Fluorescent magnetic submicronic polymer (FMSP) nanoparticles induce cell death in human colorectal carcinoma cells.

Nanoparticles have many advantages such as high biocompatibility, bioavailability and effective therapeutic capabilities. The aim of the present study is to examine whether fluorescent magnetic submicronic polymer nanoparticles (FMSP-nanoparticles) have any impact on human colorectal cancer cells. In the present study, we have tested FMSP-nanoparticles with an average size of 100-200 nm on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116) to check their cytotoxic and anti-cancer capabilities.
