The core objectives of the research were to prepare 5-fluorouracil nanoemulsion (FU-NE) and to evaluate the physiochemical properties and to study the in vitro antiproliferation in HepG2 cell lines. The physiochemical parameters determined were compatibility, particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), density, surface tension (ST), pH, viscosity, in vitro release of FU, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis study. The prepared FU-NE3 was stable, sterile, and homogeneous. On the HepG2 (120 μg.mL-1) cells, in vitro cytotoxicity was obtained at IC50 concentration. Apoptosis examination by AO/EBand Hoechst staining shows that the majority of cell demise was caused by apoptosis, with a tiny fraction of necrosis. Hence, this investigation concluded that the developed FU-NE has now desirable characteristics for drug delivery to the cancer cell and may be screened for the in vivo colorectal anticancer activity.
