An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”
