Xanthan Gum Mediated Nanocarriers in Cancer Therapy

A study in mice with melanoma found that it significantly slowed the growth of cancerous tumors and prolonged life. Xanthan gum has been used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Xanthan gum may help lower or stabilize blood sugar—Xanthan Gum in synthesizing gold nanoparticles. Xanthan gum is a complex exopolysaccharide produced by the plant-pathogenic bacterium Xantho monas campestris and is used as a thickener or viscosities. We examined in this study the antitumor effects of xanthan gum. In foods, xanthan gum is common in salad dressings and sauces. It helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion. Xanthan Gum was used as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. Xanthan gum is a substance used in making some foods and medications. Xanthan gum is produced by fermenting a carbohydrate a substance that contains sugar.(1,2,3).
