Preparation of copper oxide nanoparticles coated with bovine serum albumin for delivery of methotrexate
Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology(2022)
摘要
In this study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were successfully prepared by a sımple chemical method. After conjugation of methotrexate (MTX) on bovine serum albumin (BSA), the surfaces of CuO NPs were functionalized with BSA-MTX for the formation of CuO@BSA-MTX NPs. The samples were characterized by ultraviolet visible (UV–vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. It was fund that the synthesized CuO@BSA-MTX NPs show spherical shape, and exhibited a uniform morphology. Also the release study shows that the release of MTX is faster and more in the presence of proteinase K. The cytotoxicity of CuO@BSA-MTX NPs against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells was investigated with MTT assay. The results revealed that CuO@BSA-MTX NPs show significant cytotoxicity on MDA-MB-231 cell line.
