  1. Physicochemical parameters observed in the different sub-variations of albumin/PLGA nanosystems tested, as determined by dynamic light scattering.
  2. Values were determined as the mean of three runs (10 measurements/run).
  3. ALNP albumin/PLGA nanosystems, AlClPc aluminum chloride phthalocyanine, DA dopamine, HD hydrodynamic diameter, PDI polydispersity index, ζ-potential zeta potential.
