Abstract

Glyconanoparticle carriers have been synthesized and efficiently delivered into mycobacteria. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were functionalized with α,α-trehalose through azide-mediated surface photoligation, and loaded with the antitubercular drug isoniazid. The glyconanoparticles showed high isoniazid loading capacity and higher antimicrobial activity than the free drug.
