Abstract
Melphalan (Mel) is a potent alkylating agent utilized in chemotherapy treatments for a diverse range of malignancies. The need for its accurate and timely detection in pharmaceutical preparations and biological samples is paramount to ensure optimized therapeutic efficacy and to monitor treatment progression. To address this critical need, our study introduced a cutting-edge electrochemical sensor. This device boasts a uniquely modified electrode crafted from graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), decorated with activated nanodiamonds (ND-COOH) and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), and specifically designed to detect Mel with unparalleled precision. Our rigorous testing employed advanced techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The outcomes were promising; the sensor consistently exhibited a linear response in the range of 0.5 to 12.5 μM. Even more impressively, the detection threshold was as low as 0.03 μM, highlighting its sensitivity. To further enhance our understanding of Mel's biological interactions, we turned to molecular docking studies. These studies primarily focused on Mel's interaction dynamics with the cellular tumor antigen P53, revealing a binding affinity of -5.0 kcal/mol. A fascinating observation was made when Mel was covalently conjugated with nanodiamond-COOH (ND-COOH). This conjugation resulted in a binding affinity that surged to -10.9 kcal/mol, clearly underscoring our sensor's superior detection capabilities. This observation also reinforced the wisdom behind incorporating ND-COOH in our electrode design. In conclusion, our sensor not only stands out in terms of sensitivity but also excels in selectivity and accuracy. By bridging electrochemical sensing with computational insights, our study illuminates Mel's intricate behavior, driving advancements in sensor technology and potentially revolutionizing cancer therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Membrane fouling remains a challenge to the membrane technology. Herein, we report the fabrication of composite membranes of polyaniline/polyvinylidene fluoride (PANI/PVDF) blended with nanodiamond (ND) with improved antifouling properties. The designed membranes were characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM techniques. Characterization analysis revealed that addition of ND has maintained the structural integrity and porosity of composite membranes. The membrane permeation and antifouling performances were tested for hydrophilicity, porosity, pure water flux, shrinkage ratio, salt rejection of zinc acetate and copper acetate, and their fouling recovery ratio (FRR) measurements. A high solvent content ratio of 0.55 and a low shrinkage ratio of <12% due to enhanced hydrophilicity and porosity of the composite membrane with fouling-recovery of membranes to 88% were achieved. Separation of copper and zinc ions from aqueous solution was achieved. These findings imply that ND-based PANI/PVDF composite membranes can effectively serve as microfiltration membranes in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Aqueous suspensions (colloids) containing detonation nano-diamond (DND) feature in most applications of DND and are an indispensable stage of its production; therefore, the interaction of DND with water is actively studied. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the unique physico-chemical and biological properties of transparent colloids with low DND content (≤0.1%), which are the subject of this review. Thus, such colloids possess giant dielectric permittivity which shows peculiar temperature dependence, as well as quasi-periodic fluctuations during slow evaporation or dilution. In these colloids, DND interacts with water and air to form cottonwool-like fibers comprising living micro-organisms (fungi and bacteria) and DND particles, with elevated nitrogen content due to fixation of atmospheric N2. Prolonged contact between these solutions and air lead to the formation of ammonium nitrate, sometimes forming macroscopic crystals. The latter was also formed during prolonged oxidation of fungi in aqueous DND colloids. The possible mechanism of N2 fixation is discussed, which can be attributable to the high reactivity of DND.

Potential Therapeutic Targets of Quercetin in the Cutaneous Melanoma Model and Its Cellular Regulation Pathways: A Systematic Review. Nutr Cancer 2023; 75:1687-1709.

Abstract
Melanoma is a skin cancer with a high mortality rate due to its invasive characteristics. Currently, immunotherapy and targeted therapy increase patient survival but are ineffective in the advanced stages of the tumor. Quercetin (Que) is a natural compound that has demonstrated chemopreventive effects against different types of tumors. This review provides evidence for the therapeutic potential of Que in melanoma and identifies its main targets. The Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were searched, and studies that used free or encapsulated Que in melanoma models were included, excluding associations, analogs, and extracts. As a result, 73 articles were retrieved and their data extracted. Que has multiple cellular targets in melanoma models, and the main regulated pathways are cell death, redox metabolism, metastasis, and melanization. Que was also able to regulate important targets of signaling pathways, such as PKC, RIG-I, STAT, and P53. In murine models, treatment with Que reduced tumor growth and weight, and decreased metastatic nodules and angiogenic vasculature. Several studies have incorporated Que into carriers, demonstrating improved efficacy and delivery to tumors. Thus, Que is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of melanoma; however, further studies are needed to evaluate its effectiveness in clinical trials.

