Abstract

Recently, TDDS (Targeting drug delivery system) plays an important role in enhancing the bioavailability and targeting of anti-tumor drugs. How to transport drugs quickly and precisely to their target sites of action has not been solved fundamentally. A large number of researches have identified artemisinin and its analogs have the merit of precisely targeting to cancer cell, and low side effects to healthy tissue. Thus, if these compounds could be attached to established anti-tumor drugs with probe, a novel targeting anti-tumor drugs will be put into practice in the future. The novel drugs delivery system will be a powerful weapon against cancer disease for their unique targeting.
