Farjadian F, Heidari R, Mohammadi-Samani S. In vivo treatment of zinc phosphide poisoning by administration of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as an effective antidote agent. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29458. [PMID: 38681564 PMCID: PMC11046115 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are highly advanced engineered particles with increased surface area and extreme adsorption capacity for various molecules. Herein, two types of MSNs were synthesized and applied as adsorbents for phosphine gas. One was without functional groups (MSN), and the other was post-modified with boric acid (MSN-BA). The structures of MSN and boric acid-modified MSN with high surface areas of about 1025 and 650 m2/g, respectively, were defined. MSN was found to have particles with sizes around 30 nm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the present study, MSNs were used as an antidote to phosphorus poisoning, and zinc phosphide (phosphorus) powder was used as the toxic and lethal agent. In vivo analysis was carried out on rats to demonstrate the ability of MSNs to chemisorb phosphine gas. In the survival percentage assessment, Phos-poisoned animals were kept alive after treatment with MSNs, and the MSN-BA-treated group (dose of 5 mg/kg) was shown to have a 60 % survival rate. Blood serum analysis showed that MSNs have a high potential to alleviate organ blood damage, and serum biomarkers dropped sharply while phosphine-poisoned animals were treated with MSN-BA.

Glucosamine-Modified Mesoporous Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles: A "Raisin-Cake"-like Structure as an Efficient Theranostic Platform for Targeted Methotrexate Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2491. [PMID: 37896251 PMCID: PMC10610088 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15102491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of glucosamine-modified mesoporous silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a therapeutic platform for the delivery of an anticancer drug, methotrexate (MTX). The MNPs were coated with mesoporous silica in a templated sol-gel process to form MNP@MSN, and then chloropropyl groups were added to the structure in a post-modification reaction. Glucosamine was then reacted with the chloro-modified structure, and methotrexate was conjugated to the hydroxyl group of the glucose. The prepared structure was characterized using techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis (CHN), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Good formation of nano-sized MNPs and MNP@MSN was observed via particle size monitoring. The modified glucosamine structure showed a controlled release profile of methotrexate in simulated tumor fluid. In vitro evaluation using the 4T1 breast cancer cell line showed the cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle effects of methotrexate. The MTT assay showed comparable toxicity between MTX-loaded nanoparticles and free MTX. The structure could act as a glucose transporter-targeting agent and showed increased uptake in cancer cells. An in vivo breast cancer model was established in BALB/C mice, and the distribution of MTX-conjugated MNP@MSN particles was visualized using MRI. The MTX-conjugated particles showed significant anti-tumor potential together with MRI contrast enhancement.

Abstract
Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is widely used for protecting grains from pests. AlP releases toxic phosphine gas (PH3) while exposed to humidity. Poisoning with these tablets is dangerous and can cause death or serious injuries. Up to now, no definite antidote has been introduced for specific treatment of this poisoning. Sevelamer carbonate or sevelamer hydrochloride (Renagel) is a polymeric pharmaceutical prescribed for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Sevelamer can bind with phosphate groups and act as an anion exchanger. Herein, sevelamer is repurposed as a potent antidote agent in phosphine gas poisoning. In vivo evaluation was conducted on male Sprague Dawley rats. The evaluation was conducted on three groups of animals: control, AlP-poisoned, and AlP-poisoned treated with sevelamer. Survival percentage, serum biomarkers level of organ injury, and ATP level were recorded. The results indicate a high survival rate in sevelamer-treated animals compared with the AlP-poisoned group (75% vs. 0% respectively, 48 h after poisoning). The analysis of serum markers of organ injury also showed that sevelamer could reduce toxicity and organ injury in poisoned animals. ATP level of separate organs showed that sevelamer treated groups were recovered. The results showed that sevelamer could be a potent antidote for managing aluminum phosphide poisoning. Moreover, a mechanism is suggested for the interaction of sevelamer with phosphine gas.

Abstract
Nanoparticles offer numerous advantages in various fields of science, particularly in medicine. Over recent years, the use of nanoparticles in disease diagnosis and treatments has increased dramatically by the development of stimuli-responsive nano-systems, which can respond to internal or external stimuli. In the last 10 years, many preclinical studies were performed on physically triggered nano-systems to develop and optimize stable, precise, and selective therapeutic or diagnostic agents. In this regard, the systems must meet the requirements of efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and safety before clinical investigation. Several undesired aspects need to be addressed to successfully translate these physical stimuli-responsive nano-systems, as biomaterials, into clinical practice. These have to be commonly taken into account when developing physically triggered systems; thus, also applicable for nano-systems based on nanomaterials. This review focuses on physically triggered nano-systems (PTNSs), with diagnostic or therapeutic and theranostic applications. Several types of physically triggered nano-systems based on polymeric micelles and hydrogels, mesoporous silica, and magnets are reviewed and discussed in various aspects.

