Abstract
AbstractStable selenium nanoparticles were synthesized in a sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) solution with a degree of substitution of 0.85 and an average molar weight of 250 000. The shape and size of selenium nanoparticles were determined by dynamic light scattering and UV spectroscopy. It was found that the nanoparticles coated with Na-CMC are stable upon storage for 28 days. A significant prolongation of the release of the prospidine antitumor agent from stabilized nanoparticles has been shown. Broad spectrum drugs, in particular, anticancer drugs and drugs that compensate for selenium deficiency in the body can be produced based on the selenium nanoparticles coated with Na-CMC.
