Introduction:
Cancer is one of the current leading cause of death all over the world. Among
the various emerging technologies, nanotechnology plays a prominent role in delivering the drug to the
target region.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, the In vitro effect of doxorubicin adsorbed gold nanoparticles
synthesized by Azadirachta Indica leaves extract as reducing agent and the doxorubicin entrapped
modified liposomes called transfersomes was compared over the cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cell
lines). The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized using a UV-visible spectrophotometer,
SEM analysis.
Results:
The UV-Visible spectrum showed the peak at 537nm and the incorporation of drug over the
nanoparticles was conformed using FTIR and SEM analysis. The drug entrapment onto transfersomes
was also characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis. When compared, the drug entrapped transfersomes
shows significant effect with the lowest concentration of drug (0.25 µg/mL) than the drug adsorbed
nanoparticles.
Conclusion:
Hence, the transfersomes may also become the promising drug carrier in the future.
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.
