Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectivity of resveratrol-gold-PEG-folate (RSV-Au-PEG-FA) nanoparticles formulation in resveratrol (RSV) targeted delivery and cytotoxicity effect on HeLa human cervical cancer cell line. Methods: Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were used as carriers and folic acid (FA) was used as active targeting moiety, using polyethylene glycol-bisamine (PEG-bis-amine) as linker. RSV-Au-PEG-FA nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, infrared spectroscopy, particle size analyzer (PSA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cellular uptake study was conducted by using fluorescence microscope. Cytotoxicity study was conducted by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Results: Cellular uptake study has shown that RSV-Au-PEG-FA nanoparticles are potential to be accumulated intracellularly in HeLa cells more than in Vero cells. Cytotoxicity study has shown RSV-Au-PEG-FA nanoparticles IC50 67.06±2.14 µM and RSV IC50 9.66±1.44 µM on HeLa cells Conclusion: RSV-Au-PEG-FA nanoparticles are potential to enhance RSV uptake by HeLa cells selectively.
