Release Behavior and Toxicity Profiles towards Leukemia (WEHI-3B) Cell Lines of 6-Mercaptopurine-PEG-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles Delivery System

Figure 8

Showing in vitro cytotoxicity studies of WEHI-3B cells after 48 hours of exposure to free MP, iron oxide nanoparticles (FNPs), FPEGMP-0.5, and FPEGMP-2 nanocomposites. The two nanocomposites (FPEGMP-0.5 and FPEGMP-2) and pure MP showed continuous cell viability, decreased with each increase in dose. Their IC50 values were found to be μg/mL, µg/mL, and µg/mL for MP, FPEGMP-2, and FPEGMP-0.5, respectively, as obtained from the graph and calculated via regression analysis.
