Background
The problems associated with poor water solubility of anticancer drugs are one of the most important challenges in achieving effective cancer therapy. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of Scutellarein on human colon cancer cells in vitro by using a target αvβ-3 novel Scutellarein (Scu)-loaded niosome nanoparticle (β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD).
Results
β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD has a diameter of 140.2nm and a zeta potential of -11.3 mV with a constant physicochemical stability. The MTT assay showed both Scu and β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD caused a decrease in cell proliferation and viability of HT29, but β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD showed better activity in vitro. Colony formation assay and flow cytometry assay showed that β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD has a better effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis.
Conclusions
Although further in vivo studies are necessary, our results suggested that β-CD-CL-Scu-cRGD could be an outstanding carrier to deliver Scu for potential therapeutic approaches into colon cancer.
