Manganese oxide nanoparticles (Mn3O4 NPs) were synthesized and modified with an LHRH-targeting peptide or anti-melanoma antibodies (cancer-targeting moieties), as well as an MMP2 cleavable peptide (a possible chemotactic agent). Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were employed to entrap the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and enhance the drug’s cytotoxicity.
