Popis: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a condition associated with dysfunctional lipid metabolism and an inflammatory immune microenvironment that remains the leading cause of severe cardiovascular events. Drugs exhibiting both anti-inflammatory and lipid-scavenging activity hold great promise for treating AS. In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles loaded with losartan potassium (LP) were developed as an anti-AS treatment to target both of these therapeutic arms simultaneously. LP@ZIF-8 accumulated within AS target tissues via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, as confirmed
