Shape control of mesoporous silica nanomaterials templated with dual cationic surfactants and their antibacterial activities.

ABSTRACT: Mesoporous silica nanomaterials of different shapes (film, platelet, sphere, rod) were synthesized simply by tuning the mole ratio of dual cationic surfactant templates, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetrabutylammonium iodine (TBAI). The film showed the most potent antibacterial activity against mycobacteria.

Encapsulation of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs within Mesoporous Silica and Intracellular Antibacterial Activities.

Project description:Tuberculosis is a major problem in public health. While new effective treatments to combat the disease are currently under development, they tend suffer from poor solubility often resulting in low and/or inconsistent oral bioavailability. Mesoporous materials are here investigated in an in vitro intracellular assay, for the effective delivery of compound PA-824; a poorly soluble bactericidal agent being developed against Tuberculosis (TB). Mesoporous materials enhance the solubility of PA-824; however, this is not translated into a higher antibacterial activity in TB-infected macrophages after 5 days of incubation, where similar values are obtained. The lack of improved activity may be due to insufficient release of the drug from the mesopores in the context of the cellular environment. However, these results show promising data for the use of mesoporous particles in the context of oral delivery with expected improvements in bioavailability.

Antibacterial and osteogenic activities of clindamycin-releasing mesoporous silica/carboxymethyl chitosan composite hydrogels.

Project description:Conventional treatment of jaw bone infection is often ineffective at controlling bacterial infection and enhancing bone regeneration. Biodegradable composite hydrogels comprised of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and clindamycin (CDM)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MCM-41), possessing dual antibacterial activity and osteogenic potency, were developed in the present study. CDM was successfully loaded into both untreated and plasma-treated MCM-41 nanoparticles, denoted as (p)-MCM-41, followed by the incorporation of each of CDM-loaded (p)-MCM-41 into CMCS. The resulting CDM-loaded composite hydrogels, (p)-MCM-41-CDM-CMCS, demonstrated slow degradation rates (about 70% remaining weight after 14-day immersion), while the CDM-free composite hydrogel entirely disintegrated after 4-day immersion. The plasma treatment was found to improve drug loading capacity and slow down initial drug burst effect. The prolonged releases of CDM from both (p)-MCM-41-CDM-CMCS retained their antibacterial effect against Streptococcus sanguinis for at least 14 days in vitro. In vitro assessment of osteogenic activity showed that the CDM-incorporated composite hydrogel was cytocompatible to human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and induced hMSC mineralization via p38-dependent upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity. In conclusion, novel (p)-MCM-41-CDM-CMCS hydrogels with combined controlled release of CDM and osteogenic potency were successfully developed for the first time, suggesting their potential clinical benefit for treatment of intraoral bone infection.

Modulation of microporous/mesoporous structures in self-templated cobalt-silica.

Project description:Finite control of pore size distributions is a highly desired attribute when producing porous materials. While many methodologies strive to produce such materials through one-pot strategies, oftentimes the pore structure requires post-treatment modification. In this study, modulation of pore size in cobalt-silica systems was investigated by a novel, non-destructive, self-templated method. These systems were produced from two cobalt-containing silica starting materials which differed by extent of condensation. These starting materials, sol (SG') and xerogel (XG'), were mixed with pure silica sol to produce materials containing 5-40 mol% Co. The resultant SG-series materials exhibited typical attributes for cobalt-silica systems: mesoporous characteristics developed at high cobalt concentrations, coinciding with Co3O4 formation; whereas, in the XG-series materials, these mesoporous characteristics were extensively suppressed. Based on an examination of the resultant materials a mechanism describing the pore size formation and modulation of the two systems was proposed. Pore size modulation in the XG-series was caused, in part, by the cobalt source acting as an autogenous template for the condensation of the silica network. These domains could be modified when wetted, allowing for the infiltration and subsequent condensation of silica oligomers into the pre-formed, mesoporous cages, leading to a reduction in the mesoporous content of the final product.

Robust Amino-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Hollow Spheres Templated by CO2 Bubbles.

Project description:Hollow-structured mesoporous silica has wide applications in catalysis and drug delivery due to its high surface area, large hollow space, and short diffusion mesochannels. However, the synthesis of hollow structures usually requires sacrificial templates, leading to increased production costs and environmental problems. Here, for the first time, amino-functionalized mesoporous silica hollow spheres were synthesized by using CO2 gaseous bubbles as templates. The assembly of anionic surfactants, co-structure directing agents, and inorganic silica precursors around CO2 bubbles formed the mesoporous silica shells. The hollow silica spheres, 200-400 nm in size with 20-30 nm spherical shell thickness, had abundant amine groups on the surface of the mesopores, indicating excellent applications for CO2 capture, Knoevenagel condensation reaction, and the controlled release of Drugs.

Lactoferrin-Anchored Tannylated Mesoporous Silica Nanomaterials for Enhanced Osteo-Differentiation Ability.

Project description:In the present study, we created lactoferrin-anchored mesoporous silica nanomaterials with absorbed tannic acid (LF/TA-MSNs) and evaluated the effect of these LF/TA-MSNs on the in vitro osteo-differentiation ability of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) by testing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level, calcium accumulation, and expression of osteo-differentiation-specific genes, including osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN). Both bare MSNs and LF/TA-MSNs exhibited round nano-particle structures. The LF/TA-MSNs demonstrated prolonged LF release for up to 28 days. Treatment of ADSCs with LF (50 μg)/TA-MSNs resulted in markedly higher ALP level and calcium accumulation compared to treatment with LF (10 μg)/TA-MSNs or bare MSNs. Furthermore, LF (50 μg)/TA-MSNs remarkably increased mRNA levels of osteo-differentiation-specific genes, including OCN and OPN, compared to MSNs or LF (10 μg)/TA-MSNs. Together, these data suggest that the ability of LF/TA-MSNs to enhance osteo-differentiation of ADSCs make them a possible nanovehicle for bone healing and bone regeneration in patients with bone defect or disease.

