Encapsulating Anti-Parasite Benzimidazole Drugs into Lipid-Coated Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles to Efficiently Induce Skin Cancer Cell Apoptosis

Benzimidazole (BMZ) family of anti-worm drugs has been now repurposed as anti-cancer drugs. However, offering a general reformulation method for these drugs is essential due to their hydrophobicity and low aqueous solubility. In this work, we developed a general approach to load typical BMZ drugs as...
