- Abstract
This study described a curcumin (CUR) loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA@CUR NPs), which could solubilize the poorly water-soluble drug and increase the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. BSA@CUR NPs were synthesized by a simple coacervation procedure. The resultant BSA@CUR NPs showed a spherical shape, with a diameter of 92.59±16.75nm (mean ± SD) nm and a ζ-potential of - 9.19mV. The in vitro drug release study of CUR showed a sustained and controlled release pattern. Cellular toxicity of BSA NPs was also investigated on HFF2 cell lines. Additionally, a hemolysis test of as prepared NPs were performed for investigation of hemocompatibility. Hemolysis assay and cytotoxicity study results on HFF-2 cell line show that as prepared BSA NPs are biocompatible. The in vitro anticancer activity of the BSA@CUR NPs were performed by MTT assay on MCF-7 cancer cells. These results suggest that BSA@CUR NPs are a new drug delivery system for cancer therapy., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
