Chemotherapies for breast cancer generally have strong cytotoxicity and severe side effects. Thus, significant emphasis has been placed on combinations of naturally occurring chemo preventive agents. Silibinin is a major bioactive flavonolignan extracted from milk thistle with known chemo preventive activity in various organs. However, the mechanism underlying the inhibitory action of Silibinin in breast cancer has not been completely elucidated. Several investigations have been and are being conducted, to study the effect of Silibinin in human breast cancer cells and protective effect in normal cells. The aim of the present article is to review and summarize the physical properties, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, role and potential of Silibinin in breast cancer.

: An anticancer drug, cisplatin (CDDP) conjugated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) via L-Lysine (Lys) linker exhibiting a significant toxicity against cancer cells. The produced nanodrug (GNPs-Lys-CDDP) was charachterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Zeta potentials and electron force microscopy. The cytotoxic efficacy of the GNPs-Lys-CDDP against human breast cancer cells (SKBR3) and normal cells (MCF-10A) was evaluatedby MTT assay. Cell apoptosis and morphology changes were assessed by flowcytometery and acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EtBr) staining, respectively. It was found that the GNPs-Lys-CDDP with a size of 85 nm and negatively charged with a zeta-potential of about −25 mV could be taken up by tumor cells. A marked change in the UV spectrum of GNPs-LysCDDP compare to GNPs showed a strong absorption shift in the 525 nm region. The LD50 of GNPs-Lys-CDDP against SKBR3 (1 µg.ml-1), was found to be 8 times lower than that of naked CDDP against SKBR3 (8 µg.ml-1). The nanocomplex GNPs-Lys-CDDP also significantly increased the apoptosis of SKBR3 with the lowest cytotoxic effects on normal cells. This work indicates that GNPs effectively could decrease the lethal dose of CDDP to 87%. Hence, GNPs modified by Lys, could be a good nano-carrier for chemotherapeutic drugs.
