Synthesis of Bioactive Chlorogenic Acid-Silica Hybrid Materials via the Sol-Gel Route and Evaluation of Their Biocompatibility.

ABSTRACT: Natural phenol compounds are gaining a great deal of attention because of their potential use as prophylactic and therapeutic agents in many diseases, as well as in applied science for their preventing role in oxidation deterioration. With the aim to synthetize new phenol-based materials, the sol-gel method was used to embed different content of the phenolic antioxidant chlorogenic acid (CGA) within silica matrices to obtain organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements were used to characterize the prepared materials. The new materials were screened for their bioactivity and antioxidant potential. To this latter purpose, direct DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic acid) methods were applied: radical scavenging capability appeared strongly dependent on the phenol amount in investigated hybrids, and became pronounced, mainly toward the ABTS radical cation, when materials with CGA content equal to 15 wt% and 20 wt% were analyzed. The in vitro biocompatibility of the synthetized materials was estimated by using the MTT assay towards fibroblast NIH 3T3 cells, human keratinocyte HaCaT cells, and the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. As cell viability and morphology of tested cell lines seemed to be unaffected by new materials, the attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR method was applied to deeply measure the effects of the hybrids in the three different cell lines.

Silica/Polyethylene Glycol Hybrid Materials Prepared by a Sol-Gel Method and Containing Chlorogenic Acid.

Project description:Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a very common dietary polyphenolic compound. CGA is becoming very attractive due to its potential use as preventive and therapeutic agent in many diseases, including cancer. Inorganic/organic hybrid materials are gaining considerable attention in the biomedical field. The sol-gel process provides a useful way to obtain functional organic/inorganic hybrids. The aim of this study was to synthesize silica/polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrids with different percentages of CGA by sol-gel technique and to investigate their impact on the cancer cell proliferation. Synthesized materials have been chemically characterized through the FTIR spectroscopy and their bioactivity evaluated looking by SEM at their ability to produce a hydroxyapatite layer on their surface upon incubation with simulated body fluid (SBF). Finally, their effects on cell proliferation were studied in cell lines by direct cell number counting, MTT, flow cytometry-based cell-cycle and cell death assays, and immunoblotting experiments. Notably, we found that SiO?/PEG/CGA hybrids exhibit clear antiproliferative effects in different tumor, including breast cancer and osteosarcoma, cell lines in a CGA dependent manner, but not in normal cells. Overall, our results increase the evidence of CGA as a possible anticancer agent and illustrate the potential for clinical applications of sol-gel synthesized SiO?/PEG/CGA materials.

Dendrimer-Functionalized Hybrid Materials Based on Silica as Novel Carriers of Bioactive Acids.

Project description:One of the major goals in the materials science is the design and development of non-toxic, versatile, and efficient drug delivery systems. The study reported in this paper concerns the syntheses of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine as an amine core and different terminal amines, and their attachment to silica matrix. The obtained ethylenediamine (EDA), triethylenetetramine (TETA), tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) and 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TRI-OXA) dendrimers were introduced to the support surface via an epoxy linker, leading to a loading efficiency in the range of 0.054-0.113 mmol g-1, determined using elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. The materials exhibited high adsorption capacities towards the chosen model drugs: folic, salicylic and nicotinic acid. The investigated adsorption processes were found to follow the Freundlich isotherm model, with indication of the drugs' structure influence on the binding efficiency. Drug-loaded hybrid materials were also described for in vitro drug release in three pH-different paraphysiological media. The highest percentage release was obtained in the tests performed at pH 2.0, ranging between 35.42 and 99.83%. Satisfactory results and the versatility of PAMAM dendrimers may lead to the application of such materials not only as drug carriers dedicated to a wide range of pharmaceutics, but also as analytical tools for pre-concentration and/or the determination of biocompound contamination in samples.

NIR-Fluorescent Hybrid Materials of Tm3+ Complexes Carried by Nano-SiO2 via Improved Sol-Gel Method.

