Magnetoliposomes were placed into the biomedical spotlight due to their unique structure, preserving also magnetic features valuable for biomedical applications. The present study provides a preliminary evidence of the cytotoxicity induced by betulinic acid-loaded magnetoliposomes (BA-Fe3O4@Lip) on two melanoma cell lines - A375 and B164A5 cells and one healthy cell line - mice epidermis JB6 Cl 41-5a cells, augmented by references to potential biomedical applications. BA-Fe3O4@Lip showed significant cytotoxicity on the melanoma cell lines, compared with the blank liposomal structures. In addition, the healthy cell line displayed good viability rate after exposure to BA-Fe3O4@Lip.
