Review of advances in coating and functionalization of gold nanoparticles
2024 - ROSERO, WILMMER A.A.; BARBEZAN, ANGELICA B.; SOUZA, CARLA D. de; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
Nanoparticles, especially gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have gained increasing interest in biomedical applications. Used for disease prevention, diagnosis and therapies, its significant advantages in therapeutic efficacy and safety have been the main target of interest. Its application in immune system prevention, stability in physiological environments and cell membranes, low toxicity and optimal bioperformances are critical to the success of engineered nanomaterials. Its unique optical properties are great attractors. Recently, several physical and chemical methods for coating these NPs have been widely used. Biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, antibodies, proteins, carbohydrates and biopolymers, among others, have been widely used in coatings of Au NPs for various biomedical applications, thus increasing their biocompatibility while maintaining their biological functions. This review mainly presents a general and representative view of the different types of coatings and Au NP functionalization using various biomolecules, strategies and functionalization mechanisms.
Development of radioactive nanoparticles functionalized with gum arabic to be used in nanobrachytherapy
2023 - ROSERO, WILMMER A.A.; BARBEZAN, ANGELICA B.; RIGO, MARIA E.Z.; RODRIGUES, PRISCILA S.; TEODORO, LARA E.H.; TALACIMON, CRISTHIAN F.; ZEITUNI, CARLOS A.; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
The development of new materials emerges as an alternative to the treatment of cancer, from the combination of nanotechnology and brachytherapy a new area of research was born, Nanobrachytherapy, which through the properties of nanometric materials can achieve better results in the fight against cancer. The objective of this work is classified as radiotherapy, which consists of the use of ionizing radiation to destroy or inhibit the growth of abnormal cells that form a tumor. [1] The ability to integrate NPsAu into biological systems is due to the nanometric dimensions of NPsAu probes which facilitate their incorporation into biological systems, as well as their bioconjugation and non-cytotoxic potential. [2] Taking into account the previous objective, gold was selected as the base element for obtaining nanometric systems, which due to its chemical richness and especially due to the intrinsic properties of one of its radioisotopes, which would allow us in theory to meet the stated objective. . Initially, it was based on the knowledge of the literature, and non-radioactive nanometric systems were obtained, and after a series of stability, characterization and application tests, the radioactive nanometric systems were obtained. Working with radioactive systems posed a great challenge, and up to now it presents us with situations to solve, but we have managed to create a methodology for obtaining, characterizing and applying radioactive gold nanoparticles, and also obtaining positive results from their application.
Synthesis, in vitro testing, and biodistribution of surfactant-free radioactive nanoparticles for cancer treatment
2022 - SOUZA, CARLA D. de; BARBEZAN, ANGELICA B.; ROSERO, WILMMER A.A.; SANTOS, SOFIA N. dos; CARVALHO, DIEGO V. de S.; ZEITUNI, CARLOS A.; BERNARDES, EMERSON S.; VIEIRA, DANIEL P.; SPENCER, PATRICK J.; RIBEIRO, MARTHA S.; ROSTELATO, MARIA E.C.M.
New forms of cancer treatment, which are effective, have simple manufacturing processes, and easily transportable, are of the utmost necessity. In this work, a methodology for the synthesis of radioactive Gold-198 nanoparticles without the use of surfactants was described. The nuclear activated Gold-198 foils were transformed into H198AuCl4 by dissolution using aqua regia, following a set of steps in a specially designed leak-tight setup. Gold-198 nanoparticles were synthesized using a citrate reduction stabilized with PEG. In addition, TEM results for the non-radioactive product presented an average size of 11.0 nm. The DLS and results for the radioactive 198AuNPs presented an average size of 8.7 nm. Moreover, the DLS results for the PEG-198AuNPs presented a 32.6 nm average size. Cell line tests showed no cytotoxic effect in any period and the concentrations were evaluated. Furthermore, in vivo testing showed a high biological uptake in the tumor and a cancer growth arrest.
