We have developed a targeted nano-drug delivery system that effectively harnesses the anti-tumor properties of trifluoperazine (TFP), while concurrently mitigating its side effects on the central nervous system. The manufacturing process entailed the preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH), followed by the loading of trifluoperazine into the pores of MSN-NH and then surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and anisamide (AA), resulting in the formation of TFP@MSN@PEG-AA (abbreviated as TMPA) nanoparticles. and anti-tumor activity and hemolysis experiments showed that TMPA had an excellent safety profile and a good anti-tumor effect. Importantly, the drug content of the TMPA nanoparticle group was found to be significantly lower than that of the TFP group in the mouse brain tissue as determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) detection. Therefore, the developed drug delivery system achieved the goal of maintaining TFP's anti-tumor action while avoiding its negative effects on the central nervous system.

In most studies, the penetration of nanoparticles into tumors was mainly dependent on the enhanced permeability and retention (ERP) effect. However, the penetration of nanoparticles would be limited by tumor-dense structure, immune system, and other factors. To solve these problems, macrophages with active tropism to tumor tissues, loaded nanoparticles with photothermal therapy, and chemotherapy were designed.

Mesoporous silica particles are of great interest in the field of dental composites as functional inorganic fillers due to their unique interconnected pores which can form micromechanical interlocking at the filler-resin interfaces. However, the degradation of mesoporous silica is fast in wet environments, leading to the poor mechanical stability of dental composites. Here, we synthesized Zr-doped mesoporous silica spheres (Zr-MSS) to increase the chemical stability of the particles.

Mesoporous materials have garnered significant interest because of their porous structure, large surface area and ease of surface functionalization to incorporate the functional groups of choice. Herein, chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNPs) were prepared using quaternary amino silane as the template, tetramethyl orthosilicate as the silica source and proline and cellulose as chiral selector. The developed CMSNPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, BET surface area analysis and BJH pore size/volume analysis.
