Selenium-Doped Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles Loaded with Cisplatin Enhance Efficiency and Reduce Side Effects
In this study, nanoparticles were used to co-deliver cisplatin and Se in a synergistic combination. Se-doped and lipid-coated calcium carbonate nanoparticles loaded with cisplatin (Pt/Se@CaCO3 NPs) were prepared by a reverse microemulsion method. The NPs delivered cisplatin and Se to tumour cells at an optimal synergistic ratio of 1:1 (mol/mol) both in vitro and in an osteosarcoma xenograft model. These results demonstrate that Pt/Se@CaCO3 NPs have great prospects for the osteosarcoma therapy.Graphical abstract
