Journal ArticleDOI
Monodisperse mesoporous cobalt ferrite nanoparticles: synthesis and application in targeted delivery of antitumor drugs
TL;DR: Fluorescent molecule RITC and antitumor agents such as methotrexate and doxorubicin were successfully attached to the surface amine groups following simple organic coupling reactions thus endowing the nanoparticle with therapeutic and optical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiproliferative and immunostimulatory protein fraction from edible mushrooms.
TL;DR: The isolated protein fraction isolated from five different species of edible mushrooms mediated antiproliferative activity on several tumor cell lines through the induction of apoptosis and enhanced mouse natural killer cell cytotoxicity and stimulated macrophages to produce nitric oxide (NO).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrophobically modified carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles targeted delivery of paclitaxel
TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating a FA modified hydrophobically chitosan with paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles targeting of folate receptor overexpressing cancer cells, and the drug release property and the cytotoxicity of the drug loaded nanoparticles to both cancerous and noncancerous cells were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling the thickness of polymeric shell on magnetic nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin for targeted delivery and MRI contrast agent
TL;DR: Compared with T 2 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the above cells, the synthesized nanoparticles are showed stronger contrast enhancements towards cancer cells.
