Construction of pH-responsive and up-conversion luminescent NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+@SiO2@PMAA nanocomposite for colon targeted drug delivery

Abstract: Colon-targeted drug delivery system has attracted much interest because it can improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce the side effect in practical clinic. Herein, we constructed a multifunctional drug delivery system with colonic targeting and tracking by up-conversion (UC) luminescence based on core-shell structured NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+@SiO2@PMAA nanocomposite. The resultant materials exhibited bright UC luminescence, pH-responsive property and excellent biocompatibility. The drug release behaviors in different p… Show more

“…According to this, oral dosage forms that deliver the drug to the colon rather than the upper GIT are very beneficial in the treatment of colon diseases by delivering the drug to the site of action (Jackson et al, 2015). This ensures high local concentration while minimizing the side effects arising from the release of the drug in the upper GIT or unnecessary systemic absorption (Crcarevska et al, 2008;Tian et al, 2016).…”

“…Only limited amounts of loaded DOX were released at pH 7, regardless of temperature; however, under acidic conditions, significant amounts of DOX could be released during the same period of time. 33 Approximately 50% of the loaded drugs were released at pH 5 and 25 °C, whereas more than 80% were released at pH 5 and 40 °C. The best release result was obtained under conditions of acidic pH and elevated temperature, which is the typical environment for cancer cells.…”

“…If not, then the drug will be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) causing a decrease in the efficacy of the drug. Additionally, the sustained and controlled delivery of hydrophobic drugs is preferred as it reduces the need for frequent drug administration, besides decreasing several side effects [ 39 , 40 ].…”
