Multifunctional Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Filled Polydopamine Hollow Rods for Antibacterial Biofilm Treatment

This work reports the use of mesoporous silica rods as templates for the step-wise preparation of multifunctional Fe3O4 NPs filled polydopamine hollow rods (Fe3O4@PDA HR). The capacity of as-synthesized Fe3O4@PDA HR as a new drug carrier platform was assessed by its loading and the triggered release of fosfomycin under various stimulations. It was found that the release of fosfomycin was pH dependent with ~89% of fosfomycin being released in pH 5 after 24 h, which was 2-fold higher than that in pH 7. The magnetic properties of Fe3O4 NPs and the photothermal properties of PDA enabled the triggered release of fosfomycin upon the exposure to rotational magnetic field, or NIR laser irradiation. Additionally, the capability of using multifunctional Fe3O4@PDA HR to eliminate preformed bacterial biofilm was demonstrated. Upon exposure to the rotational magnetic field, the biomass of a preformed biofilm was significantly reduced by 65.3% after a 20 min treatment with Fe3O4@PDA HR. Again, due to the excellent photothermal properties of PDA, a dramatic biomass decline (72.5%) was achieved after 10 min of laser exposure. This study offers an alternative approach of using drug carrier platform as a physical mean to kill pathogenic bacteria along with its traditional use for drug delivery.
