COLLOIDAL silver ,POISONS ,SILVER nanoparticles ,TRANSMISSION electron microscopy ,SCANNING electron microscopy - Abstract
The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be developed using safe and environmentally friendly routes, can replace potentially toxic chemical methods, and can increase the scale of production. This study aimed to synthesize AgNPs from aqueous extracts of guarana (Paullinia cupana) leaves and flowers, collected in different seasons of the year, as a source of active biomolecules capable of reducing silver ions (Ag
+ ) and promoting the stabilization of colloidal silver (Ag0 ). The plant aqueous extracts were characterized regarding their metabolic composition by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS), phenolic compound content, and antioxidant potential against free radicals. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV/Vis spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The results demonstrated that the chemical characterization indicated the presence of secondary metabolites of many classes of compounds in the studied aqueous extracts studied, but alkaloids and flavonoids were predominant, which are widely recognized for their antioxidant capabilities. It was possible to notice subtle changes in the properties of the nanostructures depending on parameters such as seasonality and the part of the plant used, with the AgNPs showing surface plasmon resonance bands between 410 and 420 nm using the leaf extract and between 440 and 460 nm when prepared using the flower extract. Overall, the average hydrodynamic diameters of the AgNPs were similar among the samples (61.98 to 101.6 nm). Polydispersity index remained in the range of 0.2 to 0.4, indicating that colloidal stability did not change with storage time. Zeta potential was above −30 mV after one month of analysis, which is adequate for biological applications. TEM images showed AgNPs with diameters between 40.72 to 48.85 nm and particles of different morphologies. EDX indicated silver content by weight between 24.06 and 28.81%. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited antimicrobial efficacy against various pathogenic microorganisms of clinical and environmental interest, with MIC values between 2.12 and 21.25 µg/mL, which is close to those described for MBC values. Therefore, our results revealed the potential use of a native species of plant from Brazilian biodiversity combined with nanotechnology to produce antimicrobial agents.

Particles composed of zinc oxides were prepared by changing the synthesis parameters in a glycerol-based solvent. By varying the mole ratio of zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide in a glycerol–urea solvent, unexpected Zn
5 (OH)8 (NO3 )2 ·2H2 O intermediate and ZnO wurtzite phases were identified at different percentages depending on the reactant stoichiometry and temperature. Exchanging urea for isopropanol, tetramethyl urea, dimethylurea, thiourea, and ammonia gas provided different resultant materials. Dimethylurea and tetramethyl urea led to ZnO nanoparticles though passing through the usual Zn(OH)2 intermediate, whereas thiourea formed only ZnS nanoparticles. Glycerol–isopropanol (GI) yielded ZnO nanoparticles with a small size distribution over a range of GI molar ratios. Bubbling ammonia into glycerol formed needle-shaped ZnO particles. These outcomes highlight the valuable synthetic potential of glycerol-based solvents that allow for highly efficient synthesis of tailored zinc-made particles with easy and mild work-up.

The present study carried out the characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) recovered from the biodegradation process of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/CNT nanocomposites and the use of this recovered CNT (CNT-rec) in the production of new PHBV nanocomposites. The results obtained by characterization of CNT-rec were very similar to the CNT. Therefore, it was possible to state that CNT properties were preserved during the biodegradation process; however, CNT-rec contained impurities such as proteins and residual PHBV. Regarding the performance as nanofillers, although both CNT and CNT-rec decreased the thermal stability of nanocomposites compared to neat PHBV, this effect was less intense in the CNT-rec nanocomposites. It is expected that both nanofillers acted as nucleating agents in the PHBV matrix crystallization process but with different effectiveness. There was no significant difference between the electrical conductivity comparing PHBV/CNT 2% and PHBV/CNT-rec 2% nanocomposites. Therefore, the recovery and use of CNT-rec is a feasible process.

