Coordination Polymer Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for pH-Responsive Drug Release

Coordination polymer coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery are successfully synthesized. The system ensures that drugs are stored in the mesopores under a physiological environment. Upon H+ stimulus in the endosomal and lysosomal compartments, the drugs are released into the intracellular organelles of cancer cells, effectively killing the cells.
