Abstract
Recent developments in nanoscale materials have found extensive use in various fields, especially in the biomedical industry. Several substantial obstacles must be overcome, particularly those related to nanostructured materials in biomedicine, before they can be used in therapeutic applications. Significant concerns in biomedicine include biological processes, adaptability, toxic effects, and nano-biointerfacial properties. Biomedical researchers have difficulty choosing suitable materials for drug carriers, cancer treatment, and antiviral uses. Carbon nanomaterials are among the various nanoparticle forms that are continually receiving interest for biomedical applications. They are suitable materials owing to their distinctive physical and chemical properties, such as electrical, high-temperature, mechanical, and optical diversification. An individualized, controlled, dependable, low-carcinogenic, target-specific drug delivery system can diagnose and treat infections in biomedical applications. The variety of carbon materials at the nanoscale is remarkable. Allotropes and other forms of the same element, carbon, are represented in nanoscale dimensions. These show promise for a wide range of applications. Carbon nanostructured materials with exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties include graphene and carbon nanotubes. They can potentially revolutionize industries, including electronics, energy, and medicine. Ongoing investigation and expansion efforts continue to unlock possibilities for these materials, making them a key player in shaping the future of advanced technology. Carbon nanostructured materials explore the potential positive effects of reducing the greenhouse effect. The current state of nanostructured materials in the biomedical sector is covered in this review, along with their synthesis techniques and potential uses.

Water-Soluble Fullerene C 60 Derivatives Are Effective Inhibitors of Influenza Virus Replication. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11030681. [PMID: 36985255 PMCID: PMC10053623 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11030681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The influenza virus genome features a very high mutation rate leading to the rapid selection of drug-resistant strains. Due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, there is a need for the further development of new potent antivirals against influenza with a broad activity spectrum. Thus, the search for a novel, effective broad-spectrum antiviral agent is a top priority of medical science and healthcare systems. In this paper, derivatives based on fullerenes with broad virus inhibiting activities in vitro against a panel of influenza viruses were described. The antiviral properties of water-soluble fullerene derivatives were studied. It was demonstrated that the library of compounds based on fullerenes has cytoprotective activity. Maximum virus-inhibiting activity and minimum toxicity were found with compound 2, containing residues of salts of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylpropanoic acid (CC50 > 300 µg/mL, IC50 = 4.73 µg/mL, SI = 64). This study represents the initial stage in a study of fullerenes as anti-influenza drugs. The results of the study lead us conclude that five leading compounds (1-5) have pharmacological prospects.

Abstract
The use of nanomaterials has been increasing in recent times, and they are widely used in industries such as cosmetics, drugs, food, water treatment, and agriculture. The rapid development of new nanomaterials demands a set of approaches to evaluate the potential toxicity and risks related to them. In this regard, nanosafety has been using and adapting already existing methods (toxicological approach), but the unique characteristics of nanomaterials demand new approaches (nanotoxicology) to fully understand the potential toxicity, immunotoxicity, and (epi)genotoxicity. In addition, new technologies, such as organs-on-chips and sophisticated sensors, are under development and/or adaptation. All the information generated is used to develop new in silico approaches trying to predict the potential effects of newly developed materials. The overall evaluation of nanomaterials from their production to their final disposal chain is completed using the life cycle assessment (LCA), which is becoming an important element of nanosafety considering sustainability and environmental impact. In this review, we give an overview of all these elements of nanosafety.

Abstract
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity remains a common problem after exposure to medications and diagnostic agents, which may be heightened in the kidney microenvironment and deteriorate kidney function. In this study, the toxic effects of fourteen marked drugs with the individual chemical structure were evaluated in kidney cells. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approach was employed to investigate the potential structural descriptors of each drug-related to their toxic effects. The most reasonable equation of the QSAR model displayed that the estimated regression coefficients such as the number of ring assemblies, three-membered rings, and six-membered rings were strongly related to toxic effects on renal cells. Meanwhile, the chemical properties of the tested compounds including carbon atoms, bridge bonds, H-bond donors, negative atoms, and rotatable bonds were favored properties and promote the toxic effects on renal cells. Particularly, more numbers of rotatable bonds were positively correlated with strong toxic effects that displayed on the most toxic compound. The useful information discovered from our regression QSAR models may help to identify potential hazardous moiety to avoid nephrotoxicity in renal preventive medicine.

Abstract
Cell death is critical to human health and is associated with a variety of medical conditions. Therefore, new controllers of cell death are needed for the treatment of diverse diseases. In particular, nanoparticles (NP) are now regularly used in various applications, including a variety of products and medicines. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are widely used in the medical field against A549 lung carcinoma cells. The present study is devoted to developing computational models of the cellular uptake potentials by A549 cells of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) under various conditions. Simplified molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) is an efficient tool to represent the molecular structure by a sequence of symbols. Quasi-SMILES represents an extended version of SMILES where symbols to denote physicochemical and/or biochemical conditions are added. In other words, the quasi-SMILES represents a biochemical (medical) phenomenon related to the whole matter (not only molecular structure). We developed models for the cellular utpake potential of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in A549 [10-11 g Au/Cell] under various conditions based on quasi-SMILES using the Monte Carlo method. The statistical quality of these models is quite good.

Identification of potential descriptors of water-soluble fullerene derivatives responsible for antitumor effects on lung cancer cells via QSAR analysis. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2021; 19:812-825. [PMID: 33598097 PMCID: PMC7847972 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2021.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Water-soluble fullerene derivatives are actively investigated as potential drugs for cancer treatment due to their favorable membranotropic properties. Herein, cytotoxic effects of twenty fullerene derivatives with different solubilizing addends were evaluated in three different types of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The potential structural descriptors of the solubilizing addends related to the inhibitory activities on each type of lung cancer cell were investigated by the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approach. The determination coefficient r2 for the recommended QSAR model were 0.9325, 0.8404, and 0.9011 for A549, H460, and H1299 cell lines, respectively. The results revealed that the chemical features of the fullerene-based compounds including aromatic bonds, sulfur-containing aromatic rings, and oxygen atoms are favored properties and promote the inhibitory effects on H460 and H1299 cells. Particularly, thiophene moiety is the key functional group, which was positively correlated with strong inhibitory effects on the three types of lung cancer cells. The useful information obtained from our regression models may lead to the design of more efficient inhibitors of the three types of NSCLC.
