Abstract

Camplatin, a prodrug formed via coining camphoric anhydride and cisplatin, was delivered in biodegradable nanoparticles. This camphoric acid and cisplatin co-delivery system exhibited enhanced anticancer activity compared to cisplatin and has successfully overcome cisplatin drug resistance.
