“…They have been tested for their anticancer potential against breast and pancreatic cancer, 41,42 management of cerebral ischemia 43 with anti-inflammatory, 44 antibacterial, antioxidant, and photocatalytic activities 45 and had been suggested for possible use in cosmetics and wound healing. 46,47 Although there are very limited reports on the use of rutin-loaded CNPs for cancer therapy, rutin has been successfully loaded on several other nanoparticles including mineral-, lipid-, ionic-liquid, silica-, PEGylated nanoliposome-, solid lipid-, nanoemulsion-, nanocrystal-, keratin-, PLGA-, platinum and palladium-based nanomaterials and on phyto-sterosomes for the treatment of breast, [48][49][50] lung, 51,52 renal, 53 head and neck, 54 colorectal, 31,55 cervical, 56 brain 57 and liver 58,59 cancers at the preclinical level. Other than cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, rutin conjugated with mesoporous silica, nanolipids, nanomagnesia, selenium, PLGA nanoparticles and prepared in the form of nanocrystals have been proven effective for antibacterial, 60,61 antioxidant, 62 photoprotective, 63 anti-epilectic 64 and anti-parasitic 65 activities.…”
