Abstract
Cancer poses a significant challenge in modern medicine, standing as the primary cause of death in many countries, second only to cardiovascular diseases. Among the various treatments available, carboplatin, a chemotherapy drug, is employed for specific cancer types, including brain carcinoma. The main objective of this investigation is to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of carboplatin by utilizing niosomal nanocarriers. We synthesized nanoniosomal carboplatin using the reverse-phase evaporation technique and conducted an assessment of its particle size, zeta potential, and drug-release properties. Subsequently, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of nanoniosomal carboplatin using the C6 rat glioma cell line. Our research revealed that these niosomal nanoparticles possessed a particle size of 290.5±5.5 nm and a zeta potential of -21.7±7.4 mV. The amount of encapsulated drug and drug loading level were found to be 60.2±2.3% and 2.5±1.1%, respectively. Importantly, the cytotoxic impact of these nanoniosomes on the C6 rat glioma cell line exhibited a significant increase compared to the free drug (P<0.05). Based on our discoveries, it is evident that carboplatin niosomal nanocarriers hold potential as an innovative approach to chemotherapy for brain cancer therapy.
