ABSTRACT
The current research relies on a one-pot green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) with various ratios of silver (Ag) in the existence of N, N, N-trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMC) and carboxymethyl kappa-carrageenan (CMKC), to investigate the effectiveness of the synthesized silver nanocomposites (SNCs) as pH sensitive biodegradable carrier for orally intestinal delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) drug. FTIR, XRD, TEM and FE-SEM/EDX methods were utilized to demonstrate the structure of the prepared polyelectrolyte complex PEC (TMC/CMKC) and SNCs (TMC/CMKC/Ag). The results showed that the 5-FU encapsulation effectiveness inside all of the prepared SNCs samples was improved by increasing the concentration of Ag, reaching 92.16 ± 0.57 % with 3 % Ag. In vitro release behavior of 5-FU loaded SNC 3 % (TMC/CMKC/Ag 3 %), displayed slow and sustained release reaching 96.3 ± 0.81 % up to 24 h into pH 7.4 medium. The successful release of 5-FU from the loaded SNC 3 % was confirmed through occurrence of strong cytotoxicity, with an IC50 value of 31.15 µg/ml, and high % of apoptotic cells (30.66 %) within the treated HCT116 cells. Besides, SNC 3 % showed good biodegradability and antimicrobial properties against different bacterial strains. Overall, SNC 3 % can be suggested as an effective system for both controlled drug delivery and antibacterial action.
