Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs are crucial in fighting cancer, but their rapid degradation and hydrophilicity limit their clinical use. Two approaches, prodrug and nanocarrier technologies, have been discussed to address these drawbacks, with the introduction of a novel PUFAylation method promising enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity.
Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs are essential tools in our limited arsenal in the fight against cancer. However, these structures face severe drawbacks such as rapid plasma degradation or hydrophilicity, limiting their clinical application. Here, different aspects of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs have been exposed, while providing their shortcomings. Aiming to improve their fate in the body and combating their drawbacks, two different approaches have been discussed, the prodrug and nanocarrier technologies. Finally, a novel approach called PUFAylation based on both the prodrug and nanocarrier technologies has been introduced, promising to be the supreme method to create a novel nucleoside or nucleotide analog based formulation, with enhanced efficacy and highly reduced toxicity.
