Tetracyclines (TCs) are the most widely used antibiotics for prevention and treatment of livestock diseases, but they toxic to humans have frequently been detected in water bodies. In this study, physical chemical properties zirconium-based metal organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 its NH2-functionalized congener UiO-66-NH2 were investigated along with batch TC adsorption tests determine effect func...

AIM To determine cytotoxicity and effect of silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on immune response, in particular lymphocyte proliferative activity, phagocytic activity, and leukocyte respiratory burst and in vitro production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and 8 (IL-8), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)....

CuAlS2  Chalcopyrite  nanocrystalline  are  synthesized  with  facile method.  The  heat  arrested  solvothermal  method  for  synthesize nanocrystalline  were  investigated.  The  time  duration  of  synthesis, temperature of solution and metal salts to solvent molar ratio can be parameters  that we are  studied. The nanoparticles were  synthesized with CuCl, AlCl3 and  thiourea (SC(NH2)2...

Nanoscale particles have become promising materials in many fields, such as cancer therapeutics, diagnosis, imaging, drug delivery, catalysis, as well as biosensors. In order to stimulate and facilitate these applications, there is an urgent need for the understanding of the interaction mode between the nano-particles and proteins. In this study, we investigate the orientation and adsorption be...

PURPOSE To achieve simultaneous imaging and therapy potentials, targeted fluoromagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and examined in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. METHODS Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3. Then, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) modified by dopamine-poly ethylene glycol (PEG)-NH2; finally, half equivalent fluorescein isothi...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are known as carriers with high loading capacity and large functionalizable surface area for target-directed delivery. In this study, a series of docetaxel-loaded folic acid- or methionine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DTX/MSN-FA or DTX/MSN-Met) with large pores and amine groups at inner pore surface properties were prepared. The results ...

Copper and hexavalent chromium are heavy metals that are harmful to human health. Natural adsorbent chitosan, due to its considerable properties such as the presence of functional groups of –NH2 and -OH, non-toxicity, low cost, and biocompatibility, has gained much attention in pollutant removal. Therefore, in the present study, adsorption of chromium (VI) and copper (II) ions was conducted in ...

Functionalizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with amines is a commonly used strategy to enhance their performance in CO2 capture applications. As such, this work, two-step covalently functionalize NH2-containing MOFs short chain polyamines was developed. In the first step, parent MOF, Zn4O(NH2-BDC)3, exposed bromoacetyl bromide (BrAcBr), which readily reacts pendant -NH2 groups on 2-amino-1,...

With the aim to find suitable hydrogen storage materials for stationary and mobile applications, multi-cation amide-based systems have attracted considerable attention, due their unique hydrogenation kinetics. In this work, AmZn(NH2)n (with A = Li, K, Na, Rb) were synthesized via an ammonothermal method. The phases mixed ball milling with LiH form AmZn(NH2)n-2nLiH m 2, 4 n 4, 6), as well Na2Zn(...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) affects lipid, bone and glucose homeostasis. High-affinity ligands for the GIP receptor are needed to elucidate the physiological functions and pharmacological potential of GIP in vivo. GIP(1-30)NH2 is a naturally occurring truncation of GIP(1-42). Here, we have characterized eight N-terminal truncations of human GIP(1-30...
