Abstract
In order to facilitate the approval and commercialization of silicasome drug delivery systems (e.g. irinotecan silicasomes) it is necessary to scale up synthesis of the drug-loaded silicasomes. In this regard, it was discovered that the synthesis protocols used for laboratory synthesis of drug-loaded silicasomes (e.g., 500 mg/batch) do not scale to large scale silicasome production, because the resulting products were too heterogeneous for use as pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, new methods are provided herein that effectively afford the large-scale production of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) and lipid bilayer coated MSNPs (silicasomes).
