Microrod crystals formed via Rhein-mediated mineralization

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 17;59(67):10169-10172. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02527f.

Abstract

Herein, a Rhein-mineralized microrod crystal (H-RMM) with an ultra-high drug loading capacity was reported for anti-inflammation. Due to a dense crystal structure, the H-RMM achieved improved biocompatibility and sustained controlled release of Rhein. Also, the Rhein nanofibers released from H-RMM were favorable to be internalized by cells, leading to enhanced anti-inflammation effects.
