Abstract | In this work, folate-phytosterol-carboxymethyl cellulose nanoparticles (FPCMC NPs) derived from plant material were fabricated and investigated as carrier of hydrophobic anticancer drugs. Firstly, hydrophobic phytosterol was grafted onto the framework of water-soluble carboxymethyl cellulose. Then folate, as tumor-targeting ligand, was coupled to the phytosterol-carboxymethyl cellulose to become self-assembled FPCMC NPs. The physicochemical properties of the fabricated FPCMC NPs were characterized. Doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as model anticancer drug that was entrapped in prepared FPCMC NPs with satisfactory loading content (7%) and loading efficiency (71.2%). The in vitro drug release test showed that the release amount of DOX from drug-loaded FPCMC NPs at pH 5.3 was much higher than that at pH 6.5 or pH 7.4. The research results indicated that the fabricated FPCMC NPs had the potential as nanocarrier of hydrophobic anticancer drugs for further experimental study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
