Abstract

Nanocarriers have been developed in order to protect drugs or to improve drugs efficiency by reaching the damaged tissue and avoiding systemic and local toxicity. By using HSP90 inhibitors, some cancer drug resistances have been overcome and the loading into nanocarriers of such drugs has shown an increase of their activities. This review will present some advantages of HSP90 inhibitors to treat resistant tumors; especially those targeting the mitochondrial protein TRAP1. We will also focus on the targeting of the primary tumors, cancer stem cells and metastatic cells.
