Abstract
Calcium doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles were successfully prepared and employed as efficient drug carriers for alendronate delivery. The incorporation of calcium ions dramatically enhanced the drug loading capacity and sustained release rate. The loaded alendronate more efficiently inhibited the growth of HeLa cancer cells than free drug.
