| Abstract | Biodegradable, PEG-coated, nanoparticles (NPs) have gained therapeutic application as injectable colloidal systems for the controlled and site-specific release of drugs. In this paper, encapsulation in PLGA-PEG polymer NPs has been exploited to lower the toxicity and to increase the antitumor activity of kiteplatin $([PtCl_{2}(cis-1,4-DACH)]).$ Kiteplatin contains an isomeric form of the diamine ligand present in oxaliplatin and proved to be particularly active against ovarian and colon cancers. To favor encapsulation of the platinum drug in the hydrophobic core of the polymeric micelles, Pt(IV) prodrugs having hydrophobic carboxylic ligands at the axial positions were used in place of hydrophilic Pt(II) complexes (compounds 1–4). The size, size distribution, and zeta potential (ZP) were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), and drug encapsulation efficiency (EE) correlated to the alkyl chain length of the different Pt(IV) prodrugs. The number of the Pt atoms per NP (in the range of 1.3–2.4 × $10^{6})$ is comparable to that of polysilsesquioxane-based NPs and higher than that found for other nanoparticle platforms. The platinum-loaded PLGA-PEG NPs, tested in vivo in a syngeneic murine solid tumor (LLC), had a higher antitumor effect and, most importantly, were markedly less toxic than kiteplatin. |

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.
