Abstract

In this study, 75PLA/25PVP nanofibrous loaded with amygdalin (AMG) and Inula helenium (I.H) extract were produced by electrospinning method in order to prevent local colon cancer recurrence, and the effect of the produced nanofibrous on the HCT-116 cell line was examined in vitro. When the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were examined, the fiber diameter of the 75PLA/25PVP group was measured as 443.74 ± 79 nm, but the addition of I.H and AMG caused a thickening effect on the fiber diameters. Drug release results show the controlled release period of 75PLA/25PVP/I.H and 75PLA/25PVP/AMG loaded nanofibrous patches within 180 h. Slowly degrading nanofibrous remained durable for up to 25 days. When the in vitro cytotoxicity results were analyzed, all nanofibrous were found to be effective in inducing cytotoxicity against HCT-116 colon cancer cells. The most effective group is the group in which I.H extract and AMG drug are loaded onto the nanofibrous together. AMG drug and I.H plant extract showed effects on the colon cancer cell line in in vitro experiments. Considering all the results I.H and AMG loaded nanofibrous can be implanted into solid tumor cells in order to reduce the risk of local recurrence of cancer after surgery in colon cancer.
