Peroxidated olive oil nanoemulsion for cancer targeted therapy

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2015:2015:2580-3. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2015.7318919.

Abstract

A reactive oxygen species-mediated targeting system has been used to selectively kill cancer cells. Two different cell lines, normal and cancer cells, have been cultured and treated with a peroxide olive oil (K600) in simple solution and in form of nanoemulsion (N-K600). Preliminary results of both treatments have been compared.
