This work, ‘Bao’ mango peel extract (MPE) was investigated for its antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. Furthermore, after encapsulation with chitosan-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA/CS) nanoparticles, it showed increasing of anticancer activity by affecting cell viability and inhibiting the cell migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, compared to the free MPE. Therefore, these findings indicated that MPE and CS-PLGA-(MPE) nanoparticles could be promising alternatives to chemicals used for breast cancer treatment.
