Abstract:Among the potent anticancer agents, methotrexate (MTX) is very effective against many different types of cancer cells. Implementation of chemotherapy along with radiotherapy, known as synchronous chemoradiotherapy, can augment the treatment efficacy. In the present study self‐assembled MTX conjugated mPEG‐PCL copolymer encapsulating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) hybrid (mPEG‐PCL‐MTX@Au) was developed as both drug carrier and radiosensitizer. After successful synthesis and characterization of hybrids with differen… Show more
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.
