dc.description.abstractTuning the elastic properties of nanoparticles intended to be used in drug delivery is of great interest. To this end, different poten-tial formulations are developed since the particle elasticity is affecting the in vitro and in vivo performance of the nanoparticles. Here we present a method to determine the elasticity of single gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs). Furthermore, we introduce the possi-bility of tuning the elastic properties of gelatin nanoparticles during their preparation through crosslinking time. Young's moduli from 5.48 to 14.26 MPa have been obtained. Additionally, the possibility to measure the elasticity of single nanoparticles revealed the influence of loading a macromolecular model drug (FITC-dextran) on the mechanical properties, which decreased with raising amounts of loaded drug. Loaded particles were significantly softer, with Young's moduli between 1.06 and 5.79 MPa for the same crosslinking time, than the blank GNPs. In contrast to this, lysozyme as a crosslinkable macromolecule did not influence the me-chanical properties. A good in vitro cell compatibility was found investigating blank GNPs and FITC-dextran-loaded GNPs in viability assays with the cancer cell line A549 and the human primary cell-derived hAELVi cell line.
