Abstract:
In this study, the new solid lipid nanoparticles were created by combining fluorescent dye, fatty acid, lipid, and bacterial outer membranes. The synthesised particles were roughly 95-100 nm in size. Vero cells cultivated with these nanoparticles showed no cytotoxicity in 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. In the cell uptake studies, the vero cell line was employed. Cell lines absorbed fluorescent solid lipid nanoparticles (FSL NPs) better, according to the findings. The confocal microscopy results revealed a significant accumulation of FSL NPs in the cytoplasm over time. The results of small animal imaging employing BALB/c mice revealed that the nanoparticles generated provided high contrast signals. Overall, the OMVs-based FSL NPs system offers a unique imaging tool for studying intracellular interactions as well as a viable tool for drug delivery.
