ABSTRACT
Inhibiting inflammatory processes or eliminating inflammation represents a logical role in the suppression and treatment strategy of cancer. Several studies have shown that anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) act as anticancer agents while reducing metastases and mortality rate. NSAIDs are seriously limited by their side effects and toxicity, which can become cumulative with their long-term administration for chemoprevention. In the current ex vivo / in vitro study, the genotoxicity mechanisms of NSAIDS in bulk and nanoparticle forms allowed a strategy to prevent and minimise the damage in human lymphocytes. When compared to their bulk forms, acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) nano and ibuprofen nano (IBU N), both NSAIDs in 500 µg/mL concentration significantly decreased DNA damage measured by alkaline comet assay. Micronuclei (MNi) frequency also decreased after ASP N (500 µg/mL), ASP B (500 µg/mL) and IBU N (200 µg/mL) in prostate cancer patients and healthy individuals, however, the ibuprofen bulk (200 µg/mL) showed a significant increase in MNi formation in lymphocytes from healthy and prostate cancer patients when compared to the respective untreated lymphocytes. These findings suggest that a reduction in particle size had an impact on the reactivity of the drug, further emphasising the potential of nanoparticles to improve the current treatment options.
