Abstract
Cancer in individuals suffering with HIV and AIDS has become a common source of morbidity and mortality, especially in the underdeveloped world in which Kaposi’s sarcoma is the most occurring tumor of vascular endothelium frequently seen in patients suffering from AIDS. Suffering individuals are invariably co-infected with HIV and HHV-8 virus. The conventional modes for chemotherapies may be clinically useful in patients with Kaposi’s sarcoma. Though advancements in treatment modalities of AIDS related Kaposi’s sarcoma have been successfully achieved, till date an exclusive therapy of golden standard has not been principally defined that can deliver the drug via non-invasive route. Novel concepts of treatment primarily address the factors that are associated with the pathogenesis of critical disease. On the other hand local therapies are aimed at eradicating primary lesions; and systemic chemotherapies are aimed to treat widespread visceral involvement. Increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying viral tumorigenesis will hopefully portray new therapeutic strategies. This review discusses novel drug delivery strategies that have been investigated for the effective and safe management of AIDS related kaposi’s sarcoma. The review also highlights, the lipid based ultradeformable vesicular system that offers attractive drug delivery platform capable of delivering its payload without using invasive technique. These systems offer advance models for efficacious treatment of the future therapy aiming Kaposi’s sarcoma.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
