MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2024; 35:29. [PMID: 38884680 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-024-06797-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) coated by chitosan (CS) were shown to be a proper candidate as a carrier for drug delivery purposes. However, choosing the suitable drug-containing complexes to be applied on MSNPs-CS is of much greater importance to evaluate the possible candidate for an efficient combination of cell viability, drug release kinetics, and atherosclerosis prevention. In this regard, this study concentrates on the synthesis and assessment of coated MSNPs-CS designed for drug delivery purposes. The MSNPs are coated with polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) composed of CS and dextran sulfate (MSNPs-CS-DX), serving as a versatile drug carrier with favorable biological characteristics. CS-DX is applied to MSNPs without requiring complex or multi-step synthesis procedures. Rosuvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering medication, is chosen for its therapeutic relevance. Additionally, CS-DX is found to relatively impede the uptake of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) by macrophages, enhancing their potential therapeutic utility. FTIR pattern, FESEM, and TEM images prove MSNPs-CS-DX formation. DLS measurement demonstrates the average particle size of 110 nm for MSNPs, with the combined thickness of CS and DX layers ranging from 10 to 15 nm. BET test is carried out to evaluate the pore size and porosity of structure, showing outstanding results that cause an entrapment efficiency of 57% for MSNPs-CS-DX. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the pH sensitivity of MSNPs-CS-DX on drug release kinetics. Notably, the CS-DX layer exhibits a significant enhancement in cell viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by approximately 24% within a 24 h timeframe compared to MSNPs lacking CS-DX.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14687. [PMID: 37834134 PMCID: PMC10572865 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Due to their structural, morphological, and behavioral characteristics (e.g., large volume and adjustable pore size, wide functionalization possibilities, excellent biocompatibility, stability, and controlled biodegradation, the ability to protect cargoes against premature release and unwanted degradation), mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) are emerging as a promising diagnostic and delivery platform with a key role in the development of next-generation theranostics, nanovaccines, and formulations. In this study, MSPs with customized characteristics in-lab prepared were fully characterized and used as carriers for doxorubicin (DOX). The drug loading capacity and the release profile were evaluated in media with different pH values, mimicking the body conditions. The release data were fitted to Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, and Peppas-Sahlin kinetic models to evaluate the release constant and the mechanism. The in vitro behavior of functionalized silica particles showed an enhanced cytotoxicity on human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. Bio- and mucoadhesion on different substrates (synthetic cellulose membrane and porcine tissue mucosa)) and antimicrobial activity were successfully assessed, proving the ability of the OH- or the organically modified MSPs to act as antimicrobial and mucoadhesive platforms for drug delivery systems with synergistic effects.

Non-ionic surfactant-assisted controlled release of oxyresveratrol on dendritic fibrous silica for topical applications. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 646:342-353. [PMID: 37201462 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.05.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
We present a simple and eco-friendly method for controlled drug release using a surfactant-assisted method. Oxyresveratrol (ORES) was co-loaded with a non-ionic surfactant onto KCC-1, a dendritic fibrous silica, using an ethanol evaporation technique. The carriers were characterized using FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy, and the loading and encapsulation efficiencies were assessed using TGA and DSC techniques. Contact angle and zeta potential were used to determine the surfactant arrangement and the particle charges. To investigate the effects of different surfactants (Tween 20, Tween 40, Tween 80, Tween 85, and Span 80) on ORES release, we conducted experiments under different pH and temperature conditions. Results showed that the types of surfactants, drug loading content, pH, and temperature significantly affected the drug release profile. The percentage of drug loading efficiency of the carriers was in the range of 80 %-100 %, and the release of ORES was in the order of M/KCC-1 > M/K/S80 > M/K/T40 > M/K/T20 > MK/T80 > M/K/T85 at 24 h. Furthermore, the carriers provided excellent protection for ORES against UVA and maintained its antioxidant activity. KCC-1 and Span 80 enhanced the cytotoxicity to HaCaT cells, while Tween 80 suppressed the cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Our contributions to mesoporous silica materials in the field of biomedicine are reported in this article. This perspective article represents our work in the basics of the material, preparing different ranges of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with different diameters and with varied pore sizes. We demonstrated the high loading capacity of these materials. Additionally, the possibility of functionalizing both internal and external surface with different organic or inorganic moieties allowed the development of stimuli-responsive features which allowed a proper control on the administered dose. In addition, we have demonstrated that these carriers are not toxic, and we have also ensured that the load reaches its destination without affecting healthy tissues. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper presents my personal opinion and background on a hot topic as mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery. To this aim it provides a comprehensive and historical overview on the innovative contributions of my research group to this rapidly expanding field of research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nanotube-based drug delivery systems have received considerable attention because of their large internal volume to encapsulate the drug and the ability to penetrate tissues, cells, and bacteria. In this regard, understanding the interaction between the drug and the nanotube to evaluate the encapsulation behavior of the drug in the nanotube is of crucial importance. METHODS In this work, the encapsulation process of the cationic antimicrobial peptide named cRW3 in the biocompatible boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) was investigated under the Canonical ensemble (NVT) by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. RESULTS The peptide was absorbed into the BNNT by van der Waals (vdW) interaction between cRW3 and the BNNT, in which the vdW interaction decreased during the simulation process and reached the value of -142.7 kcal·mol-1 at 4 ns. DISCUSSION The increase in the potential mean force profile of the encapsulated peptide during the pulling process of cRW3 out of the nanotube showed that its insertion into the BNNT occurred spontaneously and that the inserted peptide had the desired stability. The energy barrier at the entrance of the BNNT caused a pause of 0.45 ns when half of the peptide was inside the BNNT during the encapsulation process. Therefore, during this period, the peptide experienced the weakest movement and the smallest conformational changes.