Ionic liquid-templated preparation of mesoporous silica embedded with nanocrystalline sulfated zirconia.

Project description:A series of mesoporous silicas impregnated with nanocrystalline sulphated zirconia was prepared by a sol-gel process using an ionic liquid-templated route. The physicochemical properties of the mesoporous sulphated zirconia materials were studied using characterisation techniques such as inductively coupled optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis, elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Analysis of the new silicas indicates isomorphous substitution of silicon with zirconium and reveals the presence of extremely small (< 10 nm) polydispersed zirconia nanoparticles in the materials with zirconium loadings from 27.77 to 41.4 wt.%.

One-Pot Hydrothermal Synthesis of Benzalkonium-Templated Mesostructured Silica Antibacterial Agents.

Project description:Novel mesostructured silica microparticles are synthesized, characterized, and investigated as a drug delivery system (DDS) for antimicrobial applications. The materials exhibit a relatively high density (0.56 g per 1 g SiO2) of benzalkonium chloride (BAC), pore channels of 18 Å in width, and a high surface area (1500 m2/g). Comparison of the small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD) pattern with Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size distribution data suggests that the 18 Å pores exhibit short-range ordering and a wall thickness of ca. 12 Å. Drug release studies demonstrate pH-responsive controlled release of BAC without additional surface modification of the materials. Prolonged drug release data were analyzed using a power law (Korsmeyer-Peppas) model and indicate substantial differences in release mechanism in acidic (pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.5) versus neutral (pH 7.4) solutions. Microbiological assays demonstrate a significant time-dependent reduction in Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica viability above 10 and 130 mg L-1 of the synthesized materials, respectively. The viability of cells is reduced over time compared to control samples. The findings will help in widening the use of BAC as a disinfectant and bactericidal agent, especially in pharmaceutical and food industries where Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial contamination is common.

Microfluidics-mediated self-template synthesis of anisotropic hollow ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials.

Project description:Herein, a facile strategy was firstly developed to synthesize ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) with well-ordered parallel channels along the short axis. A miniaturized microfluidic device with spiral-shaped channels was then chosen as a straightforward and general platform to produce the corresponding hollow counterparts of MSNs under mild conditions. Such reaction process carried out in a microfluidic system was further demonstrated to be more rapid and efficient than conventional batch method under equivalent experimental conditions. The evolution of hollow structure can be well-tuned by flow rates (i.e., etching time), providing new paradigm for rational design and engineering of anisotropic nanostructures.

Osteogenic and antibacterial dual functions of a novel levofloxacin loaded mesoporous silica microspheres/nano-hydroxyapatite/polyurethane composite scaffold.

Project description:Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU has been proved to be a novel scaffold material to treat bone defect caused by chronic osteomyelitis. We have previously identified that this material can effectively treat chronic osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in vivo. However, the potential mechanisms of antibacterial and osteogenic induction properties remain unclear. Thus, for osteogenesis property, immunohistochemistry, PCR, and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of osteogenic markers. Furthermore, flow cytometry and TUNEL were applied to analyze MC3T3-E1 proliferation and apoptosis. For antibacterial property, the material was co-cultivated with bacteria, bacterial colony forming units was counted and the release time of the effective levofloxacin was assayed by agar disc-diffusion test. Moreover, scanning electron microscope was applied to observe adhesion of bacteria. In terms of osteogenic induction, we found BMSCs adherently grew more prominently on Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU. Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU also enhanced the expression of osteogenic markers including OCN and COL1α1, as well as effectively promoted the transition from G1 phase to G2 phase. Furthermore, Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU could reduce apoptosis of MC3T3-E1. Besides, both Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU and n-HA/PU materials could inhibit bacterial colonies, while Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU possessed a stronger antibacterial activities, and lower bacterial adhesion than n-HA/PU. These results illustrated that Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU composite scaffold possess favorable compatibility in vitro, which induce osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, promote proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1, and inhibit apoptosis. Moreover, clear in vitro antibacterial effect of Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU was also observed. In summary, this study replenishes the potential of Lev/MSNs/n-HA/PU composite scaffold possess dual functions of anti-infection and enhanced osteogenesis for future clinical application.

Antibacterial performance of nanocrystallined titania confined in mesoporous silica nanotubes.

Project description:In this paper, we study synthesis and characteristics of mesoporous silica nanotubes modified by titanium dioxide, as well as their antimicrobial properties and influence on mitochondrial activity of mouse fibroblast L929. Nanocrystalized titania is confined in mesopores of silica nanotubes and its light activated antibacterial response is revealed. The analysis of the antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli. (ATCC 25922) shows strong enhancement during irradiation with the artificial visible and ultraviolet light in respect to the commercial catalyst and control sample free from the nanomaterials. In darkness, the mesoporous silica/titania nanostructures exhibited antibacterial activity dependent on the stirring speed of the suspension containing nanomaterials. Obtained micrograph proved internalization of the sample into the microorganism trough the cell membrane. The analysis of the mitochondrial activity and amount of lactate dehydrogenase released from mouse fibroblast cells L929 in the presence of the sample were determined with LDH and WST1 assays, respectively. The synthesized silica/titania antibacterial agent also exhibits pronounced photoinduced inactivation of the bacterial growth under the artificial visible and UV light irritation in respect to the commercial catalyst. Additionally, mesoporous silica/titania nanotubes were characterized in details by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), XRD and BET Isotherm.
