Abstract
The flavonoid quercetin is extensively studied for its antioxidant and chemopreventive properties. However the poor water-solubility, low stability and short half-life could restrict its use in skin care products and therapy. The present study was aimed to evaluate the potential of aminopropyl functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NH2-MSN) as topical carrier system for quercetin delivery. Thermo gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction,...
