Fisetin (FS) is an anticancer drug having potential role in oral tumors management. However, its clinical application is limited due to its hydrophobicity and instability. Bioactive polymers-based nanosystems have a great potential in cancer therapy. Herein, different biopolymers were selected for their anticancer activity and targeting ability for nanoparticles preparation namely; fucoidan (FU), zein (Zn) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The selected FS-loaded cross-linked Zn nanoparticles (ZFH) which contains HA& FU for Zn nanoparticles stabilization showed the most suitable particle size (196 ± 6.53 nm), mean surface net charge (−38.8 ± 1.47 mV) and entrapment efficiency (98 ± 1.2 %). This is the first study to utilize both HA &FU not only for stabilization but also for dual targeting effect due to their targeting ability to multiple tumor targets. In-vitro anticancer activity of ZHF revealed remarkable uptake by SCC-4 cells with significant cytotoxic action. Further, ZHF was appraised using 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)-induced oral cancer in-vivo; ZHF significantly reduced OSCC-specific serum biomarkers levels, histologic tumor grade and increased caspase-3 level. Moreover, potential of destroying two key tumor regulatory cells; TECs and CSCs, was evaluated using their specific markers. The elaborated ZFH nanoparticles could be considered as promising targeted nanotherapy for oral cancer treatment with enhanced efficacy and survival rate.
