In Silico and Glioblastoma Cell Line Evaluation of Thioflavin-Derived Zinc Nanoparticles Targeting Beclin Protein
The study highlights the promising anticancer potential of Th-ZnNPs. By overcoming the limitations of Thioflavin through nanotechnology, these NPs show significant therapeutic promise in targeting glioblastoma cells. The strong binding affinity between Th-ZnNPs and the Beclin protein, coupled with confirmed cytotoxic effects, underscores their potential as novel anticancer agents. This integrated approach not only enhances the delivery and efficacy of Thioflavin but also opens new avenues for targeted therapy in glioblastoma treatment.
