Aims: This study aims to develop and evaluate oleuropein loaded surface functionalized folate-targeted - PEG liposomes for the effective management of prostate cancer in an animal model.
Materials And Methods: Film hydration-cum-extrusion technique was used to produce liposomes. Particle size, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, electron microscopy, and drug release study were performed for the characterization.
Resveratrol (RL), a natural polyphenol, is known for its diverse biological effects against various human cancer cell lines. But low aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability, and stability limit its efficacy against prostate cancer. In this study polymeric nanoparticles encapsulating resveratrol (RLPLGA) were designed and their cytotoxic and mode of apoptotic cells death against prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP) was determined.

Ninty-six percent of total isolated organisms were found to be gram negative while remaining 4% were gram positive. Among gram negatives, E.

Conventional cancer chemotherapy is not very effective for treatment of colorectal cancer, as the drug molecule does not reach the target site at therapeutic concentration, on the other side they produces sever systemic toxic effect.
