On-chip fabrication of calcium carbonate nanoparticles loaded with various compounds using microfluidic approach.

Engineered calcium carbonate (CaCO) particles are extensively used as drug delivery systems due to their availability, biological compatibility, biodegradability, and cost-effective production. The synthesis procedure of CaCO particles, however, suffers from poor reproducibility. Furthermore, reducing the size of CaCO particles to <100 nm requires the use of additives in the reaction, which increases the total reaction time.

One-Pot Synthesis of Affordable Redox-Responsive Drug Delivery System Based on Trithiocyanuric Acid Nanoparticles.

Redox-responsive drug delivery systems present a promising avenue for drug delivery due to their ability to leverage the unique redox environment within tumor cells. In this work, we describe a facile and cost-effective one-pot synthesis method for a redox-responsive delivery system based on novel trithiocyanuric acid (TTCA) nanoparticles (NPs). We conduct a thorough investigation of the impact of various synthesis parameters on the morphology, stability, and loading capacity of these NPs.
