Development and characterization of antitumoral electrospun polycaprolactone/functionalized Fe3O4 hybrid membranes

The applicative potentiality of the nanotechnologies emerges more and more in all fields of science, technology, and medicine. In this context, magnetic nanoparticles have been recently proposed as promising nanomaterials to eliminate, through minimally invasive treatments, small tumours. This work deals with the design and realization of electrospun hybrid membranes of Polycaprolactone (PCL) incorporating magnetic nanoparticles modified with the acid citric-based ligand. The nature of the ligand allows very effective compatibility between nanoparticles and hosting fibers, as deducible by the nanoparticles distribution along the fibers. Dimension and functionalization of the nanoparticles, together with the optimization of the electrospinning parameters allow obtaining highly homogeneous distribution in the diameter of the nanocharged fibers, which ranges between 500 nm and 3 μm. The anticancer activity of the optimized electrospun hybrid membranes has been analyzed toward two different melanoma cell lines: the low metastatic A375 and the high metastatic A2058, using the MTT assay. The formulated membrane exhibited a dose-dependent reduction toward both melanoma cells viability, without a decrease of activity compared to the unfunctionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Promising results have been obtained also considering the antitumor activity of the hybrid Membranes toward uterine HeLa cells. Magnetic properties and structural and morphological characteristics of the functional membranes highlight very promising applications for tuning/enhancing the nanodelivery of drugs and chemotherapy assisted by electroporation technique.     

Protease Immobilization on γ‐Fe2O3/Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles for the Synthesis of Oligopeptides in Organic Solvents

The use of nanobiocatalysts, with the combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology, is considered as an exciting and rapidly emerging area. The use of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, as enzyme immobilization carriers, has drawn great attention because of their unique properties, such as controllable particle size, large surface area, modifiable surface, and easy recovery. In this study, various γ‐Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles with immobilized proteases were successfully prepared by three different immobilization strategies including A) direct binding, B) with thiophene as a linker, and C) with triazole as a linker. The oligopeptides syntheses catalyzed by these magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with immobilized proteases were systematically studied. Our results show that i) for magnetic nanoparticles immobilized α‐chymotrypsin, both immobilization strategies A and B furnished good reusability for the Z‐Tyr‐Gly‐Gly‐OEt synthesis, the MNPs enzymes can be readily used at least five times without significant loss of its catalytic performance: ii) In the case of Z‐Asp‐Phe‐OMe synthesis catalyzed by magnetic nanoparticles immobilized thermolysin, immobilization Strategy B provided the best recyclability: iii) For the immobilized papain, although Strategy A or B afforded an immobilized enzyme for the first cycle of Z‐Ala‐Leu‐NHNHPh synthesis in good yield, their subsequent catalytic activity decreased rapidly. In general, the γ‐Fe₂O₃ MNPs were better for use as an immobilization matrix, rather than the Fe₃O₄ MNPs, owing to their smaller particle size and higher surface area.     

Calix[4]arene-based fluorescent probe and the adsorption capacity of its electrospun nanofibrous film for the cesium cation as an adsorbent

Calix[4]arene-based cation receptor 1 has been synthesised by following a multi-step synthetic procedure. The fluorescence properties of 1 upon the addition of various metal ions were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. As a result, it was revealed that 1 displayed dramatic quenching effect upon the exposure to Cs⁺. In contrast, no significant quenching effects were observed upon the addition of other metal ions such as Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ag⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ni²⁺. Compound 1 was also found by Job plot to form a 1:1 complex with Cs⁺. In addition, we also prepared 1-embedded electrospun nanofibrous film (NF-1) as an adsorbent for Cs⁺. NF-1 is proved to adsorb Cs⁺ effectively from an aqueous solution, indicating that it would be usefully utilised as an adsorbent to remove Cs⁺.

Covalent bonding of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles to aminopropyl‐functionalized magnesium phyllosilicate clay: Synthesis and cytotoxic potential investigation

Stable water dispersion of Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized by using 3‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and Mg‐phyllo (organo) silicate known as aminoclay (AC) containing pendant amino groups with the approximate composition (R₈Si₈Mg₆O₁₆(OH)₄, R = CH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂). The Fe₃O₄‐GPTMS magnetic NPs with an epoxy functional group are suitable for forming a covalent bond with the amine group of aminoclay in an epoxy ring opening reaction. Appropriate Fe₃O₄‐GPTMS‐aminoclay (FG‐AC) magnetic composite are promising carriers for the targeting and delivery of platinum‐based anticancer drugs. Analysis of the cytotoxicity of the nanostructures on a K562 leukemia cell line using a colorimetery assay shows that both the FG‐AC and cis‐platin/FG‐AC magnetic composite were biocompatible. The nanostructures characterizations were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis of X‐ray techniques. Magnetic measurement revealed that the saturated magnetization of the FG‐AC nanocomposite reached 7.6 emu/g and showed the characteristics of magnetism.     

