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...
Star polymers are comprised of multiple arms or branches radiating from a central point core and have been huge scientific interest since they were first prepared sixty years ago, as result their unique physical properties. not just an academic curiosity, but currently employed under investigation in wide range industries commercial materials ranging engine oils coating technologies to contact lenses biomedical devices. Although there many different types star methods for synthesis, recent...
The application of external stimuli such as light to induce controlled radical polymerization reactions has important implications in the field materials science. In this study, photoactivation trithiocarbonates (TTCs) (i.e., conventional RAFT agents) by visible (∼460 nm) is investigated, and ability TTCs control under complete absence exogenous photoinitiators or catalysts demonstrated for first time. By selectively exciting spin-forbidden n → π* electronic transition, polyacrylates...
Recent developments in polymerization reactions utilizing thiocarbonylthio compounds have highlighted the surprising versatility of these unique molecules. The increasing popularity reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical as a means producing well‐defined, ‘controlled’ synthetic polymers is largely due to its simplicity implementation and availability wide range compatible reagents. However, novel modes activation can expand technique beyond traditional system (i.e.,...
Chemical modification of gelatin by a natural phenolic compound tannic acid (TA) at pH 8 was studied, and the properties modified materials were examined. The cross-linking effect predominant when TA content lower, resulting in formation partially insoluble cross-link network. structure stable even under boiling, protein matrix became rigid, whereas mechanical enhanced. An effective on achieved amount around 3 wt %. Further increase enhanced grafting branching reactions between conjunction...
Cross-linking gelatin with natural phenolic compound caffeic acid (CA) or tannic (TA) above pH 9 resulted in formation of insoluble hydrogels. The cross-linking reactivity was controlled by variation pH, the concentration solution, amount CA TA used reaction. chemistry studied high-resolution NMR technique both solution and solid state via investigation on small molecular model systems using (13)C enriched (LCA) reaction gelatin. Direct evidence obtained to confirm chemical reactions...
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,...
Abstract The ultrasonic irradiation of aqueous solution is demonstrated to be a suitable source initiating radicals for controlled radical polymerization when conducted in the presence thiocarbonylthio‐containing reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent. This allows highly “green” method externally regulated/controlled with potentially broad scope polymerizable monomers and/or polymer structures.
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria are on the rise and, therefore, new antimicrobial agents required to prevent onset of a postantibiotic era. In this study, we develop compounds in form single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs) that exhibit excellent activity against Gram-negative (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa) at micromolar concentrations 1.4 μM) and remarkably kill ≥99.99% both planktonic cells biofilm within an hour. Linear random copolymers, which comprise...
