Volume of APS | EE (%) |
---|---|
50 | 83.49±1.107 |
100 | 54.89±2.07 |
150 | 36.66±1.705 |
200 | 30.03±2.117 |
Notes: The initial volume of APS (10 mg/mL) was optimized for stable synthesis of APS/AuNR/PLGA-PEG NPs: 100 μL of APS with 50 μL of AuNRs (1 g/mL) was the optimal combination.
Abbreviations: APS, astragalus polysaccharide; AuNRs, gold nanorods; EE, encapsulation efficiency; PLGA, poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid; PEG, polyethylene glycol; NPs, nanoparticles.
