We have examined the influence of the nitric oxide (NO)-modified anti-inflammatory drug (S,R)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxasole acetic acid (VGX-1027) named GIT-27NO or the NO-modified antiviral drug saquinavir (Saq) named Saq-NO on two colon cancer cell lines, mouse CT26CL25 and human HCT116. The effects

Application of cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (CSLNs), comprising complex internal matrix and lipid-regulated external surface, is an intriguing issue in current bionanotechnology. This study presents dissolution kinetics of saquinavir (SQV) from CSLNs with cholesterol-mediated esterquat 1 (EQ 1) and biocompatibility
