Abstract
well diffusion method, and showed significant activity compared to the unloaded drug. Furthermore, an antitumor efficacy against HCT-116, HepG-2, PC3 and MCF-7 cancer cells revealed the highest cytotoxic efficacy with no influence on healthy cells. These nanodrugs, retaining both antibacterial and anticancer efficacy, have a talented therapeutic potential because of their selective cytotoxicity, connected with the ability to minimize the risk of bacterial infection in a cancer patient who is frequently immunocompromised.
