Abstract
Nanoparticle based drug carriers have attracted considerable interest in drug delivery applications. However, their low drug loading efficiency of certain chemotherapeutic agents, insufficient cellular uptake, and limited in-vitro efficacy remain a significant challenge. In this study, we have synthesized and characterized MgO@silica core-shell nanoparticles with distinct surface morphologies: MgO@silica-smooth(S) and MgO@silica-rough(R). The rough-surfaced MgO@silica-R exhibited a significantly higher surface area and drug encapsulation efficiency (∼97 %) for the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox), compared to the smooth MgO@silica-S counterpart (∼37 %). The rough morphology of MgO@silica-R resulted in sustained drug release and a 2.5-fold increase in cellular uptake inside C6 glioma cells as compared to free Dox. Dox-loaded MgO@silica-R showed superior anticancer efficacy, inducing ∼90 % cell death, surpassing both MgO@silica-S and free Dox. These findings underscore the potential of MgO@silica-based nanoparticles, particularly those with rough surface properties, as effective carriers for targeted drug delivery and cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
