Development and optimization of stealth liposomal system for enhanced in vitro cytotoxic effect of quercetin

The present study was designed to develop a stealth liposomal drug delivery system for a naturally occurring flavonoid, quercetin. Quercetin is a unique polyphenol with multifarious curative applications, anticancer activity being one of them. However, the poor aqueous solubility of this hydrophobic compound hinders its therapeutic effects. For this purpose, our study aimed to enhance the aqueous solubility and in vitro cytotoxic efficacy of...
