Objective: To prepare andrographolide-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified by chitosan(CS/Ap-MSN) and investigate its quality and pH-responsive release behavior. Method: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified by amino(NH2-MSN) were synthesized by modified stober method in one step.Chitosan was covalently attached to exterior surface of NH2-MSN
morphology and structure of this product were characterized.In viro drug release behavior of CS/Ap-MSN in different pH was investigated. Result: Mean particle size of CS/Ap-MSN was(178.0±3.2) nm
PDI was 0.378±0.117 and Zeta potential was(34.04±0.22) mV
drug loading efficiency and encapsulation efficiency were(27.8±1.7)% and(63.6±3.2)%
respectively;modification amount of chitosan was 6.3%.Cumulative release amount of CS/Ap-MSN reached to 53.3% at pH of 5.0 after 8 days;while cumulative release amount of CS/Ap-MSN reached to 23.4% at pH of 7.4 after 8 days. Conclusion: In vitro release behavior of CS/Ap-MSN shows pH-responsive characteristic and sustained-release characteristic
cumulative release amount increases with decreasing of pH.
