The aim of present work was to develop and evaluate Ampelopsis Radix ethanolic extract loaded phytosomes for improved efficacy in colorectal cancer. Ampelopsis Radix ethanolic extract was prepared by Soxhlet extraction process followed by development of phytosomes using lipids and other excipients. The phytosomes were evaluated for surface morphology, particle size analysis, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, in vitro drug release, Cytotoxicity assay, cellular uptake studies were performed on HCT-116 and SW480 cell lines. In vivo antitumor activity was performed. The phytosomes were found spherical shape with smooth surface characteristics. The drug loading was observed between 29.27 to 42.10 % while particle size of 85 to 130 nm was found. Phytosomes showed desired release pattern which is required for cancer treatment. Phytosomes showed maximum antiproliferative activity on cell lines over the period of 24 hours and showed highest internalization within both types of cell lines. The survival rate of animals in phytosomes treated group was found to be 100% proving the safety and efficacy. Phytosomes showed highest antitumor activity as compared to other formulations. Study confirms the potential use Ampelopsis Radix ethanolic extract loaded phytosomes for improved efficacy in colorectal cancer. |
