Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI) may cause irreversible damage or destroy to part of the heart muscle, affecting the heart's ability and power to pump blood as efficiently as before, often resulting in heart failure (HF). Cardiomyocyte death and scar formation after MI may then trigger chronic neurohormonal activation and ventricular remodeling. We developed a biocompatible and mono-dispersed mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) divergent porous channel for dapagliflozin (DAPA) loading. After surface modification of the cardiac-targeting peptides, the novel drug delivery system was successfully homed, and precisely released drugs for the hypoxic and weak acid damaged cardiomyocytes. Our biocompatible MSN- based nanocarriers for dapagliflozin delivery system could effective cardiac repair and regeneration in vivo, opening new opportunities for healing patients with ischemic heart disease in clinical.
