| Resumo: | Snake-envenoming represents a worldwide public health issue. The search for
new immunoadjuvants and vaccines expands the therapeutics alternatives and
improves antivenoms sera. Nanotechnology is associated to antivenom serum
improvement once venom-loaded nanoparticles modulate the protein release and
activating immune response to produce specific antibodies. Polymeric
nanoparticles are colloidal dispersions with particle size between 1-1000 nm which
have been used as drug delivery systems for bioactive macromolecules. The aim
of this study is obtain and characterize biodegradable cationic nanoparticles to
proteins loading. The sub 200 nm poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)
nanoparticles were produced and functionalized with hyper-branched
polyethylenimine (PEI) using the nanoprecipitation technique. The parameters
assessed by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements and
morphology were monitored to establish a suitable formulation. Small-sized (100–
200 nm) and spherical particles with protein association efficiency of about 100%
were reached. The high protein loading efficiency, electrophoresis and zeta
potential results demonstrated that Bothrops jararaca venom were adsorbed on
particle surface, which remained as a stable colloidal dispersion (over 6 weeks). A
slow release protein profile was observed admitting the release kinetics by
parabolic diffusion. The in vivo studies showed immunoadjuvant ability of the
nanoparticles, similar to that found to aluminum hydroxide. Thus, the cationic
nanoparticles as carrier to bioactive molecules was successfully developed and
demonstrated to promising immunoadjuvant and a novel nanocarrier for protein or
nucleic acids release. |
