Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are known as carriers with high loading capacity
and large functionalizable surface area for target-directed delivery. In this study, a series of
docetaxel-loaded folic acid-or methionine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles
(DTX/MSN-FA or DTX/MSN-Met) with large pores and amine groups at inner pore surface
properties were prepared. The results showed that the MSNs were successfully synthesized,
having good pay load and pH-sensitive drug release kinetics. The cellular investigation on …
