title: The effect of formulation and concentration of cholesteryl butyrate solid lipid nanospheres (SLN) on NIH-H460 cell proliferation.
abstract: Experimental factorial design was used to evaluate the influence of two factors involved in producing cholesteryl butyrate (chol-but) solid lipid nanospheres (SLN), microemulsion formulation and microemulsion/water ratio, on the effect of the SLN on the proliferation of NIH-H460, a non-small-cell lung carcinoma; six experimental settings were tested. The cells were treated with scalar concentrations of cholesteryl butyrate (from 0.008 to 1.000 mM) for each experimental condition; NIH-H460 cell growth was inhibited in all cases. The best experimental setting provided complete inhibition at 0.125 mM chol-but, while at the same concentration sodium butyrate provided only 38% inhibition.
