Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Drug Delivery Capabilities of (Zn, Al)-Based Layered Double Hydroxide Nanoparticles

Figure 8

The effect of (Zn, Al)-LDH nanoparticles intercalated with valproate (Zn, Al, VP) on the viability of cultured pancreatic cancer BXPC3 cells. The effect of nanoparticles without the drug was assessed by using (Zn, Al)-LDH nanoparticles intercalated with either carbonate (Zn, Al, CO₃), chloride (Zn, Al, Cl), or nitrate (Zn, Al, NO₃) anions.
