In this paper we give a method of integrated treatment for cancer and drug-induced complications in the process of cancer therapy through dual-drug delivery system (DDDS). Two hydrophilic drugs, doxorubicin (an antitumor drug) and verapamil (an antiangiocardiopathy drug) combined preliminarily

The efficacy of chemotherapeutic doxorubucin (Dox) in cancer treatment is limited by two main factors, nonspecific toxicity and the emergence of tumor resistance. To overcome these hurdles, in this study peptide-Dox conjugates were prepared. A decapeptide 18-4a (NH₂-WxEAAYQkFL-CONH₂) [corrected] with