Project description:Tm3+ has obvious emission characteristics in the near-infrared band. Thulium ions combined with different organic ligands lead to different fluorescent properties. In the near-infrared region, Tm3+ is a down-conversion fluorescent material that is unstable under high temperature and acidic conditions. Moreover, in those complex environments, the fluorescence from Tm3+ complex is usually degraded. In this work, two kinds of near-infrared fluorescent complexes, Tm(TTA)3phen and Tm(DBM)3phen, were prepared, and the intensity of their fluorescence is compared. The fluorescence intensity at 802 nm is greatly improved compared with Tm(TTA)3phen, and the intensity of the emission at 1235 nm and 1400-1500 nm is also enhanced. Moreover, the emission lifetime of SiO2-Tm(TTA)3phen is 50.38 μs. Tm(TTA)3phen complex and SiO2-Tm(TTA)3phen hybrid materials have better fluorescence than Tm(DBM)3phen and SiO2-Tm(DBM)3phen. Therefore, HTTA is a better choice of organic ligands for Tm3+. The NIR-fluorescent hybrid materials prepared have stronger fluorescence after combining with nano-SiO2compared with pure Tm3+ complexes, and have stronger structural stability compared with pure nano-SiO2.

Experimental data of inorganic gel based smart window using silica sol-gel process.

Project description:In this article experimental data are presented for inorganic gel based smart window fabricated using silica sol-gel process. Parallel beam transmittances were measured as functions of voltages for samples fabricated with different concentrations of nitric acid. Spectroscopic transmittance data at different driving voltages for samples fabricated with different LC concentrations are shown. Transmittance spectra of the Si-Ti based gel-based-liquid-crystal (GDLC) device measured as different driving voltages were compared with those of PDLC. GDLC showed much lower operating voltages, 10-15 V, for on-state. Formation of the LC droplet in gelation process is illustrated. The methyl organic group surrounds LC droplets. Demonstration of GDLC based smart window showed the successful operation with low driving voltages. GDLC window shows clear color, even at off-state, compared with PDLC.

Development of Efficient One-Pot Methods for the Synthesis of Luminescent Dyes and Sol-Gel Hybrid Materials.

Project description:This paper presents a comparison of the simultaneous preparation of di-O-alkylated and ether-ester derivatives of fluorescein using different methods (conventional or microwave heating). Shortening of the reaction time and increased efficiency were observed when using a microwave reactor. Moreover, described here for the first time is the application of a fast, simple, and eco-friendly ball-assisted method to exclusively obtain ether-ester derivatives. We also demonstrate that fluorescein can be effectively functionalized by O-alkylation carried out under microwave or ball-milling conditions, saving time and energy and affording the desired products with good yields and minimal byproduct formation. All the synthesized products as well as pH-dependent (prototropic) forms trapped in the SiO2 matrix were examined using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Novel sol-gel precursors for thin mesoporous eu(3+)-doped silica coatings as efficient luminescent materials.

Project description:Europium(III) ions containing mesoporous silica coatings have been prepared via a solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) approach of different single-source precursors (SSPs) in the presence of Pluronic P123 as a structure-directing agent, using the spin-coating process. A deliberate tailoring of the chemical composition of the porous coatings with various Si:Eu ratios was achieved by processing mixtures of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and Eu(3+)-coordinated SSPs. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses demonstrate that the thin metal oxide-doped silica coatings consist of a porous network with a short-range order of the pore structure, even at high europium(III) loadings. Furthermore, luminescence properties were investigated at different temperatures and different degrees of Eu(3+) contents. The photoluminescence spectra clearly show characteristic emission peaks corresponding to the (5)D0 → (7)FJ (J = 0-5) transitions resulting in a red luminescence visible by the eyes, although the films have a very low thickness (150-200 nm).

Study of Different Sol-Gel Coatings to Enhance the Lifetime of PDMS Devices: Evaluation of Their Biocompatibility.

