Nanocomposite based on Gd2O3 nanoparticles and drug 5-fluorouracil as potential theranostic nano-cargo system.

We have prepared silica matrix with hexagonal symmetry of pores (SBA-15) and loaded it with anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) to promote it as a drug delivery system. Gd2O3 nanoparticles were incorporated into the matrix to enhance nanosystems applicability as contrast agent for MRI, thus enable... View More