Abstract
The use of enterosorbents—materials which can be administered orally and eliminate toxic substances from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by sorption—offers an attractive complementary protection of humans against acute and chronic poisoning. In this study, we report the results of developing a microgranulated binary biomedical preparation for oral use. It was designed with a core-shell structure based on pectin with low degree of esterification as the core, and nanoporous activated carbon produced from rice husk, AC-RH, as the shell, designated as AC-RH@pectin. The adsorption properties of the synthesized materials were studied in aqueous solutions for the removal of lead (II) nitrate as a representative of toxic polyvalent metals and sodium diclofenac as an example of a medicinal drug. The composite enterosorbent demonstrated high adsorption capacity for both adsorbates studied. Adsorption kinetics of lead and diclofenac adsorption by AC-RH, pectin, and AC-RH@pectin, fitted well a pseudo-second-order model. According to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, the best fitted isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacity, qmax, of AC-RH@pectin for diclofenac and for lead (II) was 130.9 mg/g and 227.8 mg/g, respectively. Although qmax of AC-RH for diclofenac, 537.6 mg/g, and qmax of pectin for lead (II), 245.7 mg/g, were higher, the maximum adsorption capacity of AC-RH for lead (II), 52.7 mg/g, was much lower than that of the composite AC-RH@pectin and the adsorption capacity of pectin for diclofenac was negligible. Therefore, the composite material AC-RH@pectin demonstrated substantial efficiency of removing both species which potentially defines it as a more universal enterosorbent suitable for treating poisoning caused by substances of different chemical nature.

Abstract
Losartan potassium is most commonly used for the treatment of hypertension. In recent years, new applications of this drug have emerged, encouraging the design of novel nanoporous carriers for its adsorption and release. The purpose of this study was to synthesize ordered mesoporous carbon vehicles via a soft-templating method altered with the use of nitrogen precursors and via a hard-templating method followed by chitosan functionalization. As a result, the materials obtained differed in nitrogen content as well as in the number of total surface functional groups. The impact of the modification on the physicochemical properties of carbon carriers and their interaction with losartan potassium during adsorption and release processes was examined. The materials were characterized by various morphologies, specific surface areas (101–1180 m2 g−1), and the amount of acidic/basic oxygen-containing functional groups (1.26–4.27 mmol g−1). These features, along with pore sizes and volumes, had a key effect on the sorption capacity of carbon carriers towards losartan potassium (59–161 mg g−1). Moreover, they contributed to the differential release of the drug (18.56–90.46%). Losartan potassium adsorption onto the surface of carbonaceous materials was mainly based on the formation of hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions and followed the Langmuir type isotherm. It has been shown that the choice of the method of carbon carriers’ synthesis and their modification allows for the precise control of the kinetics of the losartan potassium release from their surface, resulting in rapid or sustained drug liberation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mesoporous silica (MSNs) have attracted considerable attention for its application in the field of drug delivery and biomedicine due to its high surface area, large pore volume, and low toxicity. Recently, numerous studies revealed that gut microbiota is of critical relevance to host health. However, the toxicological studies of MSNs were mainly based on the degradation, biodistribution, and excretion in mammalian after oral administration for now. Here in this study, we explored the impacts of oral administration of three kinds of MSNs on gut microbiota in rats to assess its potential toxicity. METHODS Forty rats were divided into four groups: control group; Mobil Composition of Matter No. 41 type mesoporous silica (MCM-41) group; Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 type mesoporous silica (SBA-15) group, and biodegradable dendritic center-radial mesoporous silica nanoparticle (DMSN) group. Fecal samples were collected 3 days and 7 days after the intake of MSNs and analyzed with high throughput sequencing. Gastric tissues in rats were obtained after dissection for the histological study. RESULTS Three different MSNs (MCM-41, SBA-15, and DMSN) were successfully prepared in this study. The pore size of three MSNs was calculated similarly as (3.54 ± 0.15) nm, (3.48 ± 0.21) nm, and (3.45 ± 0.17) nm according to the BET & BJH model, respectively, while the particle size of MCM-41, SBA-15 and DMSN was around 209.2 nm, 1349.56 nm, and 244.4 nm, respectively. In the gene analysis of 16S rRNA, no significant changes in the diversity and richness were found between groups, while Verrucomicrobia decreased and Candidatus Saccharibacteria increased in MCM-41 treated groups. Meanwhile, no inflammatory and erosion symptoms were observed in the morphological analysis of the colons, except the MCM-41 treated group. CONCLUSION Three different MSNs, MCM-41, SBA-15, and DMSN were successfully prepared, and this study firstly suggested the impact of MSNs on the gut microbiota, and further revealing the potential pro-inflammatory effects of oral administration of MCM-41 was possibly through the changing of gut microbiota.

