[PMID: 37673147 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126662] [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: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
This work aims to develop an eco-sound nano-bio-hybrid sorbent using sustainable materials for sorptive elimination of congo red and phosphates from aquatic environment. An amphipathic biopolymer derivative, high DS guar gum benzoate (GGBN) was used for entrapment of as synthesized calcium carbonate nanoparticles using solvent diffusion nano-precipitation technique. Designer nano-biohybrids were developed upon experimenting with various materials stoichiometry. SEM, XRD and EDX studies confirmed near-uniform impregnation of rhombohedral calcium carbonate crystals throughout the biopolymer matrix. Average pore size distribution and surface area of final product Ca-GGBNC, were estimated from NDLFT and BET methods respectively. Analysis of adsorption findings acquired at study temperature 27 ± 2 °C showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of Ca-GGBNC recorded qmax, 333.33 mg/g for congo red azo dye and that for phosphate was at 500 mg/g. Adsorptive removal was noted and both components followed pseudo second order kinetics. Intra-particle diffusion kinetics investigation disclosed that the boundary layer effect was prominent and the adsorption rates were not solely directed by the diffusion stage. Activation energy, Ea was to be estimated using Arrhenius equation at 56.136 and 47.015 KJ/mol for congo red and phosphates respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters(ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°) revealed the spontaneous, feasible and endothermic sorption process. Owing to active surface area, spherical size, functional moiety and porous network, antibacterial properties of nanobiohybrid were persistent and MIC against E. coli and S. aureus were recorded at 200 μg/mL and 350 μg/mL respectively.

Abstract
In this study, Gum Arabic natural polymer was used to green synthesize calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CaCO3-NPs). Synthesized CaCO3-NPs were identified using various analyses such as FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and UV-Vis. The UV spectrum of nanoparticles showed an absorption band at a wavelength of 320 nm. FTIR analysis also confirmed the synthesis of nanoparticles. XRD studies showed that CaCO3-NPs have a rhombohedral crystalline structure with space group R-3c and an average size of about 42 nm. FESEM images showed that CaCO3-NPs have cubic morphology and EDX results confirmed the presence of carbon, calcium, and oxygen elements. The synthesized CaCO3-NPs showed good photocatalytic activity to methylene blue (MB) dye degradation, which percentage degradation was 93% after 120 min. Also, the cytotoxicity of CaCO3-NPs has been examined on the normal L929 and cancer CT26 cell lines and the IC50 value was about 250 µg/mL for cancer cells.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles are considered as chemically inert materials. Therefore, they are widely considered in the field of biosensing, drug delivery, and as filler material in plastic, paper, paint, sealant, and adhesive industries. The unusual properties of calcium carbonate-based nanomaterials, such as biocompatibility, high surface-to-volume ratio, robust nature, easy synthesis, and surface functionalization, and ability to exist in a variety of morphologies and polymorphs, make them an ideal candidate for both industrial and biomedical applications. Significant research efforts have been devoted for developing novel synthesis methods of calcium carbonate particles in micrometer and nanometer dimensions. This review highlights different approaches of the synthesis of calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles, such as precipitation, slow carbonation, emulsion, polymer-mediated method, including in-situ polymerization, mechano-chemical, microwave-assisted method, and biological methods. The applications of these versatile calcium carbonate micro- and nanoparticles in the biomedical field (such as in drug delivery, therapeutics, tissue engineering, antimicrobial activity, biosensing applications), in industries, and environmental sector has also been comprehensively covered.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance (MDR) Escherichia coli having Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) genes and the capacity to create a biofilm acts as a major reduction in the therapeutic effectiveness of antimicrobials. In search of a novel nanocarrier (NC) for targeted delivery of antibiotics, carbon dots (CDs) coated calcium carbonate nanocarriers (CCNC) from organic chicken eggshells conjugated with levofloxacin (Lvx) were synthesized. Our main objectives were to explore the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and NC potential of CDs coated CaCO3 Nanocarrier conjugated with levofloxacin (CD-CCNC-Lvx) to combat biofilm-producing MDR ESBL E. coli of urinary tract infection origin. The synthesized NC system was physiochemically characterized, validating the synthesis of CCNC and CD-CCNC-Lvx with a particle size of 56 and 14 nm, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed rod shape morphology. X-ray diffraction results discovered crystalline and dispersed nanoparticles. In vitro release drug kinetics illustrated sustained release of Lvx. NC system exhibited strong antibacterial and antibiofilm potential against E. coli with a noticeable low minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). MIC of CCNC was found to be 30 ± 0.1 μg/mL and CD-CCNC-Lvx was 20 ± 0.1 μg/mL for MDR ESBL-producing E. coli. The synergistic effect of NC upon conjugation with Lvx showed incredible activity with 30 mm zone of inhibition and 68% biofilm inhibition. Flow cytometry analysis revealed treated E. coli cells showed 58.69% reduction in cell viability. SEM images of treated bacterial cells showed morphological changes, which were also confirmed by our flow cytometry findings leading to cell membrane damage in E. coli. NC system also downregulated the blaCTX-M gene in E. coli. The hemolytic analysis proved biocompatibility with human red blood cells (RBCs). It is concluded that CCNC has the potential to be used as NC for target delivery of antibiotics and may combat toxicity of antibiotics as the inhibition of E. coli was noticed at low MIC concentration.

