Mechanochemical green synthesis of hyper-crosslinked cyclodextrin polymers.

Project description:Cyclodextrin nanosponges (CD-NS) are nanostructured crosslinked polymers made up of cyclodextrins. The reactive hydroxy groups of CDs allow them to act as multifunctional monomers capable of crosslinking to bi- or multifunctional chemicals. The most common NS synthetic pathway consists in dissolving the chosen CD and an appropriate crosslinker in organic polar aprotic liquids (e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide), which affect the final result, especially for potential biomedical applications. This article describes a new, green synthetic pathway through mechanochemistry, in particular via ball milling and using 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole as the crosslinker. The polymer obtained exhibited the same characteristics as a CD-based carbonate NS synthesized in a solvent. Moreover, after the synthesis, the polymer was easily functionalized through the reaction of the nucleophilic carboxylic group with three different organic dyes (fluorescein, methyl red, and rhodamine B) and the still reactive imidazoyl carbonyl group of the NS.

Green Synthesis of Indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalines Using β-Cyclodextrin as Catalyst.

Project description:An efficient, mild, and green method was developed for the synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline derivatives via o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and 2-indanone derivatives utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as the supramolecular catalyst. The reaction can be carried out in water and in a solid state at room temperature. β-CD can also catalyze the reaction of indan-1,2-dione with OPD with a high degree of efficiency. Compared to the reported methods, this procedure is milder, simpler, and less toxic, making it an eco-friendly alternative. In addition, the β-CD can be recovered and reused without the loss of activity.

Silica Nanoparticles for Intracellular Protein Delivery: a Novel Synthesis Approach Using Green Fluorescent Protein.

Project description:In this study, a novel approach for preparation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-doped silica nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution is presented. GFP was chosen as a model protein due to its autofluorescence. Protein-doped nanoparticles have a high application potential in the field of intracellular protein delivery. In addition, fluorescently labelled particles can be used for bioimaging. The size of these protein-doped nanoparticles was adjusted from 15 to 35 nm using a multistep synthesis process, comprising the particle core synthesis followed by shell regrowth steps. GFP was selectively incorporated into the silica matrix of either the core or the shell or both by a one-pot reaction. The obtained nanoparticles were characterised by determination of particle size, hydrodynamic diameter, ζ-potential, fluorescence and quantum yield. The measurements showed that the fluorescence of GFP was maintained during particle synthesis. Cellular uptake experiments demonstrated that the GFP-doped nanoparticles can be used as stable and effective fluorescent probes. The study reveals the potential of the chosen approach for incorporation of functional biological macromolecules into silica nanoparticles, which opens novel application fields like intracellular protein delivery.

Ultrasound for Drug Synthesis: A Green Approach.

Project description:This last century, the development of new medicinal molecules represents a real breakthrough in terms of humans and animal life expectancy and quality of life. However, this success is tainted by negative environmental consequences. Indeed, the synthesis of drug candidates requires the use of many chemicals, solvents, and processes that are very hazardous, toxic, energy consuming, expensive, and generates a large amount of waste. Many large pharmaceutical companies have thus moved to using green chemistry practices for drug discovery, development, and manufacturing. One of them is the use of energy-efficient activation techniques, such as ultrasound. This review summarizes the latest most representative works published on the use of ultrasound for sustainable bioactive molecules synthesis.

Enabling technologies and green processes in cyclodextrin chemistry.

Project description:The design of efficient synthetic green strategies for the selective modification of cyclodextrins (CDs) is still a challenging task. Outstanding results have been achieved in recent years by means of so-called enabling technologies, such as microwaves, ultrasound and ball mills, that have become irreplaceable tools in the synthesis of CD derivatives. Several examples of sonochemical selective modification of native α-, β- and γ-CDs have been reported including heterogeneous phase Pd- and Cu-catalysed hydrogenations and couplings. Microwave irradiation has emerged as the technique of choice for the production of highly substituted CD derivatives, CD grafted materials and polymers. Mechanochemical methods have successfully furnished greener, solvent-free syntheses and efficient complexation, while flow microreactors may well improve the repeatability and optimization of critical synthetic protocols.

Sustained-Release Microspheres of Cyclodextrin-Resveratrol Complex Using Fenugreek Galactomannan Hydrogels: A Green Approach to Phytonutrient Delivery.

