We have developed a nano drug delivery system for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) using rifampicin (RF) encapsulated in poly(ester amide)s nanoparticles (PEA-RF-NPs), which are biocompatible polymers. In this study, biodegradable amino acid based poly(ester amide)s (PEAs) were synthesized by the poly condensation reaction and RF-loaded NPs were fabricated by the dialysis method. The surface morphology and in-vitro drug release efficiency were examined. The effect of time and temperature on the cellular uptake of PEA-RF-NPs in NR8383 cells was evaluated. Fluorescence microscopic results of PEA-RF-NPs from NR8383 cell lines suggest its potential application in treating TB. The antibacterial activity of RF against Mycobacterium smegmatis was also evaluated. Based on these results, this approach provides a new means for controlled and efficient release of RF using the PEA-NPs delivery system and is promising for the treatment of TB.
