Comparative efficacy of <i>Knema retusa</i> extract delivery <i>via</i> PEG-<i>b</i>-PCL, niosome, and their combination against <i>Acanthamoeba triangularis</i> genotype T4: characterization, inhibition, anti-adhesion, and cytotoxic activity
Indeed, niosome and niosome plus PEG-<i>b</i>-PCL were suitable nanocarrier-loaded KRe, and they had a greater nanoparticle property to test with high activities against <i>A. triangularis</i> on the reduction of adherence ability and demonstration of its low toxicity to VERO and HaCaT cells.
