The self-assembly of cisplatin and chitosan nanoparticles has been successfully synthesized and characterized, showing a reduction in the side effects of cisplatin and a protective effect on liver, testis, and kidney cells. The hybrid nanocomposite improved spermatogenic cells, seminiferous tubules, and Leydig cells, indicating its potential for mitigating the adverse effects of cisplatin.
The self-assembly of cisplatin (Cis-Pt) and chitosan nanoparticles (Cs NPs) has been synthesized and characterized successfully by different analyses and techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The efficiency of loading Cis-Pt on Cs NPs for decreasing the side effects of Cis-Pt by loading it on Cs NP surface was revealed through histopathological and physiological measurements for the liver, testis, and kidney cells. Self-assembly hybrid nanocomposite (Cis-Pt@Cs) could improve spermatogenic cells, seminiferous tubules, and Leydig cells in the interstitial tissue. Kidney examination showed intact glomeruli with a mild increase in capsular space in addition to the intact renal tubular epithelial lining, and liver findings showed improvement in dilation and congestion of the central vein besides mild dilation of blood sinusoids in addition to a mild degree of hepatocyte vacuolation. The serum levels of hepatic, renal, and testicular marker analysis were measured, where Cis-Pt increased the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase activity, urea, creatinine, and decreased testosterone levels, while synthesized self-assembly appeared normalized levels. From the results, the self-assembly hybrid nanocomposite decreases and improves the side effects of Cis-Pt.
