Research Abstract |
Nanomaterials are used frequently in microelectronics, cosmetics and sunscreen, and research for the development of nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems is promising. Interactions between nano-size materials and drugs that have therapeutic potential need investigating. Here, we investigated whether nano-size materials affect drugs-induced toxicity using inert polystyrene particles, nano-silicaand fullerrene particles, which have been widely used in industrial materials, carbon tertrachloride, a popular anti-tumor agent, cisplatin, and a widely used herbicide, paraquat. The result, inert polystyrene particles and nano-silica particles induced liver injury by using together with the drugs. Our findings suggest that further evaluation on the interaction between nano-size materials and drugs is critical for the pharmaceutical application of nanotechnology.
