Dose effects study of gold nanocomposites on the cytotoxicity by MTT assay.

Notes: In vitro cytotoxicity of uncoated and lipid-coated drug-containing gold nanocomposites in B16F10 and MCF-7 cells after 24 hours. Each value represents the mean ± standard error (n=8). Statistical significance was determined using two-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni post-tests using free DTX as control (*P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001).

Abbreviations: AL_AuNR_DTX, docetaxel-loaded anionic lipid-coated gold nanorod; AL_B, anionic liposomes; AuNP, spherical gold nanoparticle; AuNR, gold nanorod; CL_AuNP_DTX, cationic lipid-coated gold nanoparticle; CL_B, cationic liposomes; DTX, docetaxel; MTT, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide.