Abstract
According to the classical nucleation theory, the presence of solid particles in a liquid should facilitate its heterogeneous nucleation upon supercooling. Here, we have analysed the behaviour of aqueous dispersions of detonation diamond nanoparticles (DND) with different signs of the surface charge in supercooled conditions and the frozen state. The behaviours of the diamond nanoparticles with a typical size of 4.5 nm were compared with each other and with deionized water in ice nucleation and ice shear experiments. The presented experimental data and analysis allowed the description of the significant increase in the freezing delay times for positively charged nanoparticles and the sharp decrease for negatively charged ones in comparison to deionized water, based on the peculiarities of the water structure around the nanoparticles and in the vicinity of a superhydrophobic surface. In addition, this approach has allowed the successful explanation of the difference in the practical work of adhesion for deionized water and dispersions of DND with different particle charges.

Abstract
In this work, the results of a complex investigation of structure and properties of nanodiamond soot (NDS) of detonation synthesis are presented. Size distribution of NDS particles, dispersed in different liquid media, was investigated using dynamic light scattering and laser diffraction analysis methods. The results of the investigation, as well as the results of zeta-potential measurements, allowed us to characterize the agglomeration process of the NDS particles as independent of the medium, making NDS a good model filler for research of composite-modified nanosized particles. Additional data obtained using scanning electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy, demonstrated that in NDS the spherical nanodiamond (ND) particles with diameter ~5 nm are densely packed into strong-coupled aggregates with diameter ~300 nm, surrounded by graphite nanoribbons. X-ray diffraction analysis estimated the volume fraction of NDs in NDS as ~45 vol.%, simultaneously showing that the graphite is not defective, which was confirmed with the electron diffraction method. It was demonstrated that this structure of NDS allows to efficiently use NDS as a filler for polymer composites to increase polymer characteristics such as electrical conductivity or tribological characteristics, similarly to conventionally applied fillers such as carbon black.

Abstract
The aim of the present review article is to summarize the role of nanodiamonds in various neurological diseases. We have taken related literature of making this review article from ScienceDirect, springer, Research gate, PubMed, Sci-finder, etc. The current approaches for treating neurological conditions such as glioblastoma includes chemotherapy or combination anti-retro viral therapy for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or use of anti-Alzheimer drugs during cognitive impairment. These approaches can provide only symptomatic relief as they do not target the cause of the disease due to their inability to penetrate the blood brain barrier. On long-term use, they may cause CNS toxicity due to accumulation in the brain. So nanodiamonds could prove as a promising approach in the brain targeting of the bioactive and to treat many neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, brain tumor (glioblastoma), HIV, amyotrophic multiple sclerosis, Huntington disease, stroke (cerebrovascular attack), batten disease, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and bacterial infections (encephalitis, sepsis, and meningitis) due to their ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and owing to their excellent surface properties, i.e., nano size and high surface area, ease of functionalization, multiple drug binding, and biocompatibility; they can be useful for brain targeted drug delivery with minimal side effects.

Abstract
Antimicrobial therapy, especially inactivation of multi-antibiotic-resistant strains, requires creating new approaches for drug action and targeted delivery in different environmental conditions. In this work, detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) were used to deliver polycationic zinc phthalocyanines to E. coli cells. It is shown that in aqueous solutions, zinc phthalocyanines with cholinyl peripheral substituents form complexes with negatively charged DND based on electrostatic interactions. About 40-70 phthalocyanine molecules can bind to a single DND particle, depending on the number of charged groups of the dye molecule. During the complex formation, quenching of phthalocyanine fluorescence and a decrease in its ability to generate reactive oxygen species were observed. In the presence of bacterial cells, phthalocyanine left the complex and induced a photodynamic effect, the magnitude of which depended on the phthalocyanine charge, the molarity of the buffer solution, and the stoichiometry of the phthalocyanine-DND complex. It was found that at physiological values of the ionic strength of the solution, the photodynamic effect of phthalocyanine with a charge of 8+ in combination with a DND is higher than that of the initial phthalocyanine. Thus, nanodiamonds are a promising platform for the delivery of photosensitizers in antimicrobial therapy.

Abstract
The methodology and results of thermal conductivity measurements by the heat-flow technique for the detonation nanodiamond suspension gels, sols, and powders of several brands in the range of nanoparticle concentrations of 2-100% w/w are discussed. The conditions of assessing the thermal conductivity of the fluids and gels (a FOX 50 heat-flow meter) with the reproducibility (relative standard deviation) of 1% are proposed. The maximum increase of 13% was recorded for the nanodiamond gels (140 mg mL-1 or 4% v/v) of the RDDM brand, at 0.687 ± 0.005 W m-1 K-1. The thermal conductivity of the nanodiamond powders is estimated as 0.26 ± 0.03 and 0.35 ± 0.04 W m-1 K-1 for the RUDDM and RDDM brands, respectively. The thermal conductivity for the aqueous pastes containing 26% v/v RUDDM is 0.85 ± 0.04 W m-1 K-1. The dignities, shortcomings, and limitations of this approach are discussed and compared with the determining of the thermal conductivity with photothermal-lens spectrometry.

