چکیده

Doxorubicin was intercalated into novel zirconium phosphate nano-platelets (ZrP). The obtained doxorubicin intercalated ZrP nano-platelets had an impressive 34.9% (w/w) drug loading. We used this material to deliver doxorubicin to breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Cellular studies with MCF-7 cells showed higher uptake and cytotoxicity of doxorubicin loaded ZrP compared to free doxorubicin.

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...
