Abstract

Inhibiting component of therapy with (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is low bioavailability of fresh tea polyphenols that outcome from insecurity under stomach related circumstances, insufficient transcellular transport. As needs are, fucose- carboxymethyl chitosan (FU-CMC) graft EGCG with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) (FU-CMC-EGCG-GNPs) nanocomposites were prepared and managed peritumorally to assess their anticancer action. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared nanocomposite were evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy, UV–visible absorption spectra, XRD, FESEM-EDX and HRTEM-SAD. Additionally, the viability and cell uptake assays revealed that the as-prepared nanocomposite successfully repressed the propagation of gastric tumor cells. In vivo anticancer treatment of FU-CMC-EGCG-GNPs nanocomposites showed more anticancer action contrasted with pure EGCG. Immuno-histological investigations established a superior numeral of apoptotic tissues in the as-prepared FU-CMC-EGCG-GNPs nanocomposites contrasted with pure EGCG. Overall, the as-prepared FU-CMC-EGCG-GNPs nanocomposite affords a proficient medicine delivery stage for chemotherapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