Anchored Ni-dimethylglyoxime complex on Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles for the clean catalytical synthesis of dicoumarols

Ni-Dimethylglyoxime complex immobilized on functionalized Fe₃O₄ was synthesized by a post-grafting way and utilized as a novel, thermally stable, recoverable, and efficient for green synthesis of dicoumarols through reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with various aldehydes in excellent yields and higher rate. Fe₃O₄@SiO₂-silylcyclopropyl-dimethylglyoxime-Ni superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNP_s) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller technique. This nanocatalyst could be conveniently recovered via the use of an external magnetic field and reused for subsequent reactions for at least 7 times without any remarkable change and decrease in catalytic activity.     

Nitrogen‐Enriched Fe3O4@Carbon Nanospheres Derived from Fe3O4@3‐Aminophenol/Formaldehyde Resin Nanospheres Based on a Facile Hydrothermal Strategy: Towards a Robust Catalyst Scaffold for Platinum Nanocrystals

Robust nitrogen‐enriched Fe₃O₄@carbon nanospheres have been fabricated as a catalyst scaffold for Pt nanoparticles. In this work, core–shell Fe₃O₄@3‐aminophenol/formaldehyde (APF) nanocomposites were first synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, and subsequently carbonized to Fe₃O₄@N‐Carbon nanospheres for in situ growth of Pt nanocrystals. Abundant amine groups were distributed uniformly onto Fe₃O₄@N‐Carbon nanospheres, which not only improved the dispersity and stability of the Pt nanocrystals, but also endowed the Pt‐based catalysts with good compatibility in organic solvents. The dense three‐dimensional cross‐linked carbon shell protects the Fe₃O₄ cores against damage from harsh chemical environments, even in aqueous HCl (up to 1.0 m ) or NaOH (up to 1.0 m ) solutions under ultrasonication for 24 hours, which indicates that it can be used as a robust catalyst scaffold. In the reduction of nitrobenzene compounds, the Fe₃O₄@N‐Carbon@Pt nanocatalysts show outstanding catalytic activity, stability, and recoverability.     

Fe_3O_4@NiSiO_3对水中痕量微囊藻毒素的萃取

Controlled Synthesis of Fe3O4/ZIF‐8 Nanoparticles for Magnetically Separable Nanocatalysts

Fe₃O₄/ZIF‐8 nanoparticles were synthesized through a room‐temperature reaction between 2‐methylimidazolate and zinc nitrate in the presence of Fe₃O₄ nanocrystals. The particle size, surface charge, and magnetic loading can be conveniently controlled by the dosage of Zn(NO₃)₂ and Fe₃O₄ nanocrystals. The as‐prepared particles show both good thermal stability (stable to 550 °C) and large surface area (1174 m²g^?1). The nanoparticles also have a superparamagnetic response, so that they can strongly respond to an external field during magnetic separation and disperse back into the solution after withdrawal of the magnetic field. For the Knoevenagel reaction, which is catalyzed by alkaline active sites on external surface of catalyst, small Fe₃O₄/ZIF‐8 nanoparticles show a higher catalytic activity. At the same time, the nanocatalysts can be continuously used in multiple catalytic reactions through magnetic separation, activation, and redispersion with little loss of activity.     

Design and characterization of Fe3O4/GO/Au-Ag nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for the green synthesis of spirooxindole-dihydropyridines

A novel magnetic nanocomposite of Au-Ag nanoparticles anchored on Fe₃O₄/graphene oxide spheres (Fe₃O₄/GO/Au-Ag) was successfully fabricated by the layer-by-layer assembly technique. The prepared Fe₃O₄/GO/Au-Ag was fully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. This nanocomposite showed unique catalytic performance for the synthesis of Spiro[indoline-3,5′-pyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d’]dipyrimidine]-pentaone derivatives by the three-component condensation reaction of isatins, barbituric acids and 6-amino uracil at room temperature and in aqueous media. The significant advantages of this protocol include highly stable, easily separable and reusable catalyst, simple operation, environmental friendliness and excellent yields.

