Combined usage of Layer-by-Layer (LbL) coating and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) - responsive charge reversal strategies can improve the cellular internalisation of the colloidal drug delivery systems by also decreasing their cytotoxic effects. Anionic core NLCs were formed by combining the melt emulsification method and ultrasonication. The resulting core NLCs were coated sequentially first with protamine (Prot NLCs) and then with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) or sodium polyphosphate (Graham's salt, PP) generating TPP or PP NLCs, respectively. The developed NLCs were characterised regarding their size and zeta potential. Enzyme-induced charge reversal of the TPP and PP NLCs was evaluated by zeta potential measurements upon their incubation with alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In parallel, time-dependent phosphate release was monitored in the presence of isolated as well as cell-associated ALP. Morphological evaluations were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. Moreover, cell viability and cellular uptake studies were carried out in vitro on Caco-2 cells. The core NLCs were obtained with a mean size of 272.27 ± 5.23 nm and a zeta potential of −25.70 ± 0.26 mV. Upon coating with protamine, the zeta potential raised to positive values with a total change up to Δ29.3 mV also displaying an increase in particle size. The second layer coating with TPP and PP provided a negative surface charge. Subsequent to ALP treatment, the zeta potential of the TPP and PP NLCs reversed from negative to positive values with total changes of Δ8.56 and Δ7.47 mV, respectively. Conformably, significant amounts of phosphate were released from both formulations. Compared with core NLCs, improved cellular viability as well as increased cellular uptake were observed in case of Prot, TPP and PP NLCs.
