Abstract
Recent focus has been directed toward semiconductor nanocrystals owing to their unique physicochemical properties. Nevertheless, the synthesis and characterization of quantum dots (QDs) pose considerable challenges, limiting our understanding of their interactions within a biological environment. This research offers valuable insights into the environmentally friendly production of silver quantum dots (Ag QDs) using lentil extract and clarifies their distinct physicochemical characteristics, previously unexplored to our knowledge. These findings pave the path for potential practical applications. The investigation of the phytochemical-assisted Ag QDs' affinity for BSA demonstrated modest interactions, as shown by the enthalpy and entropy changes as well as the associated Gibbs free energy during their association. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy further demonstrated a transient effect involving dynamic quenching, predominantly driven by Forster resonance energy transfer. Additionally, the study highlights the potential broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of Ag QDs (<5 nm, a zeta potential of -3.04 mV), exhibiting a remarkable MIC value of 1 μg/mL against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and 1.65 μg/mL against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus). They can readily enter cells and tissues due to their minuscule size and the right chemical environment. They cause intracellular pathway disruption, which leads to cell death. This outcome emphasizes the distinctive biocompatibility of the green-synthesized Ag QDs, which has been confirmed by their MTT assay-based cytotoxicity against the PC-3 and Wi-38 cell lines.

Potential magnetic drug targeting with magnetite nanoparticles in cancer treatment by enhancer-modifier natural herb and loaded drug. Heliyon 2024; 10:e32484. [PMID: 38961896 PMCID: PMC11219342 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
In the present study, we prepared magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) loaded with natural Moringa oleifera (M. olf) herb and Epilim (Ep) drug to evaluate the anti-cancerous activity against brain cancer cells. All the samples were prepared via co-precipitation approach modified with different concentrations of M. olf and Ep drug at room temperature. The MNPs loaded with drug and natural herb were studied in terms of crystal structure, morphology, colloidal stability, size distribution, and magnetic properties. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images exhibited the morphologies of samples with spherical shape as well as the particles size of 9 nm for MNPs and up to 23 nm for its composites. The results of vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) indicated the magnetization saturation (Ms) of 42.510 emu/g for MNPs. This value reduced to 16-35 emu/g upon loading MNPs with different concentrations of M. olf and Ep. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated the chemical interaction between the Ep, M.olf and MNPs. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis confirmed the largest surface area for MNPs (422.61 m2/g) which gradually reduced on addition of M. olf and Ep indicating the successful loading. The zeta potential measurements indicated that the MNPs and MNPs loaded with M. olf and Ep are negatively charged and can be dispersed in the suspension. Furthermore, U87 human glioblastoma cell line was used for the in vitro cellular studies to determine the efficacy of synthesized MNPs against cancer cells. The results confirmed the anti-proliferative activity of the MNPs loaded with M. olf and Ep.

Abstract
Liposomes are widely used in the biological field due to their good biocompatibility and surface modification properties. With the development of biochemistry and material science, many liposome structures and their surface functional components have been modified and optimized one by one, pushing the liposome platform from traditional to functionalized and intelligent, which will better satisfy and expand the needs of scientific research. However, a main limiting factor effecting the efficiency of liposomes is the complicated environmental conditions in the living body. Currently, in order to overcome the above problem, functionalized liposomes have become a very promising strategy. In this paper, binding strategies of liposomes with four main functional elements, namely nucleic acids, antibodies, peptides, and stimuli-responsive motif have been summarized for the first time. In addition, based on the construction characteristics of functionalized liposomes, such as drug-carrying, targeting, long-circulating, and stimulus-responsive properties, a comprehensive overview of their features and respective research progress are presented. Finally, the paper critically presents the limitations of these functionalized liposomes in the current applications and also prospectively suggests the future development directions, aiming to accelerate realization of their industrialization.

