and anticandidal activities of alginate-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded Fe-bovine lactoferrin nanocapsules.

Aim: To study the and anticandidal activity of nanocapsulated bovine lactoferrin.

Materials & Methods: and antimicrobial activities were conducted to study the anticandidal activities of nanocapsules (NCs).

Results: The NCs showed good anticandidal activities.

In vitro and in vivo toxicity assessment of alginate/eudragit S 100-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded iron saturated bovine lactoferrin nanocapsules (Fe-bLf NCs).

Lactoferrin has been known to have antimicrobial properties. This research was conducted to investigate the toxicity of Alginate/EUDRAGIT S 100-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded Fe-bLf nanocapsules (NCs) by in vitro and in vivo assays. Brine shrimp lethality assay showed that the LC value of NCs was more than 1mg/mL which indicated that NCs was not toxic to Brine shrimp.
