Synthesis of PLGA-PEG encapsulated miltefosine nanoparticles has been done.
An IC50 value of PPEM (0.1 ug/ml), miltefosine (0.2 μg/ml) and AmpB (1 μg/ml) were observed two fold better efficacies.
Inhibition of amastigotes of PPEM (23.21 ± 23) was significantly more than miltefosine (89.22 ± 52.7) and AmpB (94.12 ± 55.1).
