In vivo Biodistribution and Urinary Excretion of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles: Effects of Particle Size and PEGylation

Abstract: The in vivo biodistribution and urinary excretion of spherical mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are evaluated by tail-vein injection in ICR mice, and the effects of the particle size and PEGylation are investigated. The results indicate that both MSNs and PEGylated MSNs of different particle sizes (80-360 nm) distribute mainly in the liver and spleen, a minority of them in the lungs, and a few in the kidney and heart. The PEGylated MSNs of smaller particle size escape more easily from capture by liver, s… Show more

“…The biocompatibility of MSNs and several carbon-based biomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes and graphene) have been systematically investigated using several metrics, including biodistribution, excretion, biodegradation, histocompatibility, and hemocompatibility [102][103][104][105][106][107]. They have been demonstrated to be non-toxic at desirable doses.…”

“…Mesoporous silica NP has also become a multifunctional delivery platform that has been shown at both in vitro and in vivo levels to be capable of delivering chemotherapeutic agents to a variety of cancer cell types (Lee et al 2009;Meng et al 2010;He et al 2011). The major advantage of using a mesoporous silica based carrier is that its internal ordered pore structures may be tailored to host differently sized drug molecules and its release profile can be predetermined.…”
