[ 1 ] - Fabrication and physicochemical investigation of ancient Iranian and Pakistani treated silver particles and their comparison with silver nanoparticles

Iranian and Pakistani traditional physicians have derived the advantages of silver compounds by processing silver to a specific preparation called Kushta to treat skin cancers. This study investigated silver Kushtas in comparison with silver nanoparticles in the terms of morphology, silver content, and chemical composition. Materials and Methods: Iranian silver Kushta (IKAg) powder was produced...

[ 3 ] - Comparison of the Cytotoxic Effects of Nanosilver and Ancient Iranian and Pakistani Silver Kushtas on Primary Rat Hepatocytes and Human Cancer Cell Lines

Tumor growth is characterized by uncontrolled cell division. For centuries, silver kushta powder, composed of nano and submicro silver particles, has been used in traditional Iranian and Pakistani medicine for the treatment of melanoma and breast cancer. We have found that these nanocomposite particles are similar to silver nanoparticles (AgNps) in size and shape and that there are so differenc...

[ 4 ] - Preparation and Evaluation of a Liposome Drug Delivery System in Cancer Treatment in vitro

Cancer is a fatal disease and relatively widespread in the world; Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women. Hydroxyurea (HU) is a chemotherapy drug for the cure of cancer different types in patients, for example breast cancer, but has several defects, for to remove these problems in this study a nanoliposome (NL) suspension for Hydroxyurea (HU) delivery in breast cancer cell thera...
