Abstract Purpose Natural materials have been extensively studied for oral drug delivery due to their biodegradability and other unique properties. In the current research, we fabricated sodium caseinate nanomicelles (NaCNs) using casein as a natural polymer develop controlled-release system that would improve therapeutic potential of doxorubicin (DOX) reduce its toxicity. Methods DOX-loaded NaC...
