Confinement and controlled release of bisphosphonates on ordered mesoporous silica-based materials

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Jun 28;128(25):8116-7. doi: 10.1021/ja062286z.

Abstract

Bisphosphonates have been confined in siliceous ordered mesoporous materials, and the drug release rate of these systems has been investigated. The bisphosphonate adsorption rate has been increased from 1% in oral administration to around 40% locally delivered. Drug dosage can be modulated through amine modification of the material surface, leading to a bisphosphonate adsorption in the ordered mesoporous matrices 3 times larger than that for unmodified materials. The use of these drug delivery systems opens new fields with new possibilities for tissue engineering.
