Abstract
- Among the different types of polymeric vehicles, (PLGA) is biodegradable and has emerged as promising tool for the delivery of cancer therapeutics. The salient features of PLGA micro carriers include prolonged circulation time, increased tumor localization and biodegradability and effectiveness of the therapeutics. We have synthesized PLGA microspheres where curcumin can be loaded and thereby increases its bioavailability. The cytotoxicity of curcumin (PLGA@CCM) microspheres was evaluated on triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines. They were found to induce apoptosis by perturbing the mitochondrial membrane potential. PLGA@CCM@FA induces apoptosis in human triple negative breast cancer cells by up-regulating Cleaved caspase-3 and down regutes p-AKT. The
