Abstract:Background:
Nanoparticles' precise targeting properties are becoming increasingly important in treating cancer and starting to outweigh cancer therapies.
Methods:
The in vivo anticancer activity of ethyl acetate iron oxide nanoparticles (NPS EAE) of Acalypha wilkesiana Müll. Mosaica was tested using Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC).
Results:
The value of the median lethal dose LD50 limit was found to be 3000 mg/kg. The value count of EAC cells was significantly decreased to 150±2.01 (106) and 275±2.01… Show more
