Characterization of Nanoparticles Containing Achillea Phrygia and Their Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Properties

Abstract

In this study, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of ‘‘Achillea phrygia’’ were investigated. Since the antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of B sub-extract from plant’s chloroform extract is higher than other extracts, B sub-extract of Achillea phrygia was used in the preparation of nanoparticles. Characterization of nanoparticles was made, antiproliferative activities and IC50 values of nanoparticles and only chloroform extract was calculated by cell culture studies and XTT cell viability test. According to the results, it was observed that the extract-loaded chitosan nanoparticles had a strong antiproliferative activity in both MCF 7 and HT29 cells. The results of this study support that bioactive extract of the Achillea phrygia plant can be prepared as an herbal medicine candidate by preparing formulations with biopolymers and being investigated in cancer studies.
