Cisplatin is one of the most leading potent chemotherapy drugs prescribed for the treatment of most solid tumors. However, the induction of toxicities and the development of resistance restricts its applications. Efforts are made in the proposed study to control the delivery of cisplatin to tumor sites by incorporating it into solid lipid nanoparticle (SLNs) drug carriers. By considering this fact, in the current research work, a single-step, one-pot, microwave-assisted technology was used to produce cisplatin-loaded SLNs. The shape of the SLNs was observed to be spherical, with a uniform size distribution of 74.85 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.311, and zeta potential of -20.8 mV. The percentage of encapsulation efficiency was found to be 71.85%. In vitro drug release study was calculated to be 80% in 24 h. The formulation in blood was found to be safe; a study of hemolysis confirmed this. Breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was used to test cytotoxicity and cellular interaction of cisplatin-loaded SLNs with an IC50 value of 6.51 +/- 0.39 mu g/mL. Overall, the results of our findings show that the approach of SLNs-based, cisplatin-based, drug delivery has led to increased sustainability in breast cancer therapy with superior biocompatibility.
