Abstract
Doxorubicin was conjugated to poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) by an ester linkage that can be cleavable under physiological conditions. The nanoparticles containing doxorubicin-PLGA conjugates were characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, and drug loading. In vitro sustained release profiles of doxorubicin from nanoparticles were examined by conjugating two different molecular weights of PLGA. In vitro anti-cancer activity of doxorubicin nanoparticles into HepG2 cells was quantified by a flow cytometry method and visualized using a confocal microscopy. In vivo anti-tumor activity was also studied.
