In the current study we had developed and characterized Poly (lactic-co-glycolide) acid nanoparticles for anticancer drug Doxorubicin and further studied in-vitro cytotoxic effect of free and encapsulated nanoparticle drug delivery system. PLGA-drug nanoparticles were prepared by oil-water emulsion solvent evaporation method. The morphology of drug loaded nanoparticles was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. The drug loaded nanoparticles were evaluated for cell cytotoxicity by sulforhodamine B assay. Images of formulation indicate the surface morphology of formulation. The in vitro cytotoxicity results showed Doxorubicin NPs to be active against A431 and NCI-H322 cell line compared to Doxorubicin free drug. The IC50 values were found to be 1.73 µM with A431 cell line whereas 1.64 µM for NCI-H322 cell line. This indicates that Doxorubicin NPs have more pronounced activity towards A431cell line.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