Abstract
We develop an electrochemical sensor by using 2D-transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), specifically MoS2, and nanoparticles stabilized with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) incorporated together with them. Two different nanoparticles are assayed: diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNp). 0D materials, together with TMD, provide increased conductivity and active surface while the macrocycle CB[8] affords selectivity towards the guest methyl viologen (MV2+), also named paraquat. Glassy Carbon (GC) electrodes are modified by drop-casting of suspensions of MoS2, followed by either a CB[8]-DNPs hybrid dispersion or a CB[8]-AuNp suspension. Atomic force microscopy is employed for the morphological characterization of the electrochemical sensor surface while cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques allow the electrochemical characterization of the sensor. The well-stablished signals of CB[8]-encapsulated MV2+ arise in voltammetric measurements when the macrocycle modifies the 0D-materials. Once the sensor construction and differential pulse voltammetry parameters have been optimized for quantification purposes, calibration procedures are performed with the platform GC/MoS2/CB[8]-DNPs. This sensing platform shows linear relations between peak intensity and the MV2+ concentration in the linear concentration range of (0.73-8.0) · 10-6 M with a limit of detection of 2.2 · 10-7 M. Analyses of river water samples fortified with MV2+ at the μM level shows recoveries of 100% with RSD values of 6.4% (n = 3).

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11102671. [PMID: 34685112 PMCID: PMC8537936 DOI: 10.3390/nano11102671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The present study aims to compare the early stages of graphitization of the same DND source for two annealing atmospheres (primary vacuum, argon at atmospheric pressure) in an identical set-up. DND samples are finely characterized by a combination of complementary techniques (FTIR, Raman, XPS, HR-TEM) to highlight the induced modifications for temperature up to 1100 °C. The annealing atmosphere has a significant impact on the graphitization kinetics with a higher fraction of sp2-C formed under vacuum compared to argon for the same temperature. Whatever the annealing atmosphere, carbon hydrogen bonds are created at the DND surface during annealing according to FTIR. A “nano effect”, specific to the <10 nm size of DND, exalts the extreme surface chemistry in XPS analysis. According to HR-TEM images, the graphitization is limited to the first outer shell even for DND annealed at 1100 °C under vacuum.

Abstract
After detonation synthesis, primary nanodiamond particles are around 4–6 nm in size. However, they join into agglomerates with larger parameters and weak bonds between particles. The introduction of agglomerates into a metal matrix can lead to the weakness of composites. This paper demonstrates the possibility of obtaining a non-agglomerated distribution of nanodiamonds inside a metal matrix. The fabrication method was based on mechanical alloying to create additional stresses and deformations by phase transformations during treatment in a planetary mill. According to the findings, the starting temperature of the reaction between the non-agglomerated nanodiamonds and aluminium matrix reduces to 450 °C. Furthermore, the paper shows that existing methods (annealing for the transformation of a diamond structure into graphitic material and cleaning from this graphitic material) cannot reduce the sizes of nanodiamonds in the agglomerated state. Agglomerated nanodiamonds transform into carbon onions (graphitic material) during annealing in a vacuum in the following way: the nanodiamonds located in the surface layers of the agglomerate are the first to undergo the complete transformation followed by the transformation of nanoparticles in its deeper layers. In the intermediate state, the agglomerate has a graphitic surface layer and a core from nanodiamonds: cleaning from graphite cannot reduce nanodiamond particle size.

Abstract
Nanostructured forms of diamond have been recently considered for use in a variety of medical devices due to their unusual biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, and electrical properties. This review considers several routes for the synthesis of nanostructured diamond, including chemical vapor deposition, hot filament chemical vapor deposition, microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and detonation synthesis. The properties of nanostructured diamond relevant to medical applications are described, including biocompatibility, surface modification, and cell attachment properties. The use of nanostructured diamond for bone cell interactions, stem cell interactions, imaging applications, gene therapy applications, and drug delivery applications is described. The results from recent studies indicate that medical devices containing nanostructured diamond can provide improved functionality over existing materials for the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.

Abstract
The family of carbon nanostructures comprises several members, such as fullerenes, nano-onions, nanodots, nanodiamonds, nanohorns, nanotubes, and graphene-based materials. Their unique electronic properties have attracted great interest for their highly innovative potential in nanomedicine. However, their hydrophobic nature often requires organic solvents for their dispersibility and processing. In this review, we describe the green approaches that have been developed to produce and functionalize carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications, with a special focus on the very latest reports.

