a Comparative percent drug entrapment in selected nanocarriers, b cumulative drug release from selected nanocarries at pH 7.4 in PBS (pH 7.4): ethanol(7:3), and c at pH 4.0 in PBS(pH 4.0): ethanol(7:3). DTX, docetaxel; DTX-CNTs, CNT-based DTX formulation; DTX-NP, nanoparticles-based DTX formulation; DTX-DEN, dendrimer-based DTX formulation; DTX-LIP, liposome-based DTX formulation. Results are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3)
