“…Clay minerals have been used in the biomaterials area as a support for the transport of biologically active molecules due to their excellent chemical, physical, and non-toxic characteristics [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. A wide range of biologically active molecules has been used in systems with clay minerals as carriers, including doxorubicin [ 12 ], diclofenac [ 13 ], ketoprofen [ 14 ], and trimetazidine [ 15 ]. Amino acids have a broad spectrum of chemical reactivity, are involved in several biochemical processes, and present the possibility of modulating their interactions with solid surfaces, for example, pH, ionic strength, and others [ 16 ].…”
