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 anti-oxidant 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.
