Viability of human lung carcinoma cells (A549) treated with QDs coated with MUA (a), Cys (b), LA (c), and QDs (d) functionalized with FA and DOX and free DOX. Data were obtained from three independent experiments (n = 6). ****P < 0.0001 vs. A549 cells treated with 50 µg·mL−1 of QD–MUA and QD–MUA–FA (unpaired t-test). QD Ag–In–Zn–S nanocrystals modified with: 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), Cys L-cysteine, LA lipoic acid, FA folic acid, DOX doxorubicin
