Data supporting the physico-chemical characterization, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of lipid nanocapsules Sánchez Moreno, Paola Ortega Vinuesa, Juan Luis Boulaiz Tassi, Houria Marchal Corrales, Juan Antonio Peula-García, José Manuel This work was supported by the projects MAT2010-20370 and MAT2013-43922-R (European FEDER support included, MICINN, Spain), PI10/02295 (Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Fondo de Investigacion Sanitaria, FEDER funds) and P07-FQM2496, P10-CTS-6270 and P07-FQM3099 (Junta de Andalucia, Spain). The aim of this data article is to provide data for a basic knowledge of the properties of lipid nanocapsules, a new colloidal system with very promising applications in drug delivery. Firstly, we pay attention on how it is possible to determine their surface composition by means of electrokinetics measurements. On the other hand, we provide experimental evidences for a better understanding of the factors that determine the interactions of these nanoparticles with cells as a necessary step to guide the design of the most effective formulations. Additionally, we supply information about encapsulation efficiency of docetaxel, a potent chemotherapy drug, inside nanocapsules supporting the experimental cytotoxicity results of these nanosystems. 2021-02-05T11:40:18Z 2021-02-05T11:40:18Z 2015-06-17 dataset P.
