The chemotherapy for tuberculosis (TB) is complicated by its long-term treatment, its frequent drug dosing, and the adverse effects of anti-TB drugs. In this study, we have developed two nanocomposites (A and B) by intercalating the anti-TB drug isoniazid (INH) into Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides. The average size of the nanocomposites was found to bê164 nm. The efficacy of the Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides intercalated INH against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was increased by approximately three times more than free INH. The nanocomposites were also found to be active against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Compared to the free INH, the nanodelivery formulation was determined to be three times more biocompatible with human normal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells and 3T3 fibroblast cells at a very high concentration of 50 µg/mL for up to 72 hours. The in vitro release of INH from the Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides was found to be sustained in human body-simulated buffer solutions of pH 4.8 and 7.4. This research is a step forward in making the TB chemotherapy patient friendly.
结核病(TB)的化疗因治疗周期长、给药频繁以及抗结核药物的副作用而变得复杂。在本研究中,我们通过将抗结核药物异烟肼(INH)插层到Zn/Al层状双氢氧化物中,制备了两种纳米复合材料(A和B)。发现纳米复合材料的平均尺寸为164纳米。插层有INH的Zn/Al层状双氢氧化物对结核分枝杆菌的疗效比游离INH提高了约三倍。还发现纳米复合材料对革兰氏阳性和阴性细菌均有活性。与游离INH相比,在高达50μg/mL的非常高浓度下处理长达72小时时,纳米递送制剂与人正常肺成纤维细胞MRC-5细胞和3T3成纤维细胞的生物相容性被确定为游离INH的三倍。发现在pH 4.8和7.4的人体模拟缓冲溶液中,INH从Zn/Al层状双氢氧化物中的体外释放是持续的。这项研究朝着使结核病化疗对患者更友好迈出了一步。
