Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132413. [PMID: 38761911 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Herein, 5-fluorouracil and shikonin (extracted from Fusarium tricinctum) were loaded in chitosan/pectin nanoparticle (CS/PEC-NPs), prepared by blending (B-CS/PEC-NPs) and coating (C-CS/PEC-NPs) methods. The nanoparticles characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Differential Light Scattering (DLS). Then, some properties of the nanoparticles such as drug release rate and the nanoparticles cytotoxicity were studied. The FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM and DLS results showed that the nanoparticles synthesized properly with an almost spherical morphology, an average size of 82-93 nm for B-CS/PEC-NPs, an average diameter of below 100 nm (mostly 66-89 nm) for C-CS/PEC-NPs, and hydrodynamic diameter of 310-817 nm. The drug release results indicated the lower release rate of drugs for B-CS/PEC-NPs relative to C-CS/PEC-NPs at different pHs, high release rate of drugs for the nanoparticles in the simulated large intestinal fluids containing pectinase, and Korsmeyer-Peppas model for release of the drugs. The results showed more cytotoxicity of B-CS/PEC-NPs containing drugs, especially B-CS/PEC-NPs containing both drugs (B-CS/PEC/5-FU/SHK-NPs) after treating with pectinase (IC50 of 18.6 μg/mL). In conclusion, despite the limitation of C-CS/PEC-NPs for simultaneous loading of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, B-CS/PEC-NPs showed suitable potency for loading and targeted delivery of the drugs.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:244. [PMID: 38334515 PMCID: PMC10856890 DOI: 10.3390/nano14030244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
A nanozyme is a nanoscale material having enzyme-like properties. It exhibits several superior properties, including low preparation cost, robust catalytic activity, and long-term storage at ambient temperatures. Moreover, high stability enables repetitive use in multiple catalytic reactions. Hence, it is considered a potential replacement for natural enzymes. Enormous research interest in nanozymes in the past two decades has made it imperative to look for better enzyme-mimicking materials for biomedical applications. Given this, research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a potential nanozyme material has gained momentum. MOFs are advanced hybrid materials made of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Their distinct composition, adaptable pore size, structural diversity, and ease in the tunability of physicochemical properties enable MOFs to mimic enzyme-like activities and act as promising nanozyme candidates. This review aims to discuss recent advances in the development of MOF-based nanozymes (MOF-NZs) and highlight their applications in the field of biomedicine. Firstly, different enzyme-mimetic activities exhibited by MOFs are discussed, and insights are given into various strategies to achieve them. Modification and functionalization strategies are deliberated to obtain MOF-NZs with enhanced catalytic activity. Subsequently, applications of MOF-NZs in the biosensing and therapeutics domain are discussed. Finally, the review is concluded by giving insights into the challenges encountered with MOF-NZs and possible directions to overcome them in the future. With this review, we aim to encourage consolidated efforts across enzyme engineering, nanotechnology, materials science, and biomedicine disciplines to inspire exciting innovations in this emerging yet promising field.

Introducing a portable electrochemical biosensor for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis detection using graphene oxide and chitosan. Sci Rep 2024; 14:34. [PMID: 38167964 PMCID: PMC10761741 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50706-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
In this contribution, a novel, low-cost, high throughput, and ultra-selective electrochemical DNA nanobiosensor was developed for accurate on-site detection of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in real media for practical diagnosis of Johne's disease (JD). The method was designed based on the immobilization of graphene oxide and chitosan biopolymer on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, modified by electrochemical immobilization of graphene oxide and chitosan biopolymer, followed by activation of biopolymer via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxy succinimide (EDC/NHS) coupling system. Afterward, the commercial probe DNA (ssDNA) was stabilized on the activated electrode surface to prepare an ultra-selective ssDNA-stabilized nanobiosensor for MAP sensing called "ssDNA-stabilized GO-CH-EDC/NHS-modified electrode". Several characterization methods distinguished the bioelectrode. The DNA hybridization between the nanobiosensor and target DNA was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. "At optimal experimental conditions, the nanobiosensor showed a linear range of 1.0 × 10-15-1.0 × 10-12 mol L-1, a detection limit as low as 1.53 × 10-13 mol L-1, and a repeatability with a relative standard deviation (%RSD) of 4.7%. The reproducibility was also appropriate, with a %RSD of about 10%. It was used to diagnose MAP in real samples with highly accurate results. Therefore, the developed nanobiosensor can be used for clinical diagnosis of MAP.

Abstract
The electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia is both an alternative strategy to industrial Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis and a prospective idea for changing waste (nitrate pollution of groundwater around the world) into valuable chemicals, but still hindered by its in-process strongly competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), low ammonia conversion efficiency, and the absence of stability and sustainability. Considering the unique electronic structure of anti-perovskite structured Fe4N, a tandem disproportionation reaction and nitridation-carbonation route for building a multi-layer core-shell oxide/nitride/C catalyst, such as MoO2/Fe4N/C, is designed and executed, in which abundant Fe-N active sites and rich phase interfaces are in situ formed for both suppressing HER and fast transport of electrons and reaction intermediates. As a result, the sample's NO3RR conversion displays a very high NH3 yield rate of up to 11.10 molNH3 gcat.-1 h-1 (1.67 mmol cm-2 h-1) with a superior 99.3% faradaic efficiency and the highest half-cell energy efficiency of 30%, surpassing that of most previous reports. In addition, it is proved that the NO3RR assisted by the MoO2/Fe4N/C electrocatalyst can be carried out in 0.50-1.00 M KNO3 electrolyte at a pH value of 6-14 for a long time. These results guide the rational design of highly active, selective, and durable electrocatalysts based on anti-perovskite Fe4N for the NO3RR.
