thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery

Authors
abstract

the present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. sba-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (mpts). the parent and thiol-functionalized sba-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). the characterization of all samples were done by small angle x-ray scattering (saxs), n2 adsorption/desorption, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem), ftir and uv spectroscopies. the adsorption and release properties of all samples were investigated. it was found that the surface functionalization increases the interaction between the carrier and gemcitabine and results in the loading enhancement of the drug. the obtained results reveal that the surface functionalization leads towards significant decrease of the drug release rate. these findings demonstrate that the functionalized mesoporous system is appropriate drug delivery platform due to their loading content and the possibility to modify drug release.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Vehicles in Cancer

Even though cancer treatment has improved over the recent decades, still more specific and effective treatment concepts are mandatory. Surgical removal is not always possible, metastases are challenging and chemo- and radiotherapy can not only have severe side-effects but also resistances may occur. To cope with these challenges more efficient therapies with fewer side-effects are required. One...

Functionalized carbon nanomaterials as nanocarriers for loading and delivery of a poorly water-soluble anticancer drug: a comparative study.

Carbon nanomaterials such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) have been functionalized by highly hydrophilic and biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for loading and delivery of an anticancer drug, camptothecin (CPT). For the first time, CPT was loaded onto MWCNT-PVA and GO-PVA through π-π interactions and its capability to kill human breast and skin cancer cells...

Biocompatible, surface functionalized mesoporous titania nanoparticles for intracellular imaging and anticancer drug delivery.

Mesoporous titania nanoparticles (MTNs) with excellent biocompatibility (LC(50)≈ 400 μg mL(-1)) and a large surface area (ca. 237.3 m(2) g(-1)) were synthesized and further functionalized with a phosphate-containing fluorescent molecule (i.e. flavin mononucleotide; FMN) and loaded with an anticancer drug (i.e. Doxorubicin) for successful intracellular bioimaging and drug delivery, respectively,...
