ion-revulsion

HepG2, HeLa and A549 cell lines (0- 6 μg/mL, 24 h)

25.01

The NPs containing GLP exhibited more pronounced tumor suppression and enhanced growth-promoting effects compared to the free GLP solution

[60]

SeNP-SGLP

25

Chemical resuction and dispersion

Raw 264.7 cell lines (0–100 μg/mL, 0–24 h)

–

The anti-inflammatory properties of SeNPs-GLPS may play a role in the ongoing efforts to combat cancer and inflammation

[115]

GLPs microemulsion

87.94 ± 3.17

queous titration method

A549 and

Caco-2 cell lines (0–1000 μg/mL of oil phase, 0–24 h);

Xenograft mice (8 mg/kg)

–

This study elucidated the potential mechanism of the spatial relationship between GLps and microemulsion and confirms the importance of GLP in tumor accumulation and its anti-tumor effectiveness

[34]

GLP-BiNP

10 ± 3

electrostatic interaction between sulfhydrated GLP and BiNP

CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHCII cell lines (0–80 μg/mL, 0–24 h);

Xenograft mice (2.5 g/kg/day, 14 days)

–

GLPBiNP might offer an additional anti-inflammatory effect to counteract any potential toxicity resulting from the bismuth metal in the nanoparticles

[132]

rGO-Fe3O4-GL-PF

11.2 ± 4.8

Thermal process and oxidation and chemical absorption

A549 cell lines (0.1–150 μg/mL, 24 h)

NPs held great promise to develop specialized drug delivery systems for cancer therapy

[54]

GLP-RCPBA-DPA-DHA-HCPT

98.49 ± 5.16

Nanoprecipitation

MCF-7 cell lines (0.7 μg/mL, 0–72 h);

xenograft mice (10 mg/kg/2 days, 8 days)

28.34

The formulated nanoparticles effectively eliminate cancer cells, impede tumor progression, and result in minimal side effects

[142]

Gold NPs

38.3 ± 0.3

Chemical reduction

CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHCII cell lines (0–40 μg/mL, 0–24 h);

Xenograft mice (30 mg/kg/4 days, 12 days)

–

GLPs have the potential to be integrated into nanocomposites with immunoregulatory properties, thereby improving their effectiveness in cancer therapy

[137]

Gold NPs

25–29

Chemical reduction

HT-29 cell lines

–

The apoptotic effects on cancer cells were found to increase in a dose-dependent manner when treated with Gold NPs

[21]

EC-GLT-PVA-GLPs

221–253

layer-by-layer electrospinning

SGC-7901, A549, Hela and Caco-2 cell lines
