Nanoparticles Deliver Riboflavin to Treat Keratoconus


Researchers develop nanoparticles that can deliver riboflavin solution into the eye to treat keratoconus without the removal of the corneal epithelium.

a) The XRD patterns of ZIF-8 NP, ZIF-8 NF, RF as well as RF@ZIF-8 composites obtained at different RF concentrations. b) The composites of ZIF-8 NP, ZIF-8 NF, and 6RF@ZIF-8 NF using ICP-MS analysis (P, Zn, Na), and elements analysis (C, H, O, N). c) FTIR of ZIF-8 NP, ZIF-8 NF, RF as well as RF@ZIF-8 composites with different concentration. d–f) XPS spectra of 6RF@ZIF-8 NF. g) N2 gas adsorption/desorption analysis of ZIF-8 NP, ZIF-8 NF, and 6RF@ZIF-8 NF. h) Excitation spectra of ZIF-8, RF and 6RF@ZIF-8 NF composites. i) The zeta potential of ZIF-8, RF and 6RF@ZIF-8 NF (deionized water, pH = 7, n ≥ 3).
