The discovery of new solutions with antibacterial activity as efficient and safe alternatives to common preservatives (such parabens) combat emerging infections drug-resistant bacterial pathogens is highly expected in cosmetics pharmaceutics. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting interest novel effective antimicrobial agents for the prevention several infectious diseases.Water-soluble, negatively charged (AgNPs) were synthesized by reduction citric tannic acid characterized...
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive, invasive, and metastatic tumor. Although it reported to be sensitive cytotoxic chemotherapeutics, frequent relapse chemoresistance often result in treatment failure. In this study, we developed biomimetic nanodrug consisting of self-assembling variant (HFn) human apoferritin loaded with curcumin. HFn nanocage improved the solubility, chemical stability, bioavailability curcumin, allowing us reliably carry out several experiments...
We report the development of an efficient antibody delivery system for incorporation trastuzumab (TZ) into poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanoparticles (PLGA NPs). The aim work was to overcome current limitations in clinical use therapeutic antibodies, including immunogenicity, poor pharmacokinetics, low tumor penetration and safety issues.Trastuzumab-loaded PLGA NPs (PLGA-TZ) were synthesized according a double emulsion method. same protocol used produce control batches nonspecific...
All bound up: A small variant of protein (red; see picture) was used as a biotemplate for the synthesis and biofunctionalization gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These functionalized AuNPs were able to bind antibodies (green blocks, trastuzumab; TZ) with defined orientation, thus showing promise bio-nanoparticle systems suitable selective cell labeling by membrane-receptor-specific recognition.
A novel approach for multivalent targeting by using gold nanoparticles noncovalently decorated tight functionalization with a cone-glycocalixarene bearing four mannose units is reported. The efficiency of these shown to be remarkably improved compared that monovalent mannosylated derivative.
The goal of this work is to develop an innovative approach for the coating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a synthetic functional copolymer. This stable thickness few nanometers provides, at same time, stabilization and functionalization particles. polymeric consists backbone polydimethylacrylamide (DMA) functionalized alkyne monomer that allows binding azido modified molecules by Cu(I)-catalyzed azide/alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC, click chemistry). thin polymer layer on surface...
Gold nanoparticles were obtained by reduction of a tetrachloroaurate aqueous solution in the presence RGD-(GC)(2) peptide as stabilizer. As comparison, behavior (GC)(2) has been studied.

Gold nanocages (AuNCs) have been shown to be a useful tool for harnessing imaging and hyperthermia therapy of cancer, thanks their unique optical properties, low toxicity, facile surface functionalization. Herein, we use AuNCs selective targeting prostate cancer cells (PC3) via specific interaction between neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor three different NPY analogs conjugated AuNCs. Localized plasmon resonance band the nanoconjugates was set around 800 nm, which is appropriate in vivo...
The functionalization of colloidal nanoparticles with short peptides often fails in achieving satisfactory targeting efficiency and selectivity toward receptor-specific human cells. Here, we show that an optimized passivation gold nanoparticle surface a mixed self-assembled monolayer, including ligand, fluorescent dye, intercalating PEG derivative, led to very stable, nontoxic, efficient nanoconjugate for urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-positive breast cancer
The efficient targeting of cancer cells depends on the success obtaining active overexpressed receptors. A very accurate design nanoconjugates should be done via selection conjugation strategy to achieve effective targeted nanoconjugates. Here, we present a detailed study cetuximab-conjugated nonspherical gold nanocages for triple-negative breast cells, including MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468. few different general strategies were selected monoclonal antibody nanoparticle surface.
