This study aimed to develop and evaluate PEGylated liposomal [6]-G (6-G-Lip) to enhance its stability, bioavailability, and chemopreventive efficacy in benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-induced lung carcinogenesis. Methods: 6-G-Lip was synthesized using a modified thin-film hydration technique and characterized for size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE%), and release kinetics. The chemopreventive effects were assessed in BaP-induced lung cancer in Swiss albino mice, with prophylactic 6-G-Lip administration from two weeks before BaP exposure through 21 weeks. Cancer biomarkers, antioxidant enzyme activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, induction of apoptosis, and histopathological alterations were analyzed. Results: 6-G-Lip exhibited a particle size of 129.7 nm, a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.16, a zeta potential of \u221218.2 mV, and an encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 91%, ensuring stability and effective drug loading. The formulation exhibited a controlled release profile, with 26.5% and 47.5% of [6]-G released in PBS and serum, respectively, at 72 h. 6-G-Lip significantly lowered cancer biomarkers, restored antioxidant defenses (SOD: 5.60 U\/min\/mg protein; CAT: 166.66 \u03bcm H2O2\/min\/mg protein), reduced lipid peroxidation (MDA: 3.3 nm\/min\/mg protein), and induced apoptosis (42.2%), highlighting its chemopreventive efficacy. Conclusions: This study is the first to prepare, characterize, and evaluate PEGylated [6]-G-Lip for the chemoprevention of lung cancer. It modulates oxidative stress, restores biochemical homeostasis, and selectively induces apoptosis. These findings support 6-G-Lip as a promising nanotherapeutic strategy for cancer prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph18040574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]],"date-time":"2025-04-15T08:11:39Z","timestamp":1744704699000},"page":"574","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lipid-Based Nanoformulations of [6]-Gingerol for the Chemoprevention of Benzo[a] Pyrene-Induced Lung Carcinogenesis: Preclinical Evidence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0850-5500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faris","family":"Alrumaihi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratories, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5960-3381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali Yousif","family":"Babiker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratories, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4528-2668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arif","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Health Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21834","article-title":"Global cancer statistics 2022: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"74","author":"Bray","year":"2024","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
