Surfactant-Triggered Molecular Gate Tested on Different Mesoporous Silica Supports for Gastrointestinal Controlled Delivery.

ABSTRACT: In recent decades, the versatility of mesoporous silica particles and their relevance to develop controlled release systems have been demonstrated. Within them, gated materials able to modulate payload delivery represent great advantages. However, the role played by the porous matrix in this kind of systems is scarce. In this work, different mesoporous silica materials (MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 and UVM-7) are functionalized with oleic acid as a molecular gate. All systems are fully characterized and their ability to confine the entrapped cargo and release it in the presence of bile salts is validated with release assays and in vitro digestion experiments. The cargo release profile of each synthesized support is studied, paying attention to the inorganic scaffold. Obtained release profiles fit to Korsmeyer-Peppas model, which explains the differences among the studied supports. Based on the results, UVM-7 material was the most appropriate system for duodenal delivery and was tested in an in vivo model of the Wistar rat. Payload confinement and its complete release after gastric emptying is achieved, establishing the possible use of mesoporous silica particles as protection and direct release agents into the duodenum and, hence, demonstrating that these systems could serve as an alternative to the administration methods employed until now.

Project description:Melanoma remains the most lethal form of skin cancer and most challenging to treat despite advances in the oncology field. Our work describes the utilization of nanotechnology to target melanoma locally in an attempt to provide an advanced and efficient quality of therapy. Amino-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH2) were developed in situ through the utilization of anionic surfactant and different volumes of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a co-structure directing agent (CSDA). Prepared particles were characterized for their morphology, particles size, 5-flurouracol (5-FU) and dexamethasone (DEX) loading capacity and release, skin penetration, and cytotoxicity in vitro in HT-144 melanoma cells. Results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm showed that using different volumes of APTES during the functionalization process had an impact on the internal and external morphology of the particles, as well as particle size. However, changing the volume of APTES did not affect the diameter of formed mesochannels, which was about 4 nm. MSN-NH2 showed a relatively high loading capacity of 5-FU (12.6 ± 5.5) and DEX (44.72 ± 4.21) when using drug: MSN-NH2 ratios of 5:1 for both drugs. The release profile showed that around 83% of 5-FU and 21% of DEX were released over 48 h in pH 7.4. The skin permeability study revealed that enhancement ratio of 5-Fu and DEX using MSN-NH2 were 4.67 and 5.68, respectively, relative to their free drugs counterparts. In addition, the accumulation of drugs in skin layers where melanoma cells usually reside were enhanced approximately 10 times with 5-FU and 5 times with DEX when delivering drugs using MSN-NH2 compared to control. MSN-NH2 alone was nontoxic to melanoma cells when incubated for 48 h in the range of 0 to 468 µg/mL. The combination of 5-FU MSN-NH2 and DEX MSN-NH2 showed significant increase in toxicity compared to their free dug counterparts and exhibited a synergetic effect as well as the ability to circumvent DEX induced 5-FU resistance in melanoma cells.
