In Vitro Characterization of Pluronic F127 and D- -Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol 1000 Succinate Mixed Micelles as Nanocarriers for Targeted Anticancer-Drug Delivery

Table 2

The mean % inhibition and average IC50 ( M) of doxorubicin-loaded mixed micelles in MCF-7 and THP-1 cells. % inhibitions for equal concentrations of doxorubicin-loaded micelles are shown for a selected concentration only, data represented as mean ± SEM ( ), b = ** compared to free doxorubicin.
