Dual functional hybrid-polyoxometalate as a new approach for multidrug delivery

In this work a novel platform for making a hybrid-polyoxometalate compound bearing two important functional groups, which are essential in drug delivery systems, were presented. This system was consisted of mesoporous silica nanoparticle as an organic drug carrier, redox-responsive disulfide bonds and a fluorescence dye attached to the POM. This hybrid-POM not only acts as an anticancer drug, but also could be used in DDSs.192
