In Vitro and In Vivo Studies of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles with Galactose Coating as a Prospective Drug Carrier.

ABSTRACT: In today's medicine, progress often depends on new products with special qualities. Nanotechnology focuses on the creation of materials tailored to fulfill specific therapeutic requirements. This study aims to elucidate the potential of nanoparticles, particularly titanium dioxide nanoparticles, as carriers for pharmaceutical agents. To mitigate the release of potentially harmful titanium ions from the carrier's surface, modifications were implemented. In the initial phase, titanium dioxide, nanoparticles were obtained based on the sol-gel method, and their surfaces were coated with galactose. Characterization of these materials encompassed analysis of the particle size, specific surface area, microscopic morphology, and titanium ion release. Additionally, drug release profiles, particular