Regardless of the promising use of nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedical applications, several toxic effects have increased the concerns about the safety of these nanomaterials. Although the pathways for NPs toxicity are diverse and dependent upon many parameters such as the nature of the nanoparticle and the biochemical environment, numerous studies have provided evidence that direct contact between NPs and biomolecules or cell membranes leads to cell inactivation or damage and may be a primary mechanism for cytotoxicity. In such a context, this work focused on developing a fast and accurate method to characterize the interaction between NPs, proteins and lipidic membranes by surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) technique. The interaction of gold NPs with mimetic membranes was evaluated by monitoring the variation of reflectivity after several consecutive gold NPs injections on the lipidic membranes prepared on the SPRi biochip. The interaction on the membranes with varied lipidic composition was compared regarding the total surface concentration density of gold NPs adsorbed on them. Then, the interaction of gold and silver NPs with blood proteins was analyzed regarding their kinetic profile of the association/dissociation and dissociation constants (k
off ). The surface concentration density on the membrane composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine and cholesterol (POPC/cholesterol) was 2.5 times higher than the value found after the injections of gold NPs on POPC only or with dimethyldioctadecylammonium (POPC/DDAB). Regarding the proteins, gold NPs showed preferential binding to fibrinogen resulting in a value of the variation of reflectivity that was 8 times higher than the value found for the other proteins. Differently, silver NPs showed similar interaction on all the tested proteins but with a variation of reflectivity on immunoglobulin G (IgG) 2 times higher than the value found for the other tested proteins.

NANORIBBONS ,MAGNESIUM oxide ,SONICATION ,COORDINATION polymers - Abstract
MgO nanoribbons were prepared by an innovative route from Mg(OH)
2 hydrogels. Such hydrogels were prepared without using any polymers or organic ligands as structuring agents, which is an advantage compared with the commonly used methods in this field. Furthermore, the as-prepared MgO ribbons stand out due to their ability to curl back on themselves under sonication forming spherical MgO nanoparticles. It is expected therefore that such MgO nanoribbons could be used to encapsulate drugs or molecules of interest when immersed in solution and subsequently submitted to ultrasonic stirring.

Tissue engineering has directed a lot of effort toward the development of devices with suitable biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Chitosan has been pointed as a valuable material to be applied in scaffolds due to its antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the low mechanical resistance associated with the requirement of toxic crosslinkers has hampered translational application of chitosan hydrogel. Herein, the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as crosslinker is reported as a great strategy to obtain chitosan hydrogel without using toxic reactants. In addition, the resultant chitosan hydrogel, crosslinked by AuNP of 30 nm (AuNP30), presented outstanding properties compared to chitosan hydrogel crosslinked by glutaraldehyde. Chitosan hydrogel crosslinked by AuNP30 presented lower porosity, which provided lower swelling degree and slower degradation rate. In addition, compressive strength was about two times higher than the chitosan hydrogel crosslinked by glutaraldehyde. The crosslink by AuNP30 also increased the biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Chitosan hydrogel crosslinked by AuNP30 did not show cytotoxicity against MEF cells, whereas cell viability of cells incubated with extract from chitosan hydrogel crosslinked by glutaraldehyde was only 41%. In conclusion, the results reported herein pointed that the use of AuNP30 as crosslinker agent provided to chitosan hydrogel enhanced properties that made it suitable to application in biomedical devices.

In this work, chitosan hydrogels crosslinked with genipin and reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were developed and characterized with the aim of future biomedical applications. CNC was produced by acid hydrolysis and characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Chitosan/CNC nanocomposite hydrogels were produced with different CNC concentrations (w/w): 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%. The genipin was used as a crosslinking agent in a genipin/chitosan molar proportion of 1:8. The hydrogels were characterized by porosity measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), swelling test, and mechanical compression test. No significant differences were observed concerning the porosity of the hydrogels; however, a trend of decreasing porosity was observed with increasing CNC content. The SEM images showed a better pore structure as the CNC concentration increased. A decrease in the swelling degree with increasing CNC content in the chitosan/CNC nanocomposite hydrogel was verified in the swelling tests. An increase in the CNC concentration in the chitosan/CNC nanocomposite hydrogel caused a gradual increase in the maximum stress and maximum strain as observed in the compression tests, showing a significant difference between chitosan/CNC 6 wt % and neat chitosan hydrogel.

