Abstract

Chemotherapy is a major therapeutic approach for the treatment of localized and metastasized cancers. Although Doxorubicin (DOX) possesses abroad spectrum of anticancer activity, its clinical use is limited because of it cause heart failure. Chitosan nanoparticles was prepared by using ionic gelation method. These nanoaparticles were used as polyload of anticancer DOX to form safer and non-toxic anticancer drug. infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. The cancer animals’ experiments using Ehrlich static cancer, (EAC) cells using six groups of experimental animals were performed to evaluate the efficiency of Doxorubicin and Doxorubicin loaded chitosan nanoparticles as anticancer drug especially from its toxicity towards heart. Tumor volume was calculated as to monitor the response to treatment. Cytotoxicity of Doxorubicin and Doxorubicin loaded chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated. Biochemical parameters were be estimated to illustrate the cytotoxicity of these drugs on heart.
