Chemists and pharmacologists present eight research and review studies and a short communication on improving the efficacy of cancer drugs. In the core study, Jose L. Arias (pharmacy and pharmaceutical technology, U. of Granada, Spain) surveys micro-particulate and nano-particulate drug delivery systems for cancer treatment. Other topics include the synergistic anti-tumor activity of metronomic dosing chemotherapy in combination with liposomal anti- cancer drugs, the design of novel anti-cancer drugs utilizing busulfan for optimizing pharmacological properties and pattern recognition techniques for elucidating clinical efficacy, and insights into the mode of action of bioreductive ruthenium cytotoxins.
