| Abstract | The aim of this work was to prepare paclitaxel-loaded PLGA nanoparticles and determine cytotoxicity of released paclitaxel for two hypoxic human tumor cell lines: breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and carcinoma cervicis (HeLa).Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles containing paclitaxel were prepared by o/w emulsification-solvent evaporation method. Physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles were studied. Cellular uptake of nanoparticles was evaluated by transmission electronic microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. Flow cytometry quantified the number of cells held in G$_{2}$/M phase. Cell viability was determined by the ability of single cell to form colonies. Biodistribution of nanoparticles in mice was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy.The nanoparticles were spherical with average diameter 318 ± 5.1 nm. The encapsulation efficiency was 88.52%. The drug release profile in vitro exhibited a biphasic pattern. Cellular uptake was observed. Co-culture of tumor cells with paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles demonstrated that released paclitaxel retained its bioactivity to block cells in G$_{2}$/M phase. Paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles exhibited cytotoxic effect on both hypoxic MCF-7 and HeLa cells and its cytotoxicity was more significant than that of free paclitaxel. Fluorescent nanoparticles were mainly distributed to liver and spleen of mice.Paclitaxel-loaded PLGA nanoparticles may be considered a promising drug delivery system to eradicate hypoxic tumor cells. |

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.