Although several researchers had reported on methodologies for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal amplification based on the use of nanoparticles (NPs), the majority addressed the sandwich technique and low protein concentration. In this work, a different approach for SPR signal enhancement based on the use of gold NPs was evaluated. The method was used in the detection of two lectins, peanut agglutinin (PNA) and concanavalin A (ConA). Gold NPs were functionalized with antibodies anti-PNA and anti-ConA, and these NPs were used as protein scavengers in a solution. After being incubated with solutions of PNA or ConA, the gold NPs coupled with the collected lectins were injected on the sensor containing the immobilized antibodies. The signal amplification provided by this method was compared to the signal amplification provided by the direct coupling of PNA and ConA to gold NPs. Furthermore, both methods, direct coupling and gold NPs as protein scavengers, were compared to the direct detection of PNA and ConA in solution. Compared to the analysis of free protein, the direct coupling of PNA and ConA to gold NPs resulted in a signal amplification of 10-40-fold and a 13-fold decrease of the limit of detection (LOD), whereas the use of gold NPs as protein scavengers resulted in an SPR signal 40-50-times higher and an LOD 64-times lower.

- Abstract
Electroactive nanofibers based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(alkoxy anilines) produced by electrospinning has been explored for biomaterials applications. The thermoplastic polyurethane is a biocompatible polymer with good mechanical properties. The production of TPU nanofibers requires the application of high voltage during electrospinning in order to prepare uniform mats due to its weak ability to elongate during the process. To overcome this limitation, a conductive polymer can be incorporated to the process, allowing generates mats without defects. In this study, poly( o-ethoxyaniline) POEA doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was blended with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by solution method. Films were produced by casting and nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The effect of the POEA on morphology, distribution of diameter and cell viability of the nanofibers was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of POEA in TPU provided to the mats a suitable morphology for cellular growth. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (P-MWCNTs) were functionalized with carboxylic groups (MWCNT-COOH) through oxidation reactions and then reduced to produce hydroxyl groups (MWCNT-OH). Pristine and functionalized MWCNTs were used to produce poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanocomposites with 0.5 wt% of MWCNTs. MWCNT functionalization was verified by visual stability in water, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurements. Pristine and functionalized MWCNTs acted as the nucleating agent in a PHBV matrix, as verified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). However, the dispersion of filler into the matrix, thermal stability, and direct current (DC) conductivity were affected by MWCNT functionalization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that filler dispersion into the PHBV matrix was improved with MWCNT functionalization. The surface roughness was reduced with the addition and functionalization of MWCNT. The thermal stability of PHBV/MWCNT-COOH, PHBV/P-MWCNT, and PHBV/MWCNT-OH nanocomposites were 20, 30, and 30 °C higher than neat PHBV, respectively, as verified by thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). Addition of pristine and functionalized MWCNTs provided electrical conductivity in nanocomposite, which was higher for PHBV/P-MWCNTs (1.2 × 10−5 S cm−1). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
The early-stage diagnosis and monitoring of disease evolution is still one of the most challenging tasks in the field of cancer research. Several research have been driven toward the discovery of new cancer biomarkers as well as to the development of biosensors able to detect these biomarkers with high specificity and sensitivity. Many types of cancer have been detected at an advanced stage and, in particular, epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has a high incidence of diagnosis in the metastatic stage. This cancer is considered as the most aggressive type of gynecological cancer with a 5-year survival and until now, no specific biomarkers have been identified. Nevertheless, some studies have indicated that mesothelin, a protein overexpressed by tumour cells in the ovary, interacts with the CA-125 biomarker present in the blood system accelerating the metastatic process. Therefore, the simultaneous presence of CA-125 and mesothelin in the blood during the evolution of EOC could be used to diagnose this disease before the metastasis. Therefore, with this motivation, this work aimed at the development of a biosensor capable of simultaneously detecting mesothelin and CA-125 at low concentrations. A biosensor based