Fabrication of nanoporous nanocomposites entrapping Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and oxidases for colorimetric biosensing

A nanostructured multicatalyst system consisting of Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as peroxidase mimetics and an oxidative enzyme entrapped in large-pore-sized mesoporous silica has been developed for convenient colorimetric detection of biologically important target molecules. The construction of the nanocomposites begins with the incorporation of MNPs on the walls of mesocellular silica pores by impregnating Fe(NO(3))(3)·9H(2)O, followed by the immobilization of oxidative enzymes. Glutaraldehyde crosslinking was employed to prevent enzymes leaching from the pores and led to over 20 wt% loading of the enzyme. The oxidase in the nanocomposite generates H(2)O(2) through its catalytic action for target molecules and subsequently activates MNPs to convert selected substrates into colored products. Using this strategy, two different biosensing systems were constructed employing glucose oxidase and cholesterol oxidase and their analytical capabilities were successfully verified by colorimetrically detecting the corresponding target molecules with excellent selectivity, sensitivity, reusability, and stability. Future potential applications of this technology range from biosensors to multicatalyst reactors.     

Adsorptive removal of malachite green and Rhodamine B dyes on Fe3O4/activated carbon composite

This study demonstrates the adsorption experiments of toxic dyes malachite green (MG) and Rhodamine B (RB) on Fe₃O₄-loaded activated carbon (AC). AC, which is known to be a high-capacity adsorbent, was aimed to be easily separated from aqueous media by loading it with Fe₃O₄. Fe₃O₄-loaded AC was prepared by the coprecipitation method and named magnetic activated carbon (M-AC), and the produced M-AC was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and pH_pzc analyses. MG and RB adsorption by the M-AC was performed separately by batch technique and the effects of adsorbent amount, solution pH, and initial dye concentration on the adsorption were explored. Maximum removal efficiencies were found to be 96.11% for MG and 98.54% for RB, and the Langmuir isotherm model was the most fitted isotherm model for the adsorption. The kinetic and thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption proceeded via the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and endothermic in-nature for both dyes.     

Polystyrene/Fe3O4 composite latex via miniemulsion polymerization‐nucleation mechanism and morphology

In this research, oil‐based Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were prepared by means of coprecipitation method followed by a surface modification using lauric acid. Oil‐based Fe₃O₄ could disperse in styrene, and polystyrene/Fe₃O₄ (PS/Fe₃O₄) composite particles were prepared via miniemulsion polymerization in the presence of potassium peroxide (KPS) as an initiator, sodium dodecyl sulphate as a surfactant, hexadecane or sorbitan monolaurate(Span 20) as a costabilizer. The effects of Fe₃O₄ content, homogenization energy, amount of initiator, amount of surfactant and costabilizer on the conversion, size distributions of droplets and latex particles, nucleation mechanism and morphology of composite latex particles were investigated. The results showed that different nucleation mechanisms dominated during the course of reaction when polymerization conditions changed. The most important two key factors to influence the nucleation mechanism were homogenization energy and initiator. High homogenization energy provided critically stabilized size of droplets. Otherwise, secondary nucleation, including micellar and/or homogeneous nucleation, would take place rather than droplet nucleation when a water‐soluble initiator, KPS, was used. It resulted in two populations of latex particles, pure PS particles in smaller size and PS/Fe₃O₄ composite particles in larger size. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chemical synthesis of MnFe2O4/chitosan nanocomposites for controlled release of ofloxacin drug

In this study, we synthesized ofloxacin‐loaded MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) surface modified with chitosan (CS‐MnFe₂O₄) for prolonged antibiotic release in a controlled manner. It was found that the synthesized CS‐MnFe₂O₄ was spherical in shape with an average size of 30–50 nm, low aggregation, and good magnetic responsibility. An in vitro drug loading and release kinetics study reveals that the drug delivery system can take 86% of drug load and can release ofloxacin over a sustained period of 3 days. The release kinetics study reveals that the drug follows zero order kinetics and the mechanism of drug release is diffusion‐controlled type. These results indicated that CS‐MnFe₂O₄ NPs with pH‐sensitive properties can be used as candidates for intestinal targeted drug delivery through oral administration by avoiding the drug release in the highly acidic gastric fluid region of the stomach.     

Preparation and Characterization of Fe3O4/Ethiodized‐oil Magnetic Fluids Used in Arterial Embolization Hyperthermia

Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the co‐precipitation of Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ with ammonium hydroxide, and were modified by four different surfactants. The modified Fe₃O₄ NPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. Then, the modified Fe₃O₄ NPs were dispersed in ethiodized‐oil by mechanical agitation and ultrasonic vibration to obtain stable Fe₃O₄/ethiodized‐oil magnetic fluids (MFs). The magnetic properties and rheological properties of the MFs were measured using a Gouy magnetic balance and a rotational rheometer, respectively. The saturation magnetization of the Fe₃O₄ modified by oleic acid was 52.1 emu/g. Furthermore, the result showed that the inductive heating effect of oleic acid stabilized Fe₃O₄/ethiodized‐oil MF was remarkable and it only took 650 s for the temperature rising from 25°C to 65°C. The specific absorption rate of the MF was 50.16 W/(g of Fe). It had a potential application in arterial embolization hyperthermia.
