Table 6.

Entrapment efficiency (EE%) and loading capacity (LC%) of various amounts of PTX in SD-stabilized zein nanoparticles prepared using a protein concentration of 2 mg/mL and 1.25% w/v of SD as a function of the drug concentration initially used.

Amount of drug used (μg/ml) EE (%) LC (%) Amount of entrapped drug (μg/ml)
100 29 ± 3 0.9 ± 0.03 29 ± 1.2
200 32 ± 3 2.12 ± 0.12 64.5 ± 2.3
300 40 ± 4 3.84 ± 0.15 120 ± 3.9
