Özet

The current study explores the facile fabrication of multilayer self-assembled electrostatic oil-in-water Pickering emulsions (PEs) using quaternized nanocellulose (Q-NC) and diosgenin-conjugate alginate (DGN-ALG) particles as stabilizers to form hydrocolloid nanocarriers. The conditions of formulation such as storage time, pH, temperature and salt effect on the emulsion stability were evaluated. The results deduced showed good emulsion droplet stability over a period of 30 days. Morphological analysis revealed the hydrodynamic sizes of the PE droplets to be spherically shaped with an average diameter of 150 +/- 3.51 nm. Creaming index, wettability and critical aggregation concentrations (CAC) as well as chemical characterization of the PEs were examined. In vitro release kinetics of encapsulated quinalizarin as a model drug was investigated with a determined cumulative drug release (CDR) of 89 +/- 1.21% in simulated pH blood medium of pH 7.4. In addition, cellular internalization of the PEs was studied via confocal microscopy imaging and showed high cellular uptake. Also, evaluated in vitro cytotoxicity by MTT assay demonstrated excellent anticancer activity in human lung (A549) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.
