Optimized bilosome-based nanoparticles enhance cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activity of costunolide in LS174T colon cancer cells

Costunolide (COST) is a sesquiterpene lactone that belongs to the germacranolide group, and occurs mainly in Saussurea lappa Clarke. Although COST inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells and induces their apoptosis, it suffers poor water solubility and cellular permeability. Theref...
