However, due to its slow rate of dissolution, high intestinal metabolism, and limited solubility in water, it has a low bioavailability throughout treatment. Due of its large surface area and compact size, nanocarriers such as biopolymer nanoparticles have been the focus of studies aimed at increasing the therapeutic efficiency of gossypetin. The silkworm, <em>Bombyx mori,</em> produces silk fibroin, a biologically compatible, biodegradable material with amphiphilic chemistry and strong mechanical properties that makes it a viable option for a controlled-releasing drug delivery system. This study explored the potential of G-SNPs by the desolvation method and was characterized via DLS, FTIR as well as TGA. MTT assay has been employed to cytotoxicity, while Western blot analysis and fluorescence-based labeling verified apoptotic cell death. The investigation demonstrates that the 148 nm sized G-SNPs nanoparticles have good encapsulation efficiency. Spectrophotometric investigation indicated efficient drug release control and encapsulation. Findings of the cytotoxicity experiment demonstrated the promising anticancer potential of G-SNPs against colorectal cancer cells. Western blot analysis and fluorescence-based labeling were used to validate apoptosis, and they also showed alterations in the expression of the proteins Bax and Bcl-2. In summary, gossypetin-loaded silk fibroin nanoparticles serve as a biodegradable as well as biocompatible delivery technology that could potentially be utilized for the treatment of colorectal cancer cells.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101014,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacological Research - Natural Products","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100785"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148241174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