Abstract
Purpose Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a critical situation in which liver failure affects brain function. HE could result in a state of coma and death. The liver is the main organ for ammonium ion (NH4 +) metabolism. Hence, acute and/or chronic liver failure could lead to hyperammonemia. NH4 + is the most suspected neurotoxic agent in HE. Thus, finding new therapeutic options to decrease plasma and brain NH4 + levels has a significant clinical value. Mesoporous silica (MS) particles have revolutionized many aspects of pharmaceutical sciences, including drug delivery systems. Moreover, recently, MS has been applied as agents for the detoxification of chemicals (eg, drugs and poisons). Methods First, MS particles containing amine groups (MS-NH2) were synthesized in co-condensation processes. Then, the structure was modified by succinic anhydride to have MS-SA. The MS-SA was characterized (FT-IR, XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), DLS-Zeta FESEM-EDX, and HRTEM). Then, the potential of MS-NH2 and MS-SA particles in adsorption of NH4 + was investigated in vitro and in vivo. MS-NH2 and MS-SA were incubated with increasing concentrations (0.1-10 mM) of NH4 +, and the scavenging capacity of the investigated particles was evaluated. On the other hand, different doses (1 and 5 mg/kg per day) of nanoparticles were administered to a hyperammonemia animal model. Results It was figured out that both MS-NH2 and MS-SA significantly scavenged NH4 + in the in vitro model. However, the NH4 + scavenging capability of MS-SA was more significant. Administration of MS-NH2 and MS-SA also considerably decreased the level of ammonium in plasma and brain and improved cognitive and locomotor activity in hyperammonemic animals. The effects of MS-SA were more significant than MS-NH2 in the HE animal model. Conclusion Collectively, our data suggest that MS particles, especially succinic acid-functionalized MS, could act as special ancillary treatment in HE as a critical clinical complication.

Abstract
A novel colorimetric sheet based on Griess reagent-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles was developed for nitrite detection. Griess reagent was adsorbed on long-range ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica nanoparticles and developed ink-bottle pores with some disorder. When the modified nanoparticles were bound using starch to fabricate a thin (~ 313 μm) colorimetric sheet, spherical particles with a rougher surface and some distortion of their mesoporosity were observed. The sheet was used in conjunction with digital image colorimetry (DIC) and provides a wide linear range of 0.05 to 2.50 mg L-1 with a low detection limit (15.0 μg L-1-NO2-, equal to 4.5 μg L-1 NO2--N), good inter-day precision (1.93%RSD), and excellent precision (2.67% relative error). The colorimetric sensors produced from the sheet costs only 0.04 USD each, while the DIC uses a standard smartphone for photographic detection. The method developed offers an easier and cheaper means of conducting rapid on-site determination of nitrite in water with reliable quantitative results. Graphical abstract.

[PMID: 32284692 PMCID: PMC7119237 DOI: 10.1177/1559325820902314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2019] [Revised: 12/25/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Achieving drug target accumulation in antitumor tissue, simultaneous diagnostic imaging, and optimal release behavior with treatment needs a best chemotherapy procedure involving receptive switch of drug delivery. Constructed on mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which are crossed with multiscale charming nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-aided and alternate magnetic field (AMF) response chemotherapy for breast cancer, we report in this work the assembly of a new theranostics drug conveyance process. Hydrothermal processes (gadolinium(III) oxide nanoparticles [Gd-NPs]) and heat decomposition process (radical size uFe-NPs) were used to prepare superparamagnetic Gd-NPs with multiscale sizes. Gadolinium(III) oxide nanoparticles act as an AMF-responsive heat mediator, while ultra-Fe nanoparticles (uFe-NPs) act as an MRI T2 contrast mediator. Nanoparticles of the mesoporous silica with radially oriented mesochannels were further grown in situ on the surfaces of the Gd-NPs, and the uFe-NPs anticancer drug doxorubicin can be easily incorporated in the mesochannels. To provide better targeting capabilities for the as-synthesized biotin-loaded nanohybrids, the particle surfaces are updated with biotin (Bt). This optimized drug conveyance method based on nanocomposites of SiO2 demonstrated great efficiency of medication charging and receptive properties of AMF stimulus release. However, tests of MRI in vitro showed an outstanding contrast effect in MRI with a high stimulation quality (299 mM−1 s−1). In contrast, the study of in vitro cytotoxicity assessment revealed that an MRI-directed stimulus-mediated theranostics tool can be used as a drug conveyance device to efficiently treat breast cancer.
