“…The AR-12/MPs used in this study showed an encapsulation efficiency similar to that in our previous work (29) and were shown to be 265 nm in diameter (Fig. 1), which is an ideal size for uptake via macrophages but not by nonphagocytic cells (36)(37)(38). Particle formulation through sonication generates a polydispersed particle population; however, Champion et al noted that the main determinant for uptake by macrophages is shape, and thus, polydispersed particle populations of the same shape that lie within the optimal uptake range for macrophages should be taken up at similar rates (38).…”

“…Macrophage cells are able to ingest large particles having a diameter between 1 m and 10 m to eliminate invaders from outside the body [13,14]. The optimal sizes of the particles for the uptake by alveolar macrophages range between 3 m and 6 m [15], but those by peritoneal macrophages and peripheral blood mononuclear cells are reportedly from 0.3 m to 1.1 m [16][17][18]. The uptake mechanism of the particles, such as 3-m particles, was interpreted by the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory [19].…”

“…Achieving an effective concentration of drug by oral administration and a complete cure is complicated by the difficulty of delivering drugs to the sites deep within the lungs where Mycobacterium tuberculosis resides. Several studies have attempted to improve the delivery of drugs into the lungs [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Such targeted delivery of drugs is expected to improve the treatment of TB, decrease the necessary doses, and reduce systemic sideeffects.…”
