Abstract

Water-insoluble compounds were encapsulated in polymer capsules through mesoporous silica nanoparticle-mediated layer-by-layer assembly. The drug-loaded capsules exhibit excellent colloidal stability and high potency to colorectal cancer cells in vitro with similar cytotoxicity to the free drug dissolved in organic solvent.
