				 The  main  objectives  of  our  study  were  to  prepare  and  evaluate  a  biodegradable  nanoparticulate  system  of  Letrozole (LTZ) intended for breast cancer therapy. LTZ loaded thiolated chitosan (TCS) nanoparticles were prepared  by emulsion-solvent evaporation method. LTZ loaded TCS nanoaprticles were characterized by infrared spectra, drug  entrapment efficiency and in vitro release. The system sustained release of LTZ significantly and further investigation  could  exhibit  its  potential  usefulness  in  breast  cancer  therapy.  The  nanoparticles  of  LTZ  prepared  from  TCS  -  may  represent a useful approach for targeting its release at its site of absorption, sustaining its release. .. View More»