Project description:A study of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) sol-gel-coated channels fabricated using soft lithography and a laser direct writing technique is presented. PDMS is a biocompatible material that presents a high versatility to reproduce several structures. It is widely employed in the fabrication of preclinical devices due to its advantages but it presents a rapid chemical deterioration to organic solvents. The use of sol-gel layers to cover the PDMS overcomes this problem since it provides the robustness of glass for the structures made with PDMS, decreasing its deterioration and changing the biocompatibility of the surface. In this work, PDMS channels are coated with three different kinds of sol-gel compositions (60MTES/40TEOS, 70MTES/30TISP and 80MTES/20TISP). The endothelial cell adhesion to the different coated devices is evaluated in order to determine the most suitable sol-gel preparation conditions to enhance cellular adhesion.

Fast nucleation for silica nanoparticle synthesis using a sol-gel method.

Project description:We have developed a method that for the first time allowed us to synthesize silica particles in 20 minutes using a sol-gel preparation. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the synthesis mechanism and kinetic behavior in order to achieve a higher degree of fine tuning ability during the synthesis. In this study, we have employed our ability to modulate the physical nature of the reaction medium from sol-gel to emulsion, which has allowed us to halt the reaction at a particular time; this has allowed us to precisely understand the mechanism and chemistry of the silica polymerization. The synthesis medium is kept quite simple with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor in an equi-volumetric ethanol-water system and with sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. Synthesis is performed under ambient conditions at 20 °C for 20 minutes followed by phasing out of any unreacted TEOS and polysilicic acid chains via their emulsification with supersaturated water. We have also demonstrated that the developed particles with various sizes can be used as seeds for further particle growth and other applications. Luminol, a chemiluminescent molecule, has been entrapped successfully between the layers of silica and was demonstrated for the chemiluminescence of these particles.

Affinity of Electrochemically Deposited Sol⁻Gel Silica Films towards Catecholamine Neurotransmitters.

Project description:Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine neurotransmitters can be detected by electrochemical oxidation in conventional electrodes. However, their similar chemical structure and electrochemical behavior makes a difficult selective analysis. In the present work, glassy carbon electrodes have been modified with silica layers, which were prepared by electroassisted deposition of sol⁻gel precursors. These layers were morphologically and compositionally characterized using different techniques, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), TEM, FTIR, or thermogravimetric analysis⁻mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The affinity of silica for neurotransmitters was evaluated, exclusively, by means of electrochemical methods. It was demonstrated that silica adsorbs dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, showing different interaction with silica pores. The adsorption process is dominated by a hydrogen bond between silanol groups located at the silica surface and the amine groups of neurotransmitters. Because of the different interaction with neurotransmitters, electrodes modified with silica films could be used in electrochemical sensors for the selective detection of such molecules.

Glycopolymer Grafted Silica Gel as Chromatographic Packing Materials.

Project description:The modification of the surface of silica gel to prepare hydrophilic chromatographic fillers has recently become a research interest. Most researchers have grafted natural sugar-containing polymers onto chromatographic surfaces. The disadvantage of this approach is that the packing structure is singular and the application scope is limited. In this paper, we explore the innovative technique of grafting a sugar-containing polymer, 2-gluconamidoethyl methacrylamide (GAEMA), onto the surface of silica gel by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The SiO?-g-GAEMA with ATRP reaction time was characterized by Fourier infrared analysis, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and elemental analysis. As the reaction time lengthened, the amount of GAEMA grafted on the surface of the silica gel gradually increased. The GAEMA is rich in amide bonds and hydroxyl groups and is a typical hydrophilic chromatography filler. Finally, SiO?-g-GAEMA (reaction time = 24 h) was chosen as the stationary phase of the chromatographic packing and evaluated with four polar compounds (uracil, cytosine, guanosine, and cytidine). Compared with unmodified silica gel, modified silica gel produces sharper peaks and better separation efficiency. This novel packing material may have a potential for application with highly isomerized sugar mixtures.
