Quercetin-nanostructured lipid carriers: Characteristics and anti-breast cancer activities in vitro

- Biocompatible and biodegradable Q encapsulated NLC (Q-NLC) have small size.
- Q-NLC have high encapsulation efficiency & loading capacity.
- Q-NLC enhance solubility and stability of Q in aqueous solution.
- Q-NLC increase cellular uptake of Q by breast cancer cells.
- Q-NLC decrease the viability of breast cancer cells and induce their apoptosis.
