This review focuses on marine-derived nanoparticles with potential oncological applications. It provides an overview of the production process, classification of organisms used for nanoparticle production, different types of nanoparticles with prospective applications in oncology, molecular pathways responsible for various nanomedicine applications, areas of nanoparticle implementation in oncology, and speculations about future directions.
Seas and oceans have been explored for the last 70 years in search of new compounds that can support the battle against cancer. Marine polysaccharides can act as nanomaterials for medical applications and marine-derived bioactive compounds can be applied for the biosynthesis of metallic and nonmetallic nanoparticles. Nanooncology can be used in numerous fields including diagnostics, serving as drug carriers or acting as drugs. This review focuses on marine-derived nanoparticles with potential oncological applications. It classifies organisms used for nanoparticle production, explains the production process, presents different types of nanoparticles with prospective applications in oncology, describes the molecular pathways responsible for numerous nanomedicine applications, tags areas of nanoparticle implementation in oncology and speculates about future directions.
