Viability of L929 fibroblasts treated with free and PLGA nanoparticle-coated juglone (JNP) after 24 h (A) and 48 h (B); Cell viability was measured with the MTT assay. Values are expressed as means of quadruple samples with standard error. *statistically significant differences between juglone and JNP (p<0.05)
