Abstract
⺠We developed doxorubicin loaded pH responsive chitin nanogels (Dox-CNGs) for cancer drug delivery applications. ⺠The in vitro cytotoxicity studies of 130-160 nm sized Dox-CNGs proved their cyto compatibility with L929 and toxicity towards PC3, MCF-7, A549 and HEPG2 cancer cells. ⺠The internalization of the Dox-CNGs showed a significant uptake of the Dox-CNGs in all the tested cell lines. ⺠These results indicated that Dox-CNGs can be used for prostate, breast, lung and liver cancer.
