Modulating the controlled release of hydroxychloroquine mobilized on pectin films through film-forming pH and incorporation of nanocellulose

Materials from renewable resources like pectin and nanocelluloses are useful for the controlled release of drugs such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), whose potential for treating tumor cells was recently verified. In this study, pectin films with HCQ were produced by casting at different pH values (4,...
