Anticancer Analysis of CD44 Targeted Cyclosporine Loaded Thiolated Chitosan Nanoformulations for Sustained Release in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Abstract Introduction: Cyclosporine (CsA), a potent immunosuppressive chemotherapeutic medication, treats numerous cancers, particularly malignant carcinoma, acute leukemia, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methodology: A specified polymeric nanoformulation (NF) based drug delivery technique with ligand functionalization at the surface was developed to improve its delivery at the intended area and boost the efficacy for prolonged time. The in silico verified the HA binding to the CD44 receptor at binding sites A and B in triple-negative breast cancer cells. The NF of