Project description:Food matrices are becoming increasingly complex with the impregnation of phytonutrients with health-beneficial pharmacological effects. Herein, we report the preparation, characterization, and functional application of soluble and stable microspheres of trans-resveratrol (t-RES) developed through a water-based green process involving cyclodextrin (CD) and fenugreek galactomannan (FG). Spectroscopic and thermodynamic calculations identified γ-CD as the best CD to form a stable cyclodextrin-resveratrol inclusion complex (CD-R, 49-fold enhanced solubility); however, it exhibited a burst release profile. The sustained release of resveratrol was achieved by further encapsulating the inclusion complex within the fenugreek galactomannan hydrogel scaffold by a gel-phase dispersion process, resulting in an amorphous powder (FG-CD-R) as evident from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies confirmed the formation of the inclusion complex with no chemical alterations. When dissolved in water, FG-CD-R swelled and released stable cuboid structures with an average particle size of 500 ± 53 nm with a zeta potential of -52 ± 5.3 mV. FG-CD-R demonstrated a sustained-release profile upon in vitro release studies. Accelerated study demonstrated its stability for a shelf-life of two years. Further it was shown to be suitable for the preparation of transparent gummies with improved sensory attributes compared to unformulated t-RES. In summary, FG-CD-R is simple to prepare and easily scalable, providing a sustained-release t-RES with a natural, food-grade, and clean label status (non-genetically modified, allergen-free, vegan, and free from residual solvents) for nutritional applications.

Synthesis of novel perillyl-dihydropyrimidinone hybrids designed for antiproliferative activity.

Project description:A series of fifteen novel dihydropyrimidinone hybrid compounds were synthesized in good yields via a multicomponent reaction combined with the Huisgen reaction. The antiproliferative activity was investigated against nine tumor cell lines, and four hybrid compounds (TGI < 10 μM) showed promising antiproliferative activity against the tumor cell lines OVCAR-3 (ovarian), UACC-62 (melanoma) and U251 (glioma). Several hybrid compounds assayed have high TGI values (TGI 147.92-507.82) for the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCat), which reveals selectivity to cancer cells.

Tarantula toxins interact with voltage sensors within lipid membranes.

Project description:Voltage-activated ion channels are essential for electrical signaling, yet the mechanism of voltage sensing remains under intense investigation. The voltage-sensor paddle is a crucial structural motif in voltage-activated potassium (K(v)) channels that has been proposed to move at the protein-lipid interface in response to changes in membrane voltage. Here we explore whether tarantula toxins like hanatoxin and SGTx1 inhibit K(v) channels by interacting with paddle motifs within the membrane. We find that these toxins can partition into membranes under physiologically relevant conditions, but that the toxin-membrane interaction is not sufficient to inhibit K(v) channels. From mutagenesis studies we identify regions of the toxin involved in binding to the paddle motif, and those important for interacting with membranes. Modification of membranes with sphingomyelinase D dramatically alters the stability of the toxin-channel complex, suggesting that tarantula toxins interact with paddle motifs within the membrane and that they are sensitive detectors of lipid-channel interactions.

Microwave-Induced Synthesis of Chitosan Schiff Bases and Their Application as Novel and Green Corrosion Inhibitors: Experimental and Theoretical Approach.

Project description:Environmentally friendly three chitosan Schiff bases (CSBs) were first time synthesized under microwave irradiation by the reaction of chitosan and aldehydes [benzaldehyde (CSB-1), 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (CSB-2), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (CSB-3)] and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition performance of the synthesized inhibitors was studied by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). The results show that all the Schiff bases (CSBs) act as effective corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution. Among the synthesized Schiff bases, CSB-3 exhibited the maximum inhibition efficiency of 90.65% at a very low concentration of 50 ppm. The EIS results showed that the CSBs inhibit corrosion by the adsorption mechanism. The PDP results show that all the three Schiff bases are mixed-type inhibitors. The formation of inhibitor films on the mild steel surface was supported by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy methods. The adsorption of CSBs on the mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The theoretical studies via density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation corroborated the experimental results.

A green approach to the synthesis of novel "Desert rose stone"-like nanobiocatalytic system with excellent enzyme activity and stability.

Project description:3D hierarchical layer double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted extensive interest due to their unique electronic and catalytic properties. Unfortunately, the existing preparation methods require high temperature or toxic organic compounds, which limits the applications of the 3D hierarchical LDHs in biocatalysis and biomedicine. Herein, we present a green strategy to synthesize "Desert Rose Stone"-like Mg-Al-CO₃ LDH nanoflowers in situ deposited on aluminum substrates via a coprecipitation method using atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using this method, we construct a novel "Desert Rose Stone"-like nanobiocatalytic system by using HRP as the model enzyme. Compared with the free HRP, the HRP/Mg-Al-LDH nanobiocatalytic system exhibits higher catalytic activity and stability. A smaller apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (0.16 mM) of this system suggests that the encapsulated HRP shows higher affinity towards H₂O₂.