Abstract
The removal of excessive blood lead ions (Pb2+) is very important to human health, but current effective removal technology is still lacking because of the complex existence state of Pb2+ in blood, which can be attributed to the fact that most of the blood Pb2+ is combined with haemoglobin (Hb) located in red blood cells (RBCs). Here, a new type of magnetic mesoporous silica/ε-polylysine nanomotor-based remover (MMS/P NR) with abundant chelation sites was designed, synthesized and used to remove Pb2+ from blood. The magnetic core can make the nanocomposites become nanomotors with autonomous movement under an external variable magnetic field, which can effectively improve the contact probability between the MMS/P NRs and Pb2+-contaminated Hb in RBCs. The amino rich ε-polylysine (ε-PL) was used as the co-template of mesoporous silica. Mesoporous channels can provide a confinement effect for Pb2+-contaminated Hb to stabilize the captured blood Pb2+. The movement behavior of the MMS/P NRs in and out of RBCs and the capture mechanism of Pb2+ in the blood were studied. The results indicate that the MMS/P NRs we propose have good blood compatibility, low cytotoxicity, magnetic properties, autonomous movement ability and recyclability under the condition of an external magnetic field. Moreover, compared with the experimental conditions without an external variable magnetic field (0.01485 mg g-1), the MMS/P NRs show a higher blood Pb2+ removal ability under the condition of an external variable magnetic field (0.05525 mg g-1). The design strategy of this remover based on nanomotor technology has great potential in the future medical treatment of heavy metal poisoning.

Abstract
Modifying living cells using in-situ synthesized nanomaterials to endow them with new functions is highly desirable. Herein we report intra- and extra-cellular dual-modified red blood cells (RBCs) with intracellular CaCO3 nanoparticles (NPs) and extracellular polypyrrole-folic acid (PPy-FA) coating, which are exploited as a bifunctional drug carrier. The functionalized living cells (CaCO3@RBC@PPy-FA) are fabricated through first the intracellular in situ reaction of exogenous Ca2+ and CO32- ions to generate CaCO3 NPs, then polymerization of pyrrole and finally modification of folic acid (FA) on the membrane of individual cells, forming a CaCO3@RBC@PPy-FA structure. As a result, such dual-modified RBCs not only preserve the original performances of the cells but also possess the desirable properties as a drug carrier, such as high loading capacity due to the action of CaCO3 NPs, targeting and light-controlled drug release due to the action of PPy-FA. Under NIR laser stimulation, these bifunctional RBCs (DOX-CaCO3@RBC@PPy-FA) present an instant release profile of doxorubicin (DOX) and have high targeting-ability toward cancer cells, achieving a marked synergistic combined photothermal-chemotherapy effect.

Abstract
We investigate the impact of nanoparticle roughness on the phase behaviour of suspensions in models of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. We use a Derjaguin approach that incorporates roughness effects and interactions between the nanoparticles modelled with a combination of DLVO forces and hydration forces, derived using experimental data and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, respectively. Roughness effects, such as atomic steps or terraces appearing in mineral surfaces result in very different effective inter-nanoparticle potentials. Using stochastic Langevin Dynamics computer simulations and the effective interparticle interactions we demonstrate that relatively small changes in the roughness of the particles modify significantly the stability of the suspensions. We propose that the sensitivity of the phase behavior to the roughness is connected to the short length scale of the adhesive attraction arising from the ordering of water layers confined between calcite surfaces. Particles with smooth surfaces feature strong adhesive forces, and form gel fractal structures, while small surface roughness, of the order of atomic steps in mineral faces, stabilize the suspension. We believe that our work helps to rationalize the contrasting experimental results that have been obtained recently using nanoparticles or extended surfaces, which provide support for the existence of adhesive or repulsive interactions, respectively. We further use our model to analyze the synergistic effects of roughness, pH and ion concentration on the phase behavior of suspensions, connecting with recent experiments using calcium carbonate nanoparticles.
