The nano-sized DDS have the tendency to easily penetrate the bacteria and cancer cells. All of these advantages would ultimately improve the patients’ compliance to the treatment. In this research, several anti-TB nanodelivery formulations were developed by intercalating anti-TB drugs namely para amino salicylic acid (PAS) and isoniazid (INH) into metal hydroxide nanolayers namely zinc layered (ZLH), zinc-aluminium layered double hydroxides (Zn/Al-LDHs) and magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxides (Mg/Al-LDHs). A total of 8 nanocomposites based on the aforementioned anti-TB drugs and metal nanolayers hydroxides were prepared. The developed nanocomposites of anti-TB drugs with metal hydroxides nanolayers (inorganic nanolayers) showed higher biocompatibility with normal human lung cell lines (the most common residing place of mycobacterium tuberculosis) and with 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells (the most sensitive cells to toxicity). The release of the intercalated anti- TB drugs was sustained in human body simulated phosphate buffer (PBS) solutions of pH 7.4 and 4.8. Therapeutic efficacy of the anti-TB nanocomposites against mycobacteria tuberculosis was found to be much better compared to para amino salicylic acid and isoniazid in their free form.
