Popis: This work evaluates nano-lipid carrier of ganoderic acid (GA) and molecular docking on various cancer signaling pathways, an attempt to improve the hepatic condition associated with hepatic carcinoma (HCC) induced by diethyl-nitrosamine (DEN) in Wistar rats. Molecular docking mechanism of GA was performed through binding simulation analysis for various cancer signaling pathway, viz., Bcl-2, Pl3K, NF-κB, Akt/PKB, and Stat-3. Double emulsion solvent displacement method was implied for preparation of GA-loaded nano-lipid carrier. GA-NLCs were evaluated for drug loading capacity, entrapment efficiency, particle size, gastric stability, in vitro drug release, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and in vivo studies including macroscopical, hepatic injury markers, non-hepatic, biochemical, antioxidant parameters, and histopathological evaluation. HCC was induced by intraperitoneal injection of DEN (200 mg/kg). Both in vivo and molecular docking results were compatible in establishing the alteration in hepatic nodules, hepatic, non-hepatic, and antioxidant parameters, in a significant manner (p
