Large mesopores of chiral silica nanoparticles applied as drug carrier are worth studying. In this study, chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSN) and enlarged chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (E-CMSN) with a particle size from 200 to 300 nm were synthesized. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), circular dichroism spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement were adopted to explore their characteristics. The results showed that the surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter of E-CMSN were higher than those of CMSN due to enlarged mesopores. Poorly water-soluble drug nimesulide (NMS) was taken as the model drug and loaded into carriers using adsorption method. After NMS was loaded into CMSN and E-CMSN, most crystalline NMS converted to amorphous phase and E-CMSN was superior. The anti-inflammatory pharmacodynamics and in vivo pharmacokinetics results were consistent with the wetting property and in vitro drug dissolution results, verifying that NMS/E-CMSN exhibited superior NMS delivery system based on its higher oral relative bioavailability and anti-inflammatory effect because its enlarge mesopores contributed to load and release more amorphous NMS. The minor variations in the synthesis process contributed to optimize the chiral nano-silica drug delivery system.
