The mononuclear phagocytic system is a key participant determining the half-life of nanoparticles (NPs) in the bloodstream and influencing active targeting. Several strategies to extend the circulation time of nanoparticles and to reduce MPS (Mononuclear Phagocyte System) uptake have been developed so far. Here we evaluated the potential of albumin coated-mesoporous silica nanoparticles to overcome MPS clearance in a mouse model of endometrioses. We found that human albumin bath was able to reduce unspecific uptake by liver and spleen but reduced accumulation of NPs to endometriosis site. Our data suggest that although human albumin bath may help to overcome MPS clearance of NPs, it affects NPs uptake by the target site. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

High-Capacity Mesoporous Silica Nanocarriers of siRNA for Applications in Retinal Delivery

Amelia Ultimo, Mar Orzaez, Maria J. Santos-Martinez, Ramon Martinez-Manez, Maria D. Marcos, Felix Sancenon, Eduardo Ruiz-Hernandez

Summary: The abnormal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the main cause of subretinal neovascularisation in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Encapsulating anti-VEGF drugs in large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LP-MSNs) provides a potential solution for the issues in current AMD treatment, by improving drug penetration, retention time, and sustained release. In this study, an innovative LP-MSN-based nanosystem, functionalized with polyethylenimine (PEI) chains, is developed for topical administration of anti-VEGF siRNA molecules to RPE cells, demonstrating successful VEGF silencing.

Irena Khatrin, Iman Abdullah, Alan J. Mccue, Yuni K. Krisnandi

Summary: Hierarchical porous system with two types of mesopores provides a solution to the diffusion limitation in conventional zeolites. Cobalt oxide impregnated hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite samples with intra- and inter-crystalline mesopores were synthesized using two different strategies. The physicochemical properties of the modified catalysts were analyzed, revealing distinct features given by the two mesoporous configurations. Catalytic activity analysis showed that Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with inter-crystalline mesopores exhibited higher activity in methane partial oxidation reaction compared to Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with intra-crystalline mesopores.
