摘要: Abstract Enzyme-prodrug combination is a recognized therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer cells. Cytosine deaminases (CD) are non-mammalian proteins perceived to convert prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), into active antitumor agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). In this study, we have synthesized 5-FC as well 5-FU loaded chitosan-silver nanoparticles in green synthesis approach, with high yield. The size was ascertained be below 25 nm, thus proficient penetrating Investigation human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-468 manifested potent cytotoxicity compared prodrug, nanoparticles. E. coli CD (ECD) effectively hydrolyzes but inert silver
