Synthesis of Methotrexate Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles and in vitro Evaluation of the Potential in Treatment of Prostate Cancer

Abstract: The objective of the study was to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of Methotrexate (MTX)-loaded chitosan (CS) on LNCaP prostate cancer cell line in vitro. For this purpose, CS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through ionic gelation method and MTX was loaded into the carrier with encapsulation. SEM images of the CS NPs have revealed that they have size of about 85 nm in mono-disperse manner. Drug loading yield was found to be 95.7 % with 470 μg drug/mg NP loading capacity. In vitro drug relea… Show more

“…The nanoformulations of Cyclosporin were formulated through an ionic gelation process without using harsh chemicals and with no energy expenditure following green synthesis protocols. In prior studies, the ionic gelation process was used to create methotrexate-encapsulated Cs nanoparticles tested in-vitro against the LNCaP cell line [26]. A related method assessed the cytotoxic effects of Vincristine encapsulated folic acid-Cs-linked nanomaterials on NCI-H460 cells [27].…”
