Abstract
In this review we have focused on the utilization of the biocompatible nanomaterials to reverse multidrug resistance (MDR), a major clinical obstacle in cancer therapeutics. Based on the comprehension of the mechanism of MDR and common reversal methods, the strategies and key properties of anti-MDR nanomaterials are explored and described to show how these features could provide the potential therapeutic effects that are not achievable with other modalities. The use of biocompatible nanoparticles with different designs and therapeutic approaches to reverse the MDR of cancer chemotherapeutics offers promising opportunities to benefit patients in the future.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
