Engineered beta-cyclodextrin-based carrier for targeted doxorubicin delivery in breast cancer therapy in vivo

In this study, we prepared a beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-based carrier consisting of β-CD, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and folic acid (FA) (CDPF) for improved doxorubicin (DOX) delivery to targeted breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. The morphology and size distribution were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, which revealed in particles ranging from 38 nm to 52 nm in size. DOX from...
