Targeted delivery of platinum-based anticancer complexes

► Design of platinum anticancer drug carriers. ► Transport of large numbers of Pt centres, shielding from premature activation, specific delivery to cancer cells. ► Nanotubes, nanorods, magnetic iron oxide, gold nanoparticles, liposomes, nanogels and polymers. ► Targeting by conjugation to biodegradable proteins and peptides. ► Spatially targeted activation of PtIV prodrugs using light.