on the surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) technique was developed and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used in order to enhance the sensitivity. The study analysed successive injections of the biomarkers CA-125 and mesothelin, both in solution (analytical range of 9–120 nM). The limits of detection were obtained for CA-125 and mesothelin, being of 3.03 nM and 13.62 nM, respectively. The biosensor detected mesothelin at a concentration close to the cutoff point for EOC (3 nM) and was able to detect the biomarker CA-125 at 9 nM. Furthermore, the biosensor interacted preferentially and simultaneously with the biomarkers CA-125 and mesothelin incubated in fetal bovine serum. Finally, the use of AuNPs increased the sensor signal for CA-125 detection compared to its direct detection and showed greater selectivity for both biomarkers. Therefore, the biosensor has important characteristics that allow testing with real samples. In a future project, it could be applied in the research of diagnosis and prognosis of EOC.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Embora a terapia fotodinâmica do câncer seja continuamente aprimorada, sua eficiência ainda assim é limitada já que grande parte dos fotossensibilizadores utilizados sofrem agregação e/ou desativação por ação de biomoléculas presentes no organismo. Nesse sentido, a associação dos fotossensibilizadores a nanopartículas pode ser uma ferramenta promissora para superar essas limitações, proporcionando a modulação da fluorescência dos fotossensibilizadores, além de aumentar sua seletividade tumoral e consequentemente sua fotoatividade. Sendo assim, nesta tese foram investigadas as propriedades fotofísicas, fotoquímicas e a citotoxicidade de nanopartículas metálicas e bimetálicas com diferentes fotossensibilizadores. Dentre as plataformas investigadas, os sistemas de nanopartículas de ouro e nanopartículas de ouro-platina conjugadas com clorina-SH demonstraram ser os mais promissores. Os resultados mostraram que ambas as plataformas promoveram a solubilidade da clorina-SH em água, sendo uma propriedade importante em aplicações biológicas. Apesar do aumento da fotoatividade promovido por ambas as nanopartículas em comparação com a clorina-SH em solução, as NPs de ouro-platina conjugadas com clorina-SH se mostraram como uma plataforma mais adequada para aplicação da terapia fotodinâmica, pois foi observada menor citotoxicidade na ausência de irradiação, além de maior geração de oxigênio singlete e maior internalização celular em comparação com as nanopartículas de ouro conjugadas com clorina-SH. É importante destacar que este é o primeiro trabalho relatando o aumento da fotoatividade de um fotossensibilizador por meio de sua conjugação com as nanopartículas de ouro-platina. 2018/22890-1

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Uma importante área da Engenharia de materiais é o desenvolvimento de biomateriais aplicados a área da saúde. Um biomaterial que vem sendo muito estudado é o scaffolds, estrutura tridimensional semelhante ao tecido ósseo natural, cuja função é auxiliar esse tecido a se regenerar em caso de fraturas. O interesse na área se dá principalmente pela grande quantidade de casos de fraturas ósseas causadas por acidentes e fraturas patológicas como a osteoporose. O desenvolvimento dos scaffolds tem sido focado não apenas no reparo das fraturas, mas também em problemas associados a infecções causadas por agentes infecciosos ao tecido ósseo, que são recorrentes, seja por contato direto ou pela corrente sanguínea, como a osteomielite. Estudou-se scaffolds de vitrocerâmicas derivados de biovidro 45S5 e de cimento de wollastonita com 1% de NCC, ambos, com boas propriedades de interação com os tecidos vivos, como já relatados na literatura, recobertos com NPs de propriedades antibacterianas. O objetivo foi obter um scaffold promissor para recuperação de tecidos ósseos, sendo biocompatível, bioativo e biodegradável, favorecendo a regeneração do tecido e evitando doenças infecciosas como a osteomielite. As NPs foram estudadas quanto à biocompatibilidade, bioatividade e ação antimicrobiana. Os scaffolds de vitrocerâmicas foram produzidos pelo método de gelcasting e impressão 3D, os scaffolds de cimento de wollastonita por sol-gel e foram caracterizados por DRX, MEV, densidade, porosidade, bioatividade e ação antimicrobiana. Os scaffolds de vitrocerâmicas foram citotóxicos para o crescimento celular, porém demonstraram excelente atividade antimicrobiana. As CuO B NPs, apresentaram boa inibição no crescimento de bactérias e foram selecionadas para recobrir o scaffold de cimento de wollastonita que inicialmente apresentou inibição do crescimento celular, porém, após um período de 4 dias às células começaram a se aderir e crescer no material. Esse resultado é interessante para a aplicação do material em regeneração tecidual, pois indica que nos primeiros dias em contato com o meio biológico pode haver a inibição de crescimento de E. coli e S. aureus, o que evitaria complicações pós-cirúrgicas, e em seguida, seria iniciada a fase de regeneração do tecido.

