Abstract
The aim of the work was to review literature data on combined nanochemotherapy using the example of two drugs ̶doxorubicin and curcumin. Special attention was paid to the use of substances with synergistic properties in one nanoparticle, capable to penetrate into living cell. The method of combined chemotherapy of nanopreparations improves processing efficiency. The technique of using nanocontainers with synergistic drugs in combination with ligands reduces the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Results. Literature data indicate that the use of nanopreparations contributes the rapid creation and use of synergistic combinations that were purposefully delivered to target cells, reducing dosage due to precise targeting. A promising direction of nanomedicine is the creation of multifunctional nanomaterials based on several active drugs having synergistic properties, with the simultaneous use of their enhancers and the strategy of active targeting. These structures enabled targeted and controlled penetration of medicinal compounds into the localization of pathological processes, reducing drugs toxicity for normal cells. Conclusions. Combined chemotherapy using polymers and nanoparticles with ligands, in which synergistic drugs are included, ensures to reduce side effects and doses of chemotherapy drugs, and helps to overcome multiple drug resistance as well.
