Elimination of intracellular Ca²⁺ overload by BAPTA‑AM liposome nanoparticles: A promising treatment for acute pancreatitis

Calcium overload, a notable instigator of acute pancreatitis (AP), induces oxidative stress and an inflammatory cascade, subsequently activating both endogenous and exogenous apoptotic pathways. However, there is currently lack of available pharmaceutical interventions to alleviate AP by addressing calcium overload. In the present study, the potential clinical application of liposome nanoparticles (LNs) loaded with 1,2‑bis(2‑aminophenoxy)ethane‑N,N,N',N'‑tetraacetic acid tetrakis (acetoxymethyl ester) (BAPTA‑AM), a cell‑permeant calcium chelator, was investigated as a therapeutic approach for the management of AP. To establish the experimental models