Abstract
Sustainable release of drug by utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) based inclusion complex (IC) is the prime objective of the present work. Herein, polyacrylamide/dextran containing carbon quantum dots (PAM/Dex/CQD) nanocomposite hydrogels are prepared by in situ polymerization of acrylamide. The incorporation of CQD triggers the change in orientation of the PAM/Dex polymeric chains to result the formation of stacked surface morphology of the hydrogel. The average particle size of CQD is found to be 4.13 nm from HRTEM analysis. As-synthesized nanocomposite hydrogel exhibits an optimum swelling ratio of 863 % in aqueous medium. The cytotoxicity study is conducted on HeLa cells by taking up to 2 μM concentration of the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel demonstrate 78 % cell viability. In present study, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is taken as model drug that achieves release of 64.15 % in 32 h from β-Cipro@PAM/Dex/CQD hydrogels in acidic medium. From theoretical study, release rate constants, R2, Akaike information criterion (AIC) and model selection criterion (MSC) are computed to determine the best fitted kinetics model. Peppas-Sahlin model is the best fitted kinetics model for β-Cipro@PAM/Dex/CQD and concluded that the release of Cipro follows Fickian drug diffusion mechanism in acidic medium.

Core-Shell Fe 3O 4@C Nanoparticles as Highly Effective T 2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:177.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have been intensively investigated because of their potential biomedical applications due to their high saturation magnetization. In this study, core-shell Fe3O4@C NPs (core = Fe3O4 NPs and shell = amorphous carbons, davg = 35.1 nm) were synthesized in an aqueous solution. Carbon coating terminated with hydrophilic -OH and -COOH groups imparted excellent biocompatibility and hydrophilicity to the NPs, making them suitable for biomedical applications. The Fe3O4@C NPs exhibited ideal relaxometric properties for T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (i.e., high transverse and negligible longitudinal water proton spin relaxivities), making them exclusively induce only T2 relaxation. Their T2 MRI performance as contrast agents was confirmed in vivo by measuring T2 MR images in mice before and after intravenous injection.

Prussian blue analogues-derived zero valent iron to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate for phenol degradation triggered via reactive oxygen species and high-valent iron-oxo complexes.

Abstract
It is of great significance to develop the effective technique to treat phenol-containing wastewater. Herein, Fe-based prussian blue analogues-derived zero valent iron (ZVI) was successfully synthesized by one-step calcination method. Owing to high specific surface area and rich active sites, ZVI-2 possessed excellent performance in charge transfer. Notably, in comparison with conventional ZVI and Fe2+, ZVI-2 can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for achieving rapid degradation of phenol, and the highest removal efficiency of phenol reached 94.9% within 24 min. More importantly, developed ZVI-2/PMS oxidation system with good stability displayed strong anti-interference capability. Interestingly, Fe0 loaded on the surface of ZVI-2 can efficiently break the O-O bond of PMS to generate reactive oxygen species (i.e., SO4•-, OH•, O2•- and 1O2). As main adsorption sites of PMS, the existence of oxygen vacancy promote the formation of high-valent transition metal complexes (namely ZVI-2≡Fe4+=O). Under the combined action of reactive oxygen species and ZVI-2≡Fe4+=O, phenol can be eventually degraded into CO2 and H2O. The possible degradation pathways of phenol were also investigated. Furthermore, proposed ZVI-2/PMS oxidation system displayed great potential for application in the field of wastewater treatment. All in all, current work provided a valuable reference for design and application of Fe-based catalysts in PS-AOPs.

