In vitro and in vivo studies of temozolomide loading in zeolite structures as drug delivery systems for glioblastoma

Zeolites Y (faujasite) and MOR (mordonite) were used as hosts for temozolomide (TMZ), a current good-standard chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of glioblastoma brain tumors. TMZ was loaded into zeolites by liquid-phase adsorption at controlled pH. FTIR, 1H NMR, MS, SEM, UV/vis and chemica...
