description | Although hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) have been intensively studied as nanocarriers, selecting the right HMSNs for specific drugs still remains challenging due to the enormous diversity in so far reported HMSNs and drugs. To this end, we herein made a comprehensive study on drug loading in HMSNs from the viewpoint of impacting factors and loading efficiency. Specifically, two types of HMSNs with negative and positive zeta potential were delicately constructed, and three categories of drugs were selected as delivery targets: highly hydrophobic and lipophobic (oily), hydrophobic, and hydrophilic. The results indicated that (i) oily drugs could be efficiently loaded into both of the two HMSNs, (ii) HMSNs were not good carriers for hydrophobic drugs, especially for planar drugs, (iii) HMSNs had high loading efficiency towards oppositely charged hydrophilic drugs, i.e., negatively charged HMSNs for cationic molecules and vice versa, (iv) entrapped drugs would alter zeta potential of drug-loaded HMSNs. This work may provide general guidelines about designing high-payload HMSNs by reference to the physicochemical property of drugs. |
