Abstract
The field of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) continues to mature, and an increasing range of reports have emerged that explore the application of these small nanoparticles. A key application for SCNPs is in the field of drug delivery, and recent work suggests that SCNPs can be readily internalized by cells. However, limited attention has been directed to the delivery of small-molecule drugs using SCNPs. Moreover, studies on the physicochemical effects of drug loading on SCNP performance is so far missing, despite the accepted view that such small nanoparticles should be significantly affected by the drug loading content. To address this gap, we prepared a library of SCNPs bearing different amounts of a covalently conjugated therapeutic drug-sulfasalazine (SSZ). We evaluated the impact of the conjugated drug loading on both the synthesis and biological activity of SCNPs on pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1). Our results reveal that covalent drug conjugation to the side chains of the SCNP polymer precursor interferes with chain collapse and cross-linking, which demands optimization of reaction conditions to reach high degrees of cross-linking efficiencies. Small-angle neutron scattering and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance (DOSY NMR) analyses reveal that SCNPs with a higher drug loading display larger sizes and looser structures, as well as increased hydrophobicity associated with a higher SSZ content. Increased SSZ loading led to reduced cellular uptake when assessed in vitro, whereby SCNP aggregation on the surface of AsPC-1 cells led to reduced toxicity. This work highlights the effects of drug loading on the drug delivery efficiency and biological behavior of SCNPs.

In silico investigation on sensing of tyramine by boron and silicon doped C 60 fullerenes. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22264. [PMID: 38097755 PMCID: PMC10721924 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49414-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The present communication deals with the adsorption of tyramine neurotransmitter over the surface of pristine, Boron (B) and Silicon (Si) doped fullerenes. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate tyramine adsorption on the surface of fullerenes in terms of stability, shape, work function, electronic characteristics, and density of state spectra. The most favourable adsorption configurations for tyramine have been computed to have adsorption energies of - 1.486, - 30.889, and - 31.166 kcal/mol, respectively whereas for the rest three configurations, it has been computed to be - 0.991, - 6.999, and - 8.796 kcal/mol, respectively. The band gaps for all six configurations are computed to be 2.68, 2.67, 2.06, 2.17, 2.07, and 2.14 eV, respectively. The band gap of pristine, B and Si doped fullerenes shows changes in their band gaps after adsorption of tyramine neurotransmitters. However, the change in band gaps reveals more in B doped fullerene rather than pristine and Si doped fullerenes. The change in band gaps of B and Si doped fullerenes leads a change in the electrical conductivity which helps to detect tyramine. Furthermore, natural bond orbital (NBO) computations demonstrated a net charge transfer of 0.006, 0.394, and 0.257e from tynamine to pristine, B and Si doped fullerenes.

Polyaniline-modified halloysite nanotubes as high-efficiency adsorbents for removing of naproxen in the presence of different heavy metals. RSC Adv 2023; 13:23505-23513. [PMID: 37546225 PMCID: PMC10402452 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra03671e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, novel adsorbent polyaniline-modified halloysite nanotubes (HNT@PA-2) were synthesized successfully by in situ polymerization to increase active adsorption sites. With the increase of the amount of aniline, the adsorption capacity of naproxen becomes higher. The optimal ratio of halloysite nanotubes to aniline was 1 : 2. The effects of adsorption conditions such as pH, mass of HNT@PA-2, time and initial concentration of naproxen were systematically researched. The optimum adsorption for naproxen was pH 9, mass 10 mg and contact time 4 h. The adsorption of naproxen conformed to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 242.58 mg g-1 at 318 K. In addition, the effects of ionic strength and different heavy metals also were studied. Higher ionic strength of the system could influence the adsorption of naproxen. The effects of Al3+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ ions on the adsorption of naproxen could be ignored, while Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions inhibited the process. The mechanisms for naproxen adsorbed by the HNT@PA-2 were π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic reaction. Therefore, the HNT@PA-2 could be used for the treatment of medical wastewater for removing naproxen.

Abstract
Vulgarin, an eudesmanolide sesquiterpene isolated from Artemisia judaica, was refluxed with iodine to produce two derivatives (1 and 2), which were purified and spectroscopically identified as naproxen methyl ester analogs. The reaction mechanism by which 1 and 2 were formed is explained using a sigmatropic reaction with a 1,3 shift. The scaffold hopping via lactone ring opening enabled the new derivatives of vulgarin (1 and 2) to fit well inside the COX-2 active site with ΔG of -7.73 and -7.58 kcal/mol, respectively, which was better than that of naproxen (ΔG of -7.04 kcal/mol). Moreover, molecular dynamic simulations showed that 1 was able to achieve a faster steady-state equilibrium than naproxen. The novel derivative 1 showed promising cytotoxic activities against HepG-2, HCT-116, MCF-7, and A-549 cancer cell lines compared to those of vulgarin and naproxen.

Abstract
The current study on the antioxidant activity of Kojic acid and 3-hydroxypyridine-4-one derivatives was performed by implementation of density functional theory calculations with the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311++ G** basis set in Polarizable Continuum Model. Compounds under evaluation were previously synthesized by our research group. The DPPH scavenging effect and IC 50 values of them in mM concentrations were evaluated. Subsequently, various electronic and energetic descriptors such as HOMO and LUMO energy gaps, bonding dissociation enthalpy of OH bond, ionization potential, electron affinity, hardness, and softness, NBOs and spin density of radical and neutral species were used to study antioxidant properties of investigated compounds. The computations detected two compounds, HP3 and HP4 , with significant antioxidant activity. Energetic descriptors indicated that SPLET mechanism is preferred over than other antioxidant mechanism and computational results were in accordance with the experimental results.
