  • Abstract:

    Background: SN38 is a potent semisynthetic anticancer agent of the camptothecin (CPT) family. Akin to other CPTs, SN38's direct formulation is challenged by poor solubility in pharmaceutically approved solvents. We hypothesize that a lipophilic prodrug approach coupled with lipid-based formulation will facilitate efficacious oral delivery of SN38.
