Chitosan-capped enzyme-responsive hollow mesoporous silica nanoplatforms for colon-specific drug delivery
Abstract An enzyme-responsive colon-specific delivery system was developed based on hollow mesoporous silica spheres (HMSS) to which biodegradable chitosan (CS) was attached via cleavable azo bonds (HMSS–N=N–CS). Doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated in a noncrystalline state in the hollow cavity and m...
