The aim of this research was to increase the oral bioavailability of daidzein by the formulations of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with daidzein. Amongst the various traditional and novel techniques of preparing daidzein-loaded PLGA nanoparticles, daidzein-loaded phospholipid complexes PLGA nanoparticles and daidzein-loaded cyclodextrin inclusion complexes PLGA nanop...

We used an aqueous leaf extract of Memecylon edule (Melastomataceae) to synthesize silver and gold nanoparticles. To our knowledge, this is the first report where M. edule leaf broth was found to be a suitable plant source for the green synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles. On treatment of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and chloroauric acid with M. edule leaf extract, stable silver a...

The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles on embryonic development following oocyte stage exposure are unknown and the underlying mechanisms are sparsely understood. In the current investigation, intact nanoparticles were detected in ovarian tissue in vivo and cultured cells in vitro under zinc oxide nanoparticles treatment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure during the oocyte stage inhibited embr...

Normal micelle microemulsion method was utilized for fabrication of organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles. The void and dye-doped nanoparticles were synthesized in nonpolar core of two different surfactants including Aerosol OT and Tween 80. The nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analysis. Our resul...

BACKGROUND Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (SI) in T1-weighted MR images. METHODS Diffe...

Herein we examined the toxicity, penetration properties and ability of Fe2O3·nH2O magnetic nanoparticles extracted from silt of the Borovoye Lake (Krasnoyarsk, Russia) to bind an antibiotic. Experimental studies were carried out using magnetic nanoparticles alone and after antibiotic exposure in tissue samples from nasal mucosa, cartilage and bone (in vitro). Toxicity of particles was studied i...

the development of the eco friendly procedures makes nanoparticles as the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. amongst, the silver nanoparticles have become prominent in the field of medicine to their peculiar antimicrobial properties. in the present study we suggest an eco friendly procedure of extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles with an average sizes of 5-50nm using an actinom...

We report a new NMR relaxation time-based method for sensitive and selective dopamine detection using paramagnetic nanoparticles. The Fe(3+) species in the nanoparticles serves as both the contrast agent and the target recognition element. The results demonstrate that paramagnetic nanoparticles, similar to the more widely used superparamagnetic nanoparticles, can be integrated into relaxation b...

In this paper, we report on the interaction of multifunctional nanoparticles with living endothelial cells. The nanoparticles were synthesized using direct growth of gallium nitride on zinc oxide nanoparticles alloyed with iron oxide followed by core decomposition in hydrogen flow at high temperature. Using transmission electron microscopy, we demonstrate that porcine aortic endothelial cells t...

Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles might be important in biomedical applications. Solanum torvum extract when challenged with chloroauric acid leads to formation of gold nanoparticles. The formations of gold nanoparticles were studied by UV-vis spectra and their size of gold nanoparticles in the colloidal solutions was investigated by ...
