Polydopamine-doped mesoporous silica nanocomposites (PMSNs) were controllably synthesized by a one-pot approach. They were demonstrated to be good biodegradability, pH-responsive drug release and targeting synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy.

As non-phagocytic eukaryotic cells can internalize particles <1 μm in size, small size (25 to 110 nm) lipid nanocapsules (LNC) are proposed for the intracellular drug delivery of anticancer drugs to cancer cells. LNC ofdifferent diameters were loaded with etoposide or paclitaxel and subsequently tested for drug release kinetics and their efficiency to reduce cancer cell growth in cell culture. Relative high drug loads could be achieved and sustained drug release can be provided over a period ofseveral days (etoposide) up to a few weeks (paclitaxel). While particle size exhibited only minor influences on the release kinetics, higher initial drug load led to a distinctly lower burst release. In a cancer cell culture model, etoposide or paclitaxel LNC showed a 4-fold or 40-fold higher efficiency, respectively than the drug solution while blank LNC were found to be less toxic than the pure drug at equivalent concentrations. The uptake and intracellular accumulation ofLNC was confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy after fluorescence labeling of the nanocarriers. This nanoparticulate system is able to achieve efficient intracellular drug concentrations and seems to be therefore a promising therapeutic approach in cancer treatment.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) bearing poly(l-histidine)-grafted nanogates were prepared by surface-initiated ROP. The obtained polypeptide-functionalized MSNs were used as smart pH-responsive nanocarriers for controlled drug release applications.

The ZIF-8 is applied for the preparation of size tunable three-dimensional hollow mesoporous silica materials (HMSNs) and used as a novel pore blocker for pH-responsive intracellular drug delivery system by grafting it onto the HMSN.
