A recipe for optimizing TiO2 nanoparticles for drug delivery applications

Environmental exposure and nanotoxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in irrigation water with the flavonoid luteolin

“…The first pathway may be driven by the surface adsorption of luteolin onto TiO 2 NPs, as previous studies have shown the high potential of TiO 2 NPs on drug delivery and adsorption. 36 However, the second mechanism suggests that luteolin may partially transform due to the destructive behavior of induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in exposure to TiO 2 NPs. Therefore, further experimental analysis was carried out to elucidate the behavior of the luteolin in response to the toxicity of TiO 2 NPs.…”

Chitosan-Based Composite Membranes with Different Biocompatible Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Physicochemical Properties and Drug-Release Study

“…The crystalline structure and size could be other factors to take into consideration in drug-release experiments. TiO2 -anatase has a smaller crystal size and degrades faster in acidic pH conditions than TiO2 -rutile favoring drug release as a consequence [75]. It must be noted that for the rest of the prepared CS-NP composite membranes, a greater ASA transport was observed in SGF that in the SIF medium.…”

FericipXT-coated PEGylated rutile TiO2 nanoparticles in drug delivery: in vitro assessment of imatinib release

“…The procedure for synthesis was the same as adopted by us in our previous study with the only difference being that the quantity of the nitric acid was chosen to obtain the pH of the final solution 1.0. 13 Further, TiO 2 NPs were calcined at 800 °C to obtain the desired rutile phase. To enhance the magnetic behaviour of the rutile TiO 2 NPs, they were coated with FericipXT tablets (iron supplement) with a 1 : 1 core : shell ratio.…”
