Abstract
The amoxicillin-UCCs-2/TPP nanoparticles constructed with ureido-modified chitosan derivative UCCs-2 and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) played an important role to deliver drug to achieve more efficacious and specific eradication of Helicobacterpylori (H. pylori) in vitro. In this study, the anti-H. pylori effectiveness in vivo and uptake mechanism was investigated in details, including the effect of temperature, pH values and the addition of competitive substrate urea on uptake. Compared with unmodified nanoparticles, a more efficacious and specific anti-H. pylori activities were obtained in vivo by using this biological chitosan derivative UCCs-2. Histological staining and immunological analysis verified that the amoxicillin-UCCs-2/TPP nanoparticles could diminish the proinflammatory cytokines levels and alleviate the inflammatory damages caused by H. pylori infection. The uredio-modified nanoparticles also have favorable gastric retention property, which is beneficial for the oral drug delivery to targeted eradicate H. pylori infection in stomach. These findings suggest that this targeted drug delivery system may serve for specific treatment of H. pylori infection both in vitro and in vivo, which can also be used as promising nanocarriers for other therapeutic reagents to target H. pylori.