Não recebi financiamento Dentre as inúmeras nanopartículas que demonstram efeito antimicrobiano, os nanodiamantes (NDs) são materiais promissores para aplicação na área biomédica, devido à estabilidade coloidal, sendo considerados biocompatíveis. O presente trabalho visou a utilização de filme residual de diamante-CVD, crescidos por deposição química na fase vapor assistido por filamento quente, para a obtenção de suspensões aquosas de NDCVD por diferentes metodologias. Também foram empregadas técnicas de funcionalizações superficiais dos NDCVD, bem como de ND de detonação (NDD), para a conjugação de fotossensibilizadores (FSs), permitindo a avaliação da aplicação como materiais antimicrobianos por meio da terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana (aPDT). Dentre as metodologias empregadas para a obtenção dos NDCVD, um destaque foi dado à técnica de maceração seguida de cavitação ultrassônica, devido a obtenção de NDs com pequenos tamanhos e facilidade de operação do equipamento. Visando a funcionalização da superfície, foram realizadas hidrogenação por plasma de H2 (ND-HCVD) e fotofuncionalização com grupo carboxilado (ND-COOHCVD-(UV)), originando suspensões aquosas de diâmetro hidrodinâmico na faixa de 50-70 nm. Também foi realizada funcionalização não covalente com porfirina mTHPP, com potencial para aplicação em aPDT. Os estudos foram estendidos para a modificação superficial de ND de detonação, originando superfície carboxilada, aminada e hidroxilada a partir de metodologias com vantagens relacionadas à redução do tempo de conversão e eliminação de etapas adicionais, comparadas a processos já relatados. Nanoconjugados com os FSs mTHPP e PHOTOGEM® foram obtidos com sucesso, utilizando via química e enzimática para a formação de ligação covalente do tipo éster. A eficácia na obtenção dos NDs e funcionalização superficial, puderam ser comprovadas por diversas técnicas de caracterização, como: espalhamento de luz dinâmico, difração de raio-x, microscopia eletrônica de transmissão e espectroscopias: Raman, infravermelho, absorção e fluorescência. Também foram realizados ensaios de citotoxicidade em células não tumorais (MEF), avaliação da atividade antitumoral in vitro (B16F10-Nex2) e potencial antibacteriano dos NDs. Os estudos in vitro, não mostraram citotoxicidade a células MEF após etapas de purificações e funcionalização, no entanto o ND-HCVD, NDD-COOH, NDD-NH2 e o nanoconjugado NDCVD+mTHPP, demonstraram citotoxicidade a células tumorais. Para os ensaios de avaliação da atividade antibacteriana, uma maior ação foi observada com os NDCVD, frente à cultura de E. coli (20 %) em comparação à S. aureus (12 %) após 24 h de incubação. Para os NDD-COOH, resultados de inibição semelhantes foram obtidos nas mesmas condições. Na presença de NDD-mTHPP por 2 h de incubação, foi observada inibição de 56 % no crescimento de E. coli, após irradiação com luz de 660 nm. No entanto, após esse período ocorreu diminuição da atividade antibacteriana por consequência da desativação do ROS. Com os nanoconjugados obtidos por rota enzimática foram observados danos na parede bacteriana (E. coli), observados por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, após irradiação com luzes azul e vermelha. Concluiu-se que os NDs obtidos apresentam um foco promissor para pesquisas na área de funcionalização superficial para a conjugação com FS como uma estratégia para aplicação em aPDT. Amongst the innumerous nanoparticles that have demonstrate antimicrobial activity, nanodiamonds (NDs) are promising materials for application in the biomedical area, due to their colloidal stability, being considered biocompatible. The present work used a residual film diamond-CVD sample, grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition, to obtain aqueous suspensions of NDCVD by different methodologies. NDCVD surface functionalization techniques were also used, as well as detonation DN (NDD), for the conjugation with photosensitizers (FSs) aiming the application