This invention relates to antioxidant, neuroprotective and antineoplastic nanoparticles comprising a therapeutic agent on an amphiphilic spacer or an amphiphilic polymer. Methods of synthesizing the antioxidant derivatives of camptothecin and antioxidant derivatives of camptothecin analogs, NSAIDs and statins, spontaneous emulsification or nanoprecipitation thereof to produce antioxidant, neuroprotective and anti-neoplastic nanoparticles comprising a therapeutic agent on an amphiphilic spacer or an amphiphilic polymer and their use in treating cancerous diseases are also provided. A further aspect of this invention is the use of these neuroprotective and anti-neoplastic nanoparticles for the preparation of delivery devices of other pharmaceuticals and/or drugs. |
