Aim: The study explores the synergistic potential of atorvastatin (ATR) and quercetin (QUER)- loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) in combating breast cancer. Materials & methods: SLNs were synthesized using a high-shear homogenization method and optimized using Box-Behnken design. The SLNs were characterized and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity. Results: The optimized SLN exhibited narrow size distribution (PDI = 0.338 ± 0.034), a particle size of 72.5 ± 6.5 nm, higher entrapment efficiency (<90%), sustained release and spherical surface particles. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies showed a significant reduction in IC50 values on MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Conclusion: We report a novel strategy of repurposing well-known drugs and encapsulating them into SLNs as a promising drug-delivery system against breast cancer.
