Abstract:

Malignant tumors are major diseases that threaten human health. The development of safe and efficient antitumor drugs and their delivery systems is an important guarantee for improving the efficacy of antitumor drugs. In recent years, cyclodextrin-based antitumor drug host-guest delivery systems have received much attention. Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides obtained by amylolytic enzymes with an external hydrophilic internal hydrophobic structure, and have been widely used in gene therapy, immune cell therapy, immune-targeted therapy, and chemotherapy. This review summarizes the advances related to cyclodextrins as antitumor drug delivery carriers, and also provides a perspective and discussion on the opportunities and challenges of host-guest delivery systems in oncology therapy.

Key words: Malignant tumor, Host-guest drug delivery systems, Cyclodextrin inclusion compounds, Cyclodextrin conjugates, Cyclodextrin polymers
