Mechanism of improved cell kill by nanoparticle encapsulated carboplatin. Free carboplatin exhibits low cellular accumulation due to slow and inefficient uptake by the cells. Nanoparticle encapsulation increases carboplatin uptake and hence improves its intracellular delivery. Enhanced cellular uptake in turn translates to higher cell kill by nanoparticle-encapsulated carboplatin
