Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with 1–10 wt% loading of aluminum (Al) were prepared and characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, 29Si and 27Al NMR, FT-IR and FT-IR preadsorbed pyridine.

The purpose of this article is to synthesize the thiol-and carboxyl-bifunctionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMS-SH-COOH). CMS-SH-COOH was successfully synthesized by co-condensation and post-grafting methods. Moreover, the particle size and structural properties of CMS-SH-COOH were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The obtained results indicated that the CMS-SH-COOH presented a uniform spherical shape with a wormhole arrangement of the mesopores and a relatively narrow paticle distribition. Therefore, the CMS-SH-COOH might be a great potential carrier for the drug delivery system in the future.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were synthesised and functionalised with triethylenetetramine (MSN-TETA). The samples were fully characterised (transmission electron microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, zeta potential and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms) and used as carriers for the adsorption of the antimicrobial drug sulphamethizole (SMZ). SMZ loading, quantified by UV–Vis spectroscopy, was higher on MSN-TETA (345.8 mg g−1) compared with bare MSN (215.4 mg g−1) even in the presence of a lower surface area (671 vs. 942 m2 g−1). The kinetics of SMZ adsorption on MSN and MSN-TETA followed a pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption isotherm is described better by a Langmuir model rather than a Temkin or Freundlich model. Release kinetics showed a burst release of SMZ from bare MSN samples (k1 = 136 h−1) in contrast to a slower release found with MSN-TETA (k1 = 3.04 h−1), suggesting attractive intermolecular interactions slow down SMZ release from MSN-TETA. In summary, the MSN surface area did not influence SMZ adsorption and release. On the contrary, the design of an effective drug delivery system must consider the intermolecular interactions between the adsorbent and the adsorbate.

Conventional chemotherapies used for breast cancer (BC) treatment are non-selective, attacking both healthy and cancerous cells. Therefore, new technologies that enhance drug efficacy and ameliorate the off-target toxic effects exhibited by currently used anticancer drugs are urgently needed. Here we report the design and synthesis of novel mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) equipped with the hormonal drug tamoxifen (TAM) to facilitate guidance towards estrogen receptors (ERs) which are upregulated in breast tumours. TAM is linked to the MSNs using a poly-ʟ-histidine (PLH) polymer as a pH-sensitive gatekeeper, to ensure efficient delivery of encapsulated materials within the pores. XRD, HR-TEM, DLS, SEM, FT-IR and BET techniques were used to confirm the successful fabrication of MSNs. The MSNs have a high surface area (>1000 m2/g); and a mean particle size of 150 nm, which is an appropriate size to allow the penetration of premature blood vessels surrounding breast tumours. Successful surface functionalization was supported by FT-IR, XPS and TGA techniques, with a grafting ratio of approximately 29%. The outcomes of this preliminary work could be used as practical building blocks towards future formulations.
