• nanohybrid possessed favourable sustained and controlled release properties as a drug carrier. In vitro bioassay PC12 cell lines PC12 is one of the most widely applied neuronal cell lines and can be used as a model to study secretory activity and catecholamine metabolism and regulation. In this study, we

• controlled release properties of the material using a Lambda 35 spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA). In order to study the functional groups present in the materials, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of the samples were recorded over the range of 4000–500 cm−1 on a 1752X FTIR (Perkin Elmer
