All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an effective agent that induces differentiation, inhibits cell proliferation, and acts as an anticancer agent. ATRA was successfully conjugated with Pluronic F127 via esterification to enhance its anticancer effects. Pluronic-ATRA showed high cytotoxicity and inhibitory concentrations (IC<sub>50</sub>) 50% lower than those of ATRA in various breast cancer cell lines (4T1:31.16-8.57 μg/mL; EMT6: 50.48-7.08 μg/mL; MDA-MB-231:37.58-8.99 μg/mL; BT474:25.27-9.09 μg/m ...[more]