in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Among the methodologies used to obtain NDCVD, a highlight was given to the technique of maceration followed by ultrasonic cavitation, due to the obtainment of NDs with small sizes and ease of operation of the equipment. Aiming at surface functionalization, plasma hydrogenation of H2 (ND-HCVD) and photofunctionalization with a carboxyl group (ND-COOHCVD-(UV)) were carried out, resulting in aqueous suspensions with a hydrodynamic diameter in the range of 50-70 nm. Functionalization was also performed through non-covalent bonding with porphyrin (FS) mTHPP with potential for application in aPDT. The studies were extended to the surface modification of detonation ND, originating a carboxylated, aminated and hydroxylated surface from methodologies with advantages related to the reduction of conversion time and elimination of additional steps, compared to previously reported processes. Compared with the processes described in the literature, the methods described herein showed drastic reduction of the conversion time, as well as elimination of additional steps. Nanoconjugates with FSs mTHPP and PHOTOGEM® were successfully obtained by using chemical and also enzymatic routes resulting in covalent ester bonds. Obtained NDs and surface functionalized ND were characterized by: dynamic light scattering, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopies: Raman, infrared, absorption and fluorescence emission. Cytotoxicity assays in non-tumor cells (MEF), in vitro evaluation of antitumoral activity (B16F10-Nex2 cells) and antibacterial potential of NDs were also performed. In vitro studies did not show cytotoxicity to MEF cells after the purification and functionalization steps, however ND-HCVD, NDCVD+mTHPP nanoconjugate showed cytotoxicity to tumor cells. Regarding antibacterial activity, it was possible to note a greater activity against the culture of E. coli (Gram -) (20 %) compared to S. aureus (Gram +) (12 %) after 24 h of incubation. For NDD-COOH, similar inhibition results were identified under the same conditions. In the presence of NDD-mTHPP for 2 h of incubation, a 56 % inhibition of E. coli growth was observed after irradiation with 660 nm light. After a period of 2 h there was a decrease in antibacterial activity as a result of ROS deactivation. With the nanoconjugates prepared by enzymatic route, qualitative antibacterial assays and analysis of the morphology of the bacterial culture by SEM were carried out, demonstrating the potential to inhibit the growth of E. coli by irradiation with blue and red lights, showing damage to the bacterial wall. It was concluded that the NDs developed herein can be considered a promising focus for research for application in aPDT.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico FAPEMIG - Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais Quantum dots de tamanhos mágicos (MSQD) são nanocristais estáveis e fluorescentes, com tamanhos menores que 2 nm, e incríveis propriedades óticas e eletrônicas. Visto que a toxicidade de quantum dots que utilizam cádmio em sua composição é um tema controverso, o nosso objetivo foi avaliar os efeitos de CdSe/CdS CS-MSQD no modelo animal Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), um importante modelo para testes de toxicidade de nanocompostos in vivo. Nós expomos os nematoides a várias concentrações de MSQDs e avaliamos os seguintes parâmetros: toxicidade aguda, tempo de vida, crescimento, expressão de genes relacionados a toxicidade e bioacumulação. Os MSQDs apresentaram pouca ou nenhuma toxicidade, o LC50 após 24 horas de exposição foi calculado em 1815.039 g/mL, enquanto que o LC50 do CdCl2 foi 825.254 g/mL. Os nematoides expostos não apresentaram diferenças significativas no tempo de vida ou no crescimento. Além disso, a análise da expressão genica demonstrou comportamentos diferentes para nematoides expostos aos MSQDs e para CdCl2. Conseguimos ainda detectar altos níveis de fluorescência derivada dos MSQDs internalizados pelos nematoides. Quantum dots