Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer with remarkable properties and merits are being preferred in various biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, non-toxicity and cost effectiveness. In this investigation, oxytetracycline-loaded PMMA nanoparticles were prepared using nano-precipitation method for the treatment of anaplasmosis. The prepared nanoparticles were characterised using dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The mean average diameter of the nanoparticles ranged between 190-240 nm and zeta potential was found to be -19 mV. The drug loading capacity and entrapment efficiency of nanoparticles was found varied between 33.7-62.2% and 40.5-60.0%. The drug release profile exhibited a biphasic phenomenon indicating controlled drug release. The uptake of coumarin-6(C-6)-loaded PMMA nanoparticles in (3D7) culture model was studied. The preferential uptake of C-6-loaded nanoparticles by the Plasmodium infected erythrocytes in comparison with the uninfected erythrocytes was observed under fluorescence microscopy. These findings suggest that oxytetracycline-loaded PMMA nanoparticles were found to be an effective oral delivery vehicle and an alternative pharmaceutical formulation in anaplasmosis treatment, too.
