This study reports a novel magnetic and porous nanocomposite, FeO@CS@UIO-66-NH(Zr), developed by growing a zirconium-based metal-organic framework on magnetite-chitosan. It is designed for targeted and delayed pantoprazole delivery, the nanocomposite exhibits pH-sensitive behavior and functions as an efficient nanocarrier. The synthesis process involved coating magnetite nanoparticles with chitosan, followed by the growth of UIO-66-NH(Zr) on the coated nanoparticles.
