摘要

Dextran-based single chain polymeric nanoparticles (DXT-SCPN) were developed as drug delivery system to enhance inhalation-based antibiotic and improve biofilm penetration. The nanoparticles carry negative charges, allowing electrostatic interactions with positively-charged molecules at physiological pH. Apramycin (apry), a positively charged antibiotic, could interact with anionic DXT-SCPN. Here, we aimed at studying the effect of the main physico-chemical parameters of DXT-SCPN, i.e. degree of cross-linking (CL) and substitution (DS), on their interactions with apry. Thus, by adjusting the reaction parameters, DXT-SCPN were produced with CL at 5% and 15%, while DS could be adjusted at 25, 50 and 70%. The resulting nanoparticles exhibited hydrodynamic diameters comprised between 13 and 17 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.26–0.32, while the number-averaged-diameter determined by Transmission Electron Microscopy was found to be 7–12 nm. As expected, DS proved to affect significantly DXT-SCPN ζ-potential as higher number of anionic carboxylate groups, more negatively charged nanoparticles, resulted in higher amount of interactions with apry, from 20 to 40 wt% as DS increased. Surface tension studies have shown that all DXT-SCPNapry nano-formulation, except for lower DS, showed sufficient interfacial activity, from 59.34 to 62.07 mN/m, to anticipate good nebulization for future administration by inhalation. Finally, the higher cytocompatible concentration of the nano-formulation for A549, a lung cell line, was found to be around 10 mg/mL. Altogether it was found that the nano-antibiotic with better stability and higher cytocompatibility was obtained for DXT-SCPN with DS at 50% and CL of 5% formulated with 30 wt% of apry.
