Encapsulation of rifampin in a polymeric layer‐by‐layer structure for drug delivery

Abstract

Rifampin (RIF) is a bactericidal antibiotic drug and potent inducer of hepatic and intestinal cytochrome P-450 (CYP-450) enzyme systems. Given by mouth or intravenously, it can cause numerous clinical drug interactions; thus, alternative systems of drug delivery that bypass some or all of its toxic effects are well worth investigating. In this study, a controlled layer-by-layer (LBL) process of encapsulating RIF in biocompatible alginate and chitosan polymers loaded onto Fe O nanoparticles was developed. Fe O nanoparticles were synthesized from FeCl ·6H O using a hydrothermal procedure. Fluorescent molecular beacons containing RIF molecules and Texas Red were loaded onto the surfaces of Fe O nanoparticles. The loaded nanoparticles were encapsulated in alginate and chitosan layers with alternating negative and positive surface charge using an LBL self-assembly method. Subsequently, by removing the Fe O template particles, polymeric capsules containing RIF were obtained. Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry employed to determine optimized conditions for loading RIF, measure the amount of RIF loaded onto the surface of the nanoparticles under optimized conditions, and study drug-release capability. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of unloaded and loaded nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were applied to demonstrate the production of nanoparticles and loading of RIF onto them. Zeta potential analysis was used to determine the size and surface potential of the loaded polymeric layers. After removal of the core template, confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to isolate polymeric capsules containing RIF. The average size of the nanoparticles obtained was 23 nm. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 106A: 905-913, 2018.

In vivo, in vitro, and antibacterial activity of Fe3O4@RIF-BUP-CMCs-modified by fatty acids nanoparticles to remove drug liver toxins

“…These authors investigated Cytochrome P-450 3A CYP3A) enzymes RIF primarily in the liver and it found that toxicity inducted the cytochrome P 450 (RIF), which is used to increase drug metabolism. Recently, FAs have been used to control RIF release for regulating degradation in the stomach (Esmaeili and Khodaei 2018). Olive oil is a powerful antioxidant due to its unsaturated acids which have properties that can reduce free radicals in the human body (Greiner and Bäckhed 2011;Jeyaraman et al 2016).…”

“…The tendency of particles to repel each other is directly related to the zeta potential. In general, the limit of the suspension's stability and instability can be determined in terms of zeta potential.Show more Esmaeili and Khodaei [25] reported the negative ZPS of PU.
