Anti-cancer and anti-immunomodulatory properties of novel Arteether in Folic acid-Chitosan-Fe3O4 composite nanoparticle for treatment of breast cancer
Goal: The potent anti-cancer activity of Arteether (ARE) has been the focus of many studies. However, the hydrophobic property of this drug limits its application. To increase the bioavailability of ARE, we formulated a nanosystem (NS) of folic acid (FA), chitosan (CS) and Fe3O4 for delivery of ARE against breast cancer. Material and Methods: The CS coated Fe3O4 was synthesized by co-precipitat...
متن کاملBiodegradable kefiran-chitosan-nanocellulose blend film: Production and physical, barrier, mechanical, thermal, and structural properties
In this study, biodegradable kefiran-chitosan-nanocellulose blend films were developed and their physical, mechanical, barrier, thermal and structural properties determined. Results showed that adding nanocellulose had not any significant effect on the thickness, moisture content and water solubility. Also, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and lightness increased and the elongation at...
