Enhanced antibacterial activity of roxithromycin loaded pegylated poly lactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles

Abstract: Background and the purpose of the studyThe purpose of this study was to prepare pegylated poly lactide-co-glycolide (PEG-PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with roxithromycin (RXN) with appropriate physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity. Roxithromycin, a semi-synthetic derivative of erythromycin, is more stable than erythromycin under acidic conditions and exhibits improved clinical effects.MethodsRXN was loaded in pegylated PLGA NPs in different drug;polymer ratios by solvent evaporation techniqu… Show more

“…In contrast, the PLGA/GO NPs have much smaller particle sizes that increased the surface area, leading to an increase in the contact of GO with the bacterial cell wall. The efficiency of GO NPs in inhibiting bacterial growth could possibly be due to a few reasons: (1) the NPs were able to fuse to the bacterial cell wall, releasing the conjugated GO across the cell wall; (2) NPs were able to penetrate into the bacterial cells due to their large surface areas; (3) improving the hydrophilicity of GO leads to better delivery of GO to its site of action; and (4) the degree of diffusion of the GO NPs through the bacteria was higher than for the GO bulk form . Furthermore, it is obvious that there is no remarkable difference in the antibacterial activities of the NPs prepared at homogenization times of 10 and 15 min.…”

“…[ 63 ] Thus, it has been shown that the toxicity of copper oxide [ 62 ] and magnesium oxide [ 64 ] NPs increased when their size decreased, whatever the bacterial species used. To our knowledge, the antibacterial effect of PLGA‐NPs has never been investigated up to now, and some previous works on micrometric PLGA particles (from 100 nm to 50 µm) showed that they had no antibacterial effect, on S. aureus , [ 55 ] Staphylococcus epidermidis , [ 65 ] Bacillus subtilis , [ 65 ] Escherichia coli , [ 44 ] Salmonella typhimurium , [ 43 ] and Brucella . [ 66 ] The detailed antibacterial mechanisms of NPs have not been thoroughly explained.…”

“…A major interest in this area is to improve drug targeting towards tumor cells and decrease the unwilling effects of chemotherapeutics [ 1 - 3 ]. Nanotechnology is very promising in this field and increases the efficacy of targeting by introducing passive and active targeting [ 4 , 5 ].…”
