Figure 1. Characterization of nanoparticles and rapamycin-nanoparticles. (A) Schematic illustration of rapamycin-nanoparticles fabrication process. (B)
Transmission electron microscopy images of nanoparticles and rapamycin-nanoparticles. Scale bars = 200 μm. (C) The sizes of each nanoparticle are
analyzed and expressed as a distribution graph. (D) The zeta potential of the nanoparticles and rapamycin-nanoparticles in phosphate-buffered saline (pH
= 7.4). (E) The cumulative release of rapamycin in nanoparticles is analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. (F) Drug loading
efficiency of rapamycin in nanoparticles. Abbreviations: CTAB, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide; NP, nanoparticle; Zn, zinc.
