Different drug loading methods and antibiotic structure modulate the efficacy of polydopamine nanoparticles as drug nanocarriers

The inefficient delivery of antimicrobials to their target is a significant factor contributing to antibiotic resistance. As such, smart nanomaterials that respond to external stimuli are extensively explored for precise drug delivery. Here, we investigate how drug loading methods and the structure of antibiotics impact the effectiveness of photothermally active polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) as a laser-responsive drug delivery system. We examine two loading methods: in-synthesis and post-synthesis, and evaluate how laser irradiation affects drug release. Density functional theory calculations are also performed to gain deeper insights into the drug-PDNP interactions. Our findings point to the critical role of antibiotic structure and drug loading method in the laser-responsive capabilities of PDNPs as drug nanocarriers. Our study offers valuable insights for optimizing the design and efficiency of PDNP-based drug delivery systems.