Abstract
Polymer-nanodiamond composites are excellent candidates for the fabrication of multifunctional hybrid materials. They integrate polymer flexibility and exceptional properties of nanodiamonds (NDs), such as biocompatibility, mechanical strength, color centers, and chemically-tailored surfaces. However, their development is hindered by the challenge of ensuring that NDs are homogeneously distributed in the composites. Here, we exploit colloidal coassembly between poly(isoprene-b-styrene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) (ISV) block copolymers (BCPs) and NDs to avoid ND self-agglomeration and direct ND spatial distribution. NDs were first air oxidized at 450 °C to obtain stable dispersions in dimethylacetamide (DMAc). By adding ISV into the dispersions, patchy hybrid micelles were formed due to H-bonds between NDs and ISV. The ISV-ND coassembly in DMAc was then used to fabricate nanocomposite films with a uniform sub-50 nm ND distribution, which has never been previously reported for an ND loading (φND) of more than 50 wt%. The films exhibit good transparency due to their well-defined nanostructures and smoothness and also exhibit an improved UV-absorption and hydrophilicity compared to neat ISV. More intriguingly, at a φND of 22 wt%, ISV and NDs coassemble into a network-like superstructure with well-aligned ND strings via a dialysis method. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements suggest a complex interplay between polymer-polymer, polymer-solvent, polymer-ND, ND-solvent, and ND-ND interactions during the formation of structures. Our work may provide an important foundation for the development of hierarchically ordered nanocomposites based on BCP-ND coassembly, which is beneficial for a wide spectrum of applications from biotechnology to quantum devices.

Abstract
Structural organization of hydrogen and oxygen functionalized nanodiamond (ND) particles in hydrosols was investigated using a cryo-TEM method. The formation of chain-like structures was observed for hydrogen functionalized NDs while oxygen functionalized NDs tend to form more compact structures. In order to understand possible interaction mechanisms between NDs in hydrosols and to explain these experimental results, first-principles calculations were performed. Charged H-terminated ND particles and particles with partially dissociated hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface were investigated as models of a real ND particle in solution. For positively charged H-terminated particles, it was established that charge distribution is determined by the values of valence band maximum for the particle facets. For negatively charged oxygen functionalized particles, the charge is localized near functional groups. In both cases, interaction is determined by the interplay between Coulomb interaction and van der Waals attraction. For detailed analysis of the ND interaction, the continual model considering this interplay was developed. The results obtained with this model indicate that the formation of chain structures from linked ND particles is caused by charge separation inside the ND particle. For the H-terminated ND particles in water solution, strongly anisotropic distribution of electrostatic potential around the particles promotes formation of non-compact chain structures of particles via interaction between facets with opposite charges. This effect of charge separation is lower in the oxygen functionalized particles as the charge is localized at the uniformly distributed O-containing functional groups, thus, more compact structures can be formed. These general qualitative statements address the problem of interactions between the large number of ND particles and explain the presented cryo-TEM experimental results.

Abstract
Laser-induced graphitization of 100 nm monocrystals of diamond particles synthesized by high-pressure high-temperature (HP-HT) methods is not typically observed. The current study demonstrates the graphitization of 150 nm HP-HT nanodiamond particles in ca. 20-μm-thick thin films formed on a glass substrate when the intensity of a focused 633 nm He-Ne laser exceeds a threshold of ~ 33 kW/cm2. Graphitization is accompanied by green luminescence. The structure and morphology of the samples were investigated before and after laser excitation while using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These observations are explained by photoionization of [Ni-N]- and [N]-centers, leading to the excitation of electrons to the conduction band of the HP-HT nanodiamond films and an increase of the local temperature of the sample, causing the transformation of sp3 HP-HT nanodiamonds to sp2-carbon.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (NDs) can considerably improve the mechanical and thermal properties of polymeric composites. However, the tendency of NDs to aggregate limits the potential of these non-toxic, mechanically- and chemically-robust nanofillers. In this work, tough, flexible, and stimuli-responsive polyelectrolyte films composed of cross-linked poly(butyl acrylate-co-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (P(BA-co-DMAEMA)) were prepared by photopolymerization. The effects of the added carboxylate-functionalized NDs on their mechanical and stimuli-responsive properties were studied. When the negatively charged NDs were added to the polymerization media directly, the mechanical properties of the films changed only slightly, because of the uneven distribution of the aggregated NDs in the films. In order to disperse and distribute the NDs more evenly, a prepolymerized polycation block copolymer complexing agent was used during the photopolymerization process. This approach improved the mechanical properties of the films and enhanced their thermally-induced, reversible phase-transition behavior.
