些天然纳米制剂在改善治疗效果方面显示出前景,但它们在临床应用和安全性方面的挑战依然存在。有必要进行进一步研究,以充分探索如何最好地利用这种新方法来对抗黑色素瘤。
