Shell crosslinked knedel-like nanoparticles for delivery of cisplatin: effects of crosslinking

Nanoscale. 2013 Apr 21;5(8):3220-5. doi: 10.1039/c3nr34320k. Epub 2013 Mar 11.

Abstract

Polymeric micelles and shell crosslinked knedel-like (SCK) nanoparticles were loaded with up to 48% (w/w) cisplatin. These spherical cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles displayed sustained platinum release over 5 days in PBS, enhanced stability over free cisplatin in aqueous milieu, and significant antitumor activity in vitro against two cancer cell lines.
