Gold Nanoparticles to Improve HIV Drug Delivery

Abstract: Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved lifespan and quality of life of patients infected with the HIV-1. However, ART has several potential limitations, including the development of drug resistance and suboptimal penetration to selected anatomic compartments. Improving the delivery of antiretroviral molecules could overcome several of the limitations of current ART. Results & Conclusion Two to ten nanometer diameter inorganic gold crystals serve as a base scaffold to combine molecules with an a… Show more

“…59 While free RAL demonstrates better HIV suppression, the RAL-AuNPs did exhibit better cellular uptake, BBB penetration, and accumulation in the spleen and brain. 59 The accumulation in viral reservoirs was accompanied by increased off-site accumulation in the liver, kidneys, lungs, and heart. 59 Another proposed delivery system of glyceryl monostearatemodified, nevirapine loaded gold shell NPs displayed similar increased uptake by PBMCs and sustained accumulation in viral reservoirs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, and brain.…”

“…Neither SDC‐1721 or AuNPs exhibited independent suppression of viral replication, but the multivalent SDC‐1721 AuNPs inhibited viral replication with an average IC 50 value of 10 nM, matching the average IC 50 value of maraviroc . The uptake of 2–10 nm AuNPs by macrophages, PBMCs, and human‐brain micro‐vascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) and the accumulation of unmodified AuNPs in the spleen and, to a much lesser extent, the brain, was reported . By conjugating thiolated raltegravir (RAL), an inactive form of RAL, to AuNPs in a 4:1 ratio, the researchers were able to suppress viral replication to 25.23% .…”

“…The drug is usually made from natural polymer material and has been fully applied to treatment course of tumor, diabetes and vascular disease. It can effectively extend action time of drug, then effectively improve clinical effect of the drug and minimize toxic and side effects of the drug [7] . Frequency of use of nano preparation technology can provide better development space for medical use and effectively promote long-term development of nano biotechnology.…”

“…Further, such particles can be fabricated to display conjugates of raltegravir, an HIV integrase inhibitor, and inhibit viral replication. Finally AuNPs cross the BBB and can be found in the brain parenchyma in mice (Garrido et al , 2013)…”
