Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Crocin has immunomodulatory and anticancer effects. In this study, crocin was used to induce the M1 phenotype in mouse tumor macrophages. MAIN METHODS: A targeted liposomal formulation with m2 peptide was prepared and characterized to deliver crocin to the M2 macrophages present in the tumor environment. RT-qPCR and IHC were performed for in vitro and in vivo (in C26 colon carcinoma mouse model at a dose of...