Abstract
Ethyl-thioglycolate-modified Fe3O4@ZnS nanoparticles (Fe3O4@ZnS-SH) were successfully prepared using a simple chemical precipitation method. The introduction of ethyl thioglycolate better regulated the surface distribution of ZnS, which can act as a recognition group and can cause a considerable quenching of the fluorescence intensity of the magnetic fluorescent nanoprobe, Fe3O4@ZnS-SH. Benefiting from stable fluorescence emission, the magnetic fluorescent nanoprobe showed a highly selective fluorescent response to Ag+ in the range of 0-400 μM, with a low detection limit of 0.20 μM. The magnetic fluorescent nanoprobe was used to determine the content of Ag+ in real samples. A simple and environmentally friendly approach was proposed to simultaneously achieve the enrichment, detection, and separation of Ag+ and the magnetic fluorescent nanoprobe from an aqueous solution. These results may lead to a wider range of application prospects of Fe3O4 nanomaterials as base materials for fluorescence detection in the environment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death induced by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation imbalance. It has emerged as a promising antitumor therapeutic strategy in recent years. In this work, we successfully synthesized a complex magnetic nanocube Fe3O4 modified with PEI and HA by the thermal decomposition method. While loading a ferroptosis inducer RSL3 inhibited cancer cells through the ferroptosis signal transduction pathway. The drug delivery system could actively target tumor cells through an external magnetic field and HA-CD44 binding. Zeta potential analysis showed that Fe3O4-PEI@HA-RSL3 nanoparticles were more stable and uniformly dispersed in tumor acidic environment. Moreover, cellular experiments demonstrated that Fe3O4-PEI@HA-RSL3 nanoparticles could significantly inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma cells without a cytotoxic effect on normal hepatic cells. In addition, Fe3O4-PEI@HA-RSL3 played a vital role in ferroptosis by accelerating ROS production. The expression of ferroptosis-related genes Lactoferrin, FACL 4, GPX 4 and Ferritin was significantly suppressed with increasing treatment of Fe3O4-PEI@HA-RSL3 nanocubes. Therefore, this ferroptosis nanomaterial has great potential in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 222:115347. [PMID: 36702185 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we report a novel Cu2(OH)3 F/CQDs-BiVO4 composite photo-Fenton-like system, which used BiVO4 and Cu2(OH)3F as electron donor and acceptor, respectively, and achieved efficient electron transfer between them through the electron bridging effect of Carbon quantum dots (CQDs). The material exhibited excellent ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal efficiency in the photo-Fenton-like coupled system. Cu2(OH)3 F/CQDs-BiVO4 had an incredibly fast response rate, eliminating 98.1% of CIP from the solution in just 1 h, according to the reaction kinetics. Exploratory tests proved that the catalyst kept up a sufficient level of activity across a wide pH range of 3-11 and in the presence of various anions. The activity, morphology, and crystal structure of the samples did not appreciably alter after five recycles. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism was also proposed based on the band structure, position and reaction species.

Nanomaterials-Incorporated Chemically Modified Gelatin Methacryloyl-Based Biomedical Composites: A Novel Approach for Bone Tissue Engineering. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:2645. [PMID: 36559139 PMCID: PMC9788194 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14122645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based composites are evolving three-dimensional (3D) networking hydrophilic protein composite scaffolds with high water content. These protein composites have been devoted to biomedical applications due to their unique abilities, such as flexibility, soft structure, versatility, stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and others. They resemble the native extracellular matrix (ECM) thanks to their remarkable cell-adhesion and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive amino acid motifs. These favorable properties promote cells to proliferate and inflate within GelMA-protein scaffolds. The performance of GelMA composites has been enriched using cell-amenable components, including peptides and proteins with a high affinity to harmonize cellular activities and tissue morphologies. Due to their inimitable merits, GelMA systems have been used in various fields such as drug delivery, biosensor, the food industry, biomedical, and other health sectors. The current knowledge and the role of GelMA scaffolds in bone tissue engineering are limited. The rational design and development of novel nanomaterials-incorporated GelMA-based composites with unique physicochemical and biological advantages would be used to regulate cellular functionality and bone regeneration. Substantial challenges remain. This review focuses on recent progress in mitigating those disputes. The study opens with a brief introduction to bone tissue engineering and GelMA-based composites, followed by their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. The future perspectives and current challenges of GelMA composites are demonstrated. This review would guide the researchers to design and fabricate more efficient multifunctional GelMA-based composites with improved characteristics for their practical applications in bone tissue engineering and biomedical segments.

Chitosan/Gamma-Alumina/Fe3O4@5-FU Nanostructures as Promising Nanocarriers: Physiochemical Characterization and Toxicity Activity. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27175369. [PMID: 36080138 PMCID: PMC9458215 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27175369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Today, cancer treatment is an important issue in the medical world due to the challenges and side effects of ongoing treatment procedures. Current methods can be replaced with targeted nano-drug delivery systems to overcome such side effects. In the present work, an intelligent nano-system consisting of Chitosan (Ch)/Gamma alumina (γAl)/Fe3O4 and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was synthesized and designed for the first time in order to influence the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cell line in the treatment of breast cancer. Physico-chemical characterization of the nanocarriers was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM analysis revealed smooth and homogeneous spherical nanoparticles. The high stability of the nanoparticles and their narrow size distribution was confirmed by DLS. The results of the loading study demonstrated that these nano-systems cause controlled, stable, and pH-sensitive release in cancerous environments with an inactive targeting mechanism. Finally, the results of MTT and flow cytometry tests indicated that this nano-system increased the rate of apoptosis induction on cancerous masses and could be an effective alternative to current treatments.
