Binary Medical Nanofluids by Combination of Polymeric Eudragit Nanoparticles for Vehiculization of Tobramycin and Resveratrol: Antimicrobial, Hemotoxicity and Protein Corona Studies

The development of smart nanoparticles (NPs) became a trend to enhance the delivery of drugs. In the present work, Tobramycin (TB), an aminoglycoside antibiotic that displays several undesirable side effects, has been encapsulated into cationic Eudragit®E100 (E100) NPs for the treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Combination with neutral Eudragit®NE30D (NE30D) NPs containing resveratrol (RSV), a strong natural antioxidant, increased the antimicrobial activity of TB (75% higher than free TB). NPs were stabilized with 1.0% (w/v) poloxamer 188 (P188) or poloxamer 407 (P407) as surfactants. E100 NPs showed 83.3 ± 8.5%, and 70.1 ± 2.7 encapsulation efficiency (EE) of TB with P188 and P407 coatings, respectively. The presence of NPs was confirmed by DLS and TEM studies. TB was controlled released from NPs for 6 h. Hemotoxicity tests of NPs in the range of MIC values on human blood gave negative results. Analysis of Surface Plasmon Resonance verified that NE30D/P407/RSV does not interact with plasma proteins BSA, IgG or fibrinogen, besides E100/P188/TB interact with BSA, findings that are compatible with a negligible in vivo clearance of the nanovehicles. The obtained results show a potential binary fluid composed of two NPs to highly improve the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics.
