Folic acid conjugated self-assembled layered double hydroxide nanoparticles for high-efficacy-targeted drug delivery

Abstract

Enhanced selectivity and efficacy is important for advanced drug delivery. Herein, a novel type of folic acid conjugated self-assembled layered double hydroxide nanoparticles is reported. These nanoparticles have a drug loading capacity of 27 wt% and are able to enter cell nuclei and dramatically improve the efficacy of MTX.
