Currently, cancer is the second largest cause of death worldwide and has reached critical levels. In spite all efforts, common treatments including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy suffer from various problems which limit their efficiency performance. For this reason, different strategies are being explored improve these traditional therapeutic methods or treat tumor cells directly. One such strategy utilizing Fenton reaction been investigated by many groups for...
A novel reduced iron metal-organic framework nanoparticle with cytotoxicity specific to cancer cells is presented. This was prepared via a hydrothermal method, using hydroquinone, and finally conjugated folic acid (namely, rMOF-FA). The synthesized shows the controlled release of in an acidic ex-vivo environment. Iron present on rMOF-FA released into solution can react high levels hydrogen peroxide found specifically increase hydroxyl radical concentration. radicals oxidize proteins, lipids,...
Selective cancer treatment using combined Fenton and starvation therapies through hemoglobin glucose oxidase encapsulated in pH-sensitive ZIF-8.
Abstract The use of hemoglobin (Hb) contained within red blood cells to drive a controlled radical polymerization via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process is reported for the first time. No pre‐treatment Hb or was required prior their as catalysts, indicating potential synthetic engineering in complex biological microenvironments without need ex vivo techniques. Owing naturally occurring prevalence reagents employed catalytic system (Hb and hydrogen peroxide), this...
Abstract Fine control over the architecture and/or microstructure of synthetic polymers is fast becoming a reality owing to development efficient and versatile polymerization techniques conjugation reactions. However, transition these syntheses automated, programmable, high‐throughput operating systems challenging step needed translate vast potential precision into machine‐programmable for biological functional applications. Chain‐growth polymerizations are particularly appealing their...
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that the gradual and slow production of initiating radicals (i.e., hydroxyl here) is key point for synthesis ultra‐high molecular weight (UHMW) polymers via controlled radical polymerization. Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) ferrous iron (Fe 2+ react Fenton redox chemistry to initiate RAFT work presents two enzymatic‐mediated Bio‐Fenton‐RAFT Semi Bio‐Fenton‐RAFT) one syringe pump‐driven Fenton‐RAFT polymerization processes in which are carefully gradually dosed...
Aqueous Fenton-reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization catalyzed by heterogeneous catalysts, that is, Fe(II) metal–organic framework (MOF) particles, coupled with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) the reaction mixture exposed to air in open vessels is reported. Reactive hydroxyl radicals are generated via a redox between of MOF particles and H2O2, which then chemically deoxygenate situ, initiating RAFT polymerization. Well-controlled polymers (Đ < 1.1) experimental...
A nanostructured MOF composite was utilized as an enzyme mimic for the generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide, which can subsequently initiate RAFT polymerizations in aqueous or organic media.
Fenton cancer therapy as a new methodology for the treatment of tumour cells is largely restricted owing to low stability, high aggregation, and poor selectivity reported nanoparticles. In this study, an improved approach selective destruction reported. Metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles were synthesized reduced via hydrothermal method, then PEGylated through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) reaction produce MOF (P@rMOF). The ratio PEG was used...
