    Targeted Multidrug Delivery Systems To Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
    (Editions de Sante, 2023) Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Ucak, Samet; Dursun, Ali D.; Sudağıdan, Mert; İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Henning, Laura M.; Simon, Ulla; Gurlo, Aleksander
    Different ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) nanoparticles, ranging from regular COK-12 to COK-12 modified in terms of pore shape and size, have been employed as standard drug carriers for the controlled adsorption and release of drug molecules in comparison to well-known OMS SBA-15 and MCM-41. The cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated that regular COK-12 particles were less harmful to mammalian cultured cells, causing lower apoptosis induction than modified COK-12, MCM-41, and SBA-15 particles. Thus, regular COK-12 was further used to prepare a dual antibiotic-loaded drug delivery material, followed by surface functionalization with Staphylococcus aureus-specific aptamers for targeting. The results demonstrated that the joint loading of lysozyme and vancomycin in regular COK-12 improved the ability of the antibiotic treatments to kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus strains via aptamer targeting. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values decreased 4.1-fold and 12-fold compared to the non-targeted use of the antimicrobial agents in homogeneous solutions for vancomycin and lysozyme, respectively, clearly demonstrating the high potential of COK-12 to be used as a carrier in multidrug therapy. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Corrigendum To “hierarchically Porous Polymer Derived Ceramics: a Promising Platform for Multidrug Delivery Systems”[mater. Des. 140(supplement C) (2018) 37–44]

    The authors regret to inform that The TMTVS ratios for samples were written incorrectly. The true weight ratios for PHMS/LDH/PDMS/TMTVS blends should be as follows: Bio1 = 1/0.055/0.25/0.055, and Bio2 = 1/0.055/1/0.055. The discussion in the study is not affected by this mistype and actually the previous paper [1] cited also in the paper as ref.#44 gives right values for the sample preparation. The authors would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused.

    Hierarchically Porous Polymer Derived Ceramics: a Promising Platform for Multidrug Delivery Systems
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Vakıfahmetoğlu, Çekdar; Zeydanlı, Damla; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Borsa, Barış Ata; Soraru, Gian Domenico
    Mesoporous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) components were formed with the use of “molecular spacer” (a sacrificial vinyl-terminated linear siloxane which while decomposing during pyrolysis generates pores with size proportional to the molecular weight), followed by a post-pyrolysis etching treatment by hydrofluoric acid (HF) to obtain C-rich SiOC samples having additional micro-/mesoporosity and specific surface area reaching to 774 m2/g. The biocompatibility of the samples was validated by hemolysis test, and their cargo/drug loading capacities were studied by two different sized polypeptides as model molecules. SiOC particles showed less hemolysis compared to the reference material MCM-41. Similarly, the loading capacity and the release kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and vancomycin-loaded SiOC particles were improved compared to that of MCM-41. In the multi cargo loading/release capacity tests, done by using different sized molecules, Bio2-HF and MCM-41 were loaded both with fluorescein and BSA. While a lagging time in fluorescein release was observed for MCM-41, the release kinetics of fluorescein and BSA was not affected when they are loaded together in the hierarchical pores of Bio2-HF, allowing the release of both large and small cargo molecules. The antimicrobial activity tests showed that Bio2-HF performed better than MCM-41 particles in improving bactericidal activity.