de tamanhos mágicos (MSQDs) e ultrapequenos (USQDs) são nanocristais altamente fluorescentes com tamanhos menores do que 2 nm, mas diferindo em suas propriedades óticas e eletrônicas únicas. Considerando a semelhança no tamanho das nanopartículas, mas suas diferentes propriedades; nosso objetivo foi comparar os efeitos no desenvolvimento embrionário do modelo animal, Danio rerio (zebrafish), um importante modelo para análises de toxicidade. Ambos quantum dots foram avaliados por absorção ótica e espectroscopia de fluorescência, demonstrando que os MSQDs apresentam um espectro de fluorescência mais amplo do que os USQDs. Ovos fertilizados de zebrafish foram expostos a diversas concentrações de QDs, e a toxicidade foi avaliada durante o desenvolvimento embrionário, observando-se alterações morfológicas e anatômicas. Os MSQDs apresentaram maior toxicidade do que os USQDs na concentração de 10 μg/mL, visto que as larvas de zebrafish apresentaram um desenvolvimento anormal. Os embriões não eclodiram quando expostos a cloreto de cadmio na mesma concentração (controle). A toxicidade dos MSQDs pode ser explicada pela concentração de íons Cd+2 na superfície dos QDs. O modelo para os testes in vivo se demonstrou uma importante ferramenta para testes de toxicidade de nanocompostos, principalmente no caso de materiais com pouca alteração em sua composição ou estrutura. Magic-sized quantum dots (MSQD) are highly stable fluorescent nanocrystals with sizes < 2 nm, and remarkable optical and electronic properties. Since toxicity of cadmium composed quantum dots is highly controversial, our aim was to assess the effects of CdSe/CdS CS-MSQD on the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), an important in vivo model for analysis of nanocompounds toxicity. We have exposed the nematodes to several concentrations of the MSQD, and evaluated the following endpoints: acute toxicity, life spam, growth, expression of stress related genes and bioaccumulation. The MSQD presented little to no toxicity, with a 24 h LC50 of 1815.039 g/mL while CdCl2 LC50 was 825.254 g/mL. MSQD exposed nematodes showed no significant difference in life spam or growth analysis. Furthermore, gene expression analysis of MSQD exposed nematodes demonstrated a diverse behavior from nematodes exposed to CdCl2. In addition, we could detect high stable fluorescence derived from MSQD within the exposed nematodes. Magic-sized (MSQDs) and ultra-small quantum dots (USQDs) are highly stable fluorescent nanocrystals with sizes < 2 nm, but differing on their unique optical and electronic properties. Because of their similar size, but different properties, our aim was to compare their effects on the embryonic development of Danio rerio (zebrafish), an important in vivo model for toxicity analyses. Both QDs were evaluated by optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy (FL), demonstrating that the MSQDs presented broader fluorescence spectrum than USQDs. We have exposed fertilized eggs of zebrafish to several concentrations of both QDs, and evaluated toxicity during embryonic development by observing anatomical and morphological changes. The CdSe/CdS CS-MSQDs presented higher toxicity than CdSe/CdS CS-USQDs at 10 μg/mL since larvae displayed abnormal development. The embryos did not hatch when cadmium chloride was applied in the same concentration (control). The CdSe/CdS CS-MSQD toxicity may be explained by the increasing concentration of Cd+2 ions on the surface, causing larger surface defects. The in vivo zebrafish model demonstrated to be an important tool for toxicity tests mainly caused by small variations on QDs nanostructures. Dissertação (Mestrado)

Polímeros derivados de éter de celulose são comumente utilizados para liberação de fármacos. Este trabalho aplicou um derivado de éter de celulose, o hidroxietilcelulose (HEC), num sistema de liberação controlada (comprimido). Os comprimidos foram fabricados a partir de matérias primas comumente encontrada em formulações de produtos comerciais que visam liberar fármacos hidrofílicos como os derivados de xantinas. Neste caso a cafeína foi utilizada como fármaco modelo deste estudo. Na caracterização das matérias-primas e dos comprimidos foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas: Calorimetria Diferencial de Varredura (DSC); medidas espectroscópicas de Raman e UV/VIS; e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Para avaliação da matriz polimérica foram utilizadas técnicas de intumescimento por imersão em água e por exposição à atmosfera úmida. A liberação do fármaco foi avaliada por ensaios ?in vitro? utilizando água como meio de dissolução. Os mecanismos de intumescimento e liberação foram analisados com base nos modelos matemáticos de Vergnaud, Higuchi e de Korsmeyer. Além da formulação mais apropriada para obter a liberação controlada do fármaco modelo representativo da família das xantinas, o presente trabalho identificou os efeitos que a pressão de compressão e o armazenamento tem sobre a cinética de liberação do fármaco a partir dos comprimidos. Observou-se que a maior pressão de compressão gera comprimidos de liberação mais lenta sob mecanismo de liberação e intumescimento anômalos. O armazenamento causou alterações semelhantes nos dois tipos de comprimidos (de baixa e alta pressão de compressão). Após armazenamento a 75%UR e 30ºC/40ºC a cinética de liberação foi acelerada. Essa alteração foi identificada como consequência do um aumento de conteúdo de água nos comprimidos e relaxação dos polímeros pelo aumento de temperatura. Assim, os resultados sugeriram que um planejamento e combinação criteriosa das matérias-primas no desenho da formulação e escolha de parâmetros de fabricação constituem fatores críticos para o sucesso de um comprimido de liberação prolongada. Além disso, condições de temperatura e umidade durante o armazenamento são essenciais para garantir o comportamento de liberação controlada dos comprimidos baseados em HEC. Cellulose derivatives are polymers commonly used for drug delivery. In this work one of these derivatives, the hydroxiethylcellulose has been applied in the formulation of compressed tablets for controlled release purposes. The tablets were produced by using the same excipients normally used in the commercially available tablets and caffeine was used as model drug. The characterization of raw materials and tablets were performed by using the following techniques: Differential Scanning Calorimetry analysis (DSC), spectroscopic measurements of Raman and UV/VIS, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The swelling behavior of the polymeric matrix was evaluated by immersion in water and exposition to atmospheric humidity. The drug release profile of the tablets was obtained in ?in vitro? assays in water. The mechanisms of drug release and swelling were characterized by adjusting kinetic data to Higuchi, Korsmeyer and Vergnaud model. Additionally to the establishment of an appropriated formulation for controlled release of caffeine, the present work has identified the effects of compression pressure and storage over the drug release kinetic profile of the tablets. It was observed that the higher compression pressure generates tablets with slower drug release in a anomalous mechanism of release and swelling. The storage under 75/%RH and 30/ºC and 40/ºC increased the rate of drug release in both types of tablets (compressed at higher and at lower pressure). This change has been identified as a consequence of the increased water content of the tablets as well as a result of the relaxation of the polymeric chains due to the increased temperature. Overal, the results obtained, suggested that a criterious planning and combination of raw materials in the design of formulations as well as the set up of the parameters during the production of tablets are critical points to the success of a system for controlled release purposes. Besides, monitoring storage conditions as temperature and humidity is essencial in order to guarantee the controlled release behavior of HEC-based tablets.
