Schematic illustration of preparation of hyaluronic acid-conjugated silica nanoparticles.

Notes: 5-fluorouracil was used as a model drug to load in the nanoparticles. The carboxylic group of HA was activated and conjugated with the amine functional group of silica nanoparticles.

Abbreviations: HA, hyaluronic acid; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil; NP, nanoparticles.
