Rifampicin-Loaded Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Intracellular Infections

Abstract: Infectious diseases remain a major burden in today’s world, causing high mortality rates and significant economic losses, with >9 million deaths per year predicted by 2030. Invasion of host cells by intracellular bacteria poses treatment challenges due to the poor permeation of antimicrobials into the infected cells. To overcome these limitations, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) loaded with the antibiotic rifampicin were investigated as a nanocarrier system for the treatment of intracellular bacteria… Show more

“…Therefore, some researchers are trying to improve the activity of antibacterial drugs against SCV phenotypes of S. aureus by using nanoparticles. Subramaniam et al (2019), used the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) loaded with the rifampicin as a nanocarrier system in the treatment of intracellular infection caused by SCVs of S. aureus. In this study, the MSNP with two sizes 40 nm and 100 nm loaded with the rifampicin showed more bactericidal activity than rifampicin alone by enhancing the intracellular rifampicin uptake by RAW 264.7 macrophage infected with SCVs of S. aureus.…”

“…In another interesting set of contributions, Subramaniam et al and Joyce et al evaluated the behavior between MSNs with different particle sizes 41 and surface functionalization 42 to be tested on S. aureus intracellular infections. In these contributions the authors employed Hiroshima mesoporous materials (HMM) with sizes in the range of 40–100 nm and rifampicin as antibiotic cargo.…”

“…Considering the abovementioned advantages, authors have reported the use of MSNs containing peptides with antibacterial properties, aiming to prevent their enzymatic degradation potentiating their antimicrobial activity (110). It can also guarantee the same effect for loading antimicrobial proteins (115).…”
