Skin cancer is an uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal skin cells that is usually caused by damaging UV radiation. Skin cancer is classified into two types: non-melanoma skin cancer and melanoma skin cancer. The entire studies focus on cytotoxic effect of prepared 5-Flurouracil loaded chitosan nanoparticle using A375 and A431 skin cancer cell line. In-vitro cell cytotoxicity assay, DAPI test of prepared formulation was conducted to observe the cytotoxic effect. The cell cytotoxicity investigation revealed that nanoparticles had higher cytotoxicity, inducing greater apoptosis within 72 h. The experimental results show that the produced nanoparticle is a good candidate for use as a 5-FU carrier in the treatment of skin cancer.
Keywords: A375 cell line; A431 cell line; Cell cytotoxicity; DAPI test; Nanoparticle.
