Anticancer evaluation of methotrexate and curcumin-coencapsulated niosomes against colorectal cancer cell lines.
Аннотация
Aim: The aim of the present investigation was to develop niosomes containing both curcumin (CUR) and methotrexate (MTX). Also, the combinational effect of CUR and MTX in both free and niosomal forms on growth inhibition potential and induction of apoptosis in the HCT-116 cell line were exploited. Materials & methods: Niosomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method and their physicochemical properties were determined by various techniques. Cellular uptake, cell apoptosis, wound healing and MTT assay were conducted to ascertain niosomes' feasibility for cancer therapy.
Results
The combination of CUR and MTX in niosomal formulation showed more toxicity than their combination in free form.
Conclusion
The nanocarrier-based approach was effective for the codelivery of CUR and MTX against cancer cells in vitro.
