Anti-Cancer Effect of Cephalexin Loaded on Nano chitosan Against Humane Liver Cancer

Abstract

A beta-lactam antibiotic, such as cephalexin, is frequently prescribed to treat bacterial infections. In a particular investigation, cephalexin's effectiveness was assessed when it was administered ex vivo, or outside of a living organism, to the HepG2 human liver cancer cell line subsequent to its loading onto Nano chitosan. The purpose of the study was to determine how useful cephalexin would be in this situation. Positive study results showed that the drug worked well in this particular application. The ability of cephalexin to activate p53, a protein that is essential for starting the process of programmed cell death in liver cancer cells, was discovered. This shows that cephalexin, especially in combination with Nano chitosan, may be useful in the treatment of liver cancer. Overall, the study showed that cephalexin has the ability to target liver cancer cells and activate pathways that may result in their demise. Nevertheless, more investigation and clinical testing would be required to properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using cephalexin in this situation.
