Uio-68-Quercetin as a drug delivery platform for Quercetin

The drug delivery application of Zeolites as a drug carrying platforms have been investigated due to their unique structures which can encapsulated different ions and molecules. In present study, UIO-68 was successfully prepared by applied for delivery of Quercetin. Using variety of analytical methods containing FTIR, FESEM, and EDS the synthesized nanostructure was characterized. Based on the in vitro cytotoxicity results, Uio-68-Quercetin was able to increase cytotoxicity compared to that of Quercetin on A549 cancerous cells indicating the remarkable role of this drug delivery system.
