Abstract

antibiotic delivery systems crystal-like mesostructure hybrid materials periodic mesoporous organosilicas polyion complex micelles sol-gel process
Despite the versatility of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs), the bactericide capacity of these hybrid platforms has seldom been explored. Herein, we describe the synthesis of large-pore phenylene-bridged PMOs, mesostructured by polyion complex (PIC) micelles (PICPMOs) incorporating an antibiotic, neomycin B. A key feature of this approach is that the bioactive molecules are directly encapsulated within the PICPMOs during their formation. The engineered PICPMOs exhibit a well-ordered hexagonal mesophase with a molecular-scale crystallinity and large mesopores (8 nm), which facilitates pH-triggered delivery of the drug. The results obtained with a pathogenic Escherichia coli strain clearly demonstrate the potential of such PICPMOs for antibacterial applications.
