Abstract Objectives: Due to systematic side effects, there is a growing interest in nanoparticle formulation of anticancer drugs. Here, we aimed to synthesize poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) cross-linked by melamine (PSMA/Me) and coated with magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) PSMA/Me/Fe3O4. In addition, we aimed to load paclitaxel (PTX) into PSMA/Me/Fe3O4 for drug delivery and anticancer investigations. Methods: Novel PSMA/Me was synthesized via free radical copolymerization, coated with Fe3O4, and then used as a transporter for PTX delivery. Fabricated copolymer was characterized using SEM, TGA, and XRD techniques. Drug release rate and loading efficiency were investigated. Human ovarian cancer cells (Skov-3) and… More >
