To evaluate the biocompatibility of the formulation, a mitochondrial activity evaluation assay was conducted, and cell uptake was assessed. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), type-6 interleukin (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels. The in vivo anti-inflammatory effect was assessed by quantifying myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels using the carrageenan-induced paw edema model.Results: BFONc showed a particle size of 233 ± 22 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.17 ± 0.03, and a zeta potential of − 34 ± 2.6mV. BFONc revealed remarkable biocompatibility and did not induce changes in cell morphology. Furthermore, BFONc decreased ROS levels by 81 ± 4%; however, NO level increased by 72 ± 18%. TNF and IL-6 levels were reduced by approximately 10% and 90%, respectively. Significant in vivo anti-inflammatory activity was observed compared to dexamethasone. MPO levels were reduced up to 2 MPOs/mg.Conclusion: Taken together, the results pointed out the remarkable biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory effects of BFONc.Keywords: polyunsaturated fatty acids, bullfrog oil, nanocapsules, anti-inflammatory activityAmaral-Machado LOliveira WNTorres-Rêgo MFurtado AAAlencar ENFernandes-Pedrosa MFRocha HAOEgito ESTDove Medical Pressarticlepolyunsaturated fatty acidsbullfrog oilnanocapsulesanti-inflammatory activityMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 7353-7367 (2021)
