Multifunctional Theranostic Nanomedicines in Cancer focuses on new trends, applications, and the significance of novel multifunctional nanotheranostics in cancer imaging for diagnosis and treatment. Cancer nanotechnology offers new opportunities for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Multifunctional nanoparticles harboring various functions—including targeting, imaging, and therapy—have been intensively studied with the goal of overcoming the limitations of conventional cancer diagnosis and therapy. Thus theranostic nanomedicines have emerged in recent years to provide an efficient and safer alternative in cancer management. This book covers polymer-based therapies, lipid-based therapies, inorganic particle-based therapies, photo-related therapies, radiotherapies, chemotherapies, and surgeries. Multifunctional Theranostic Nanomedicines in Cancer offers an indispensable guide for researchers in academia, industry, and clinical settings; it is also ideal for postgraduate students; and formulation scientists working on cancer. Provides a comprehensive resource of recent scientific progress and novel applications of theranostic nanomedicines Discusses treatment options from a pharmaceutical sciences perspective Includes translational science and targeted CNS cancer treatment
Cancer is a major public health problem, and although significant therapeutic advances have been achieved for some types of malignancy, many tumors are still challenging to treat. The main therapeutic obstacles include tumor cell resistance to standard chemo-radiotherapy at clinically feasible doses, and treatment effects that are limiting due to normal tissue toxicity. Despite research spanning several decades, the goal of specifically destroying tumor cells, while sparing normal tissues, has remained difficult to attain. Recently however, the growth of the nanotechnology field offers new strategies and is promising in terms of early detection and the targeted therapy of cancer. Separate nanoparticles can carry a drug payload, can be targeted to tumors, and can be bound to MRI and CT contrast agents. A recent concept is that of "theranostics", viz., the ability of one nanoplatform to integrate several functions so that these are co-localized. For instance, the imaging enhancement property can be used in conjunction with drug delivery for real-time monitoring of drug distribution and to follow the therapeutic effects. Moreover, imaging capability may facilitate activation of a pro-drug payload at an optimum time, for example at the point of maximum nanoplatform accumulation at the tumor. This dissertation describes the design, fabrication and testing of two novel multifunctional nanoplatforms; a liposome containing dextran hydrogel and iron oxide, and a liposome containing perfluorocarbon (PFC) gas microbubble. A key limitation of nanoengineering in medicine is the lack of practical in vivo models, so that many nanoplatforms, while creatively engineered, are not biologically useful. This dissertation discusses and presents the development of an in vivo test-bed that allows optical and MRI imaging of nanoplatforms within a tumor and its blood vessels, and is a versatile system for guiding nanovehicle design.

Nanotechnology is key to the design and manufacture of the new generation of cosmetics. Nanotechnology can enhance the performance and properties of cosmetics, including colour, transparency, solubility, texture, and durability. Sunscreen products, such as UV nano-filters, nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO particles, can offer an advantage over their traditional counterparts due to their broad UV-protection and non-cutaneous side effects. For perfumes, nano-droplets can be found in cosmetic products including Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. Nanomaterials can also be used in cosmetics as transdermal drug delivery systems. By using smart nanocontainers, active compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants, nutrients, and anti-inflammatory, anti-infective agents, can be delivered effectively. These smart nanocontainers are typically related with the smart releasing property for their embedded active substances. These smart releases could be obtained by using the smart coatings as their outer nano-shells. These nano-shells could prevent the direct contact between these active agents and the adjacent local environments. Nanocosmetics: Fundamentals, Applications and Toxicity explores the formulation design concepts and emerging applications of nanocosmetics. The book also focuses on the mitigation or prevention of their potential nanotoxicity, potential global regulatory challenges, and the technical challenges of mass implementation.
