Biocompatibility of the empty and DOX-loaded polymeric nanoparticles against representatives for normal cells. Hemolytic activity (A) and cell viability study on monocytic cells and cardiomyocyte cells after addition of bare and DOX-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (B and D) and DOX in free form (C and E). Statistical significance for the polymeric nanoparticles without or with DOX or DOX at free form vs. control was marked with (*); comparison of DOX (0.5 µM) at free vs encapsulated form PNP-DOX marked with (^) comparison of PNP vs PNP-DOX marked with (&), concentrations dependent response for PNP-DOX marked with (#), p ≤ 0.05. The data presented constitute average results from three measurements ± SD
