Antimicrobial agents have been developed for drug-resistance infections, which have been rapidly increasing; however, the control of involved microorganisms is still a challenge. In this work, SNP with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and chitosan (CS) coatings were prepared with an aqueous reduction method, characterized using dispersion light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and thermal analysis. Antibacterial activity was tested on seven oral and nonoral bacteria by microdilution test and scanning electron microscopy. Six different sizes and shapes of coated SNP were prepared and used. Characterization revealed narrow size and good distribution of particles, spherical and pseudospherical shapes, and the presence of coatings on the SNP surfaces. All samples showed antimicrobial activity, although smaller sizes and CS samples had the best inhibition effects. The highest microbial resistance was shown by Gram-positive bacteria. Although coated SNP action depends on particular bacterium, BSA and CS coated SNP could be used for drug-resistance infections.

Nanomaterials, such as magnetic nanoparticles have attracted significant attention of medical area due to their capacity to improve the performance of immunoassays. Therefore the aim of this work was to study the bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugation in superparamagnetic (MNPs)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles with further characterization and application in enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay. The successful conjugation of BSA in MNPs- PMMA nanoparticles was confirmed by several techniques, including light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Lowry protein quantification assay. The superparamagnetic properties were confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometer. BSA conjugated MNPs-PMMA nanoparticles presented higher interactions with antibody than free BSA. The BSA + MNPs-PMMA nanoparticles (magnetic ELISA assay) reduced the time and increased the sensibility of traditional ELISA assay, reinforcing the idea that the use these nanomaterials are an excellent alternative for the immunoassays field.

The surface topography of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) film immobilized with heparin and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with the unmodified film, the surface of modified film changed and become rough, which indirectly proved the successful introduction of monomer and biomolecule on PEEK

Background: Over the years, transition metal complexes have exhibited significant antimicrobial and antitumor activity. It all started with cisplatin discovery, but due to the large number of side effects it shows, there is a growing need to find a new metal-based compound with higher selectivity and activity on more tumors. Objectives: Two novel trans-palladium(II) complexes with organoselenium compounds as ligands, [Pd(L1)2Cl2] (L1 = 5- (phenylselanylmethyl)-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one) and [Pd(L2)2Cl2] (L2 = 2-methyl-5-(phenylselanylmethyl)- tetrahydrofuran) were synthesized, in the text referred to as Pd-Se1 and Pd-Se2. Also, a structurally similar trans-palladium(II) complex, [Pd(L3)2Cl2] (L3= 2,2-dimethyl-3-(phenylselanylmethyl)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran ) was synthesized according to an already published work and is referred to as Pd-Se3. The interaction of synthesized complexes with DNA and bovine serum albumin were done. Also, antimicrobial activity and in vitro testing, cell viability, and cytotoxic effects of synthesized ligands and complexes on human epithelial colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116 were studied. Molecular docking simulations were performed to understand better the binding modes of the complexes reported in this paper with DNA and BSA, as well as to comprehend their antimicrobial activity. Methods: The interactions of the synthesized complexes with DNA and bovine serum albumin were done using UV-Vis and emission spectral studies as well as docking studies. Antimicrobial activity was tested by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) using the resazurin microdilution plate method. Cytotoxic activity on cancer cells was studied by MTT test. Results: The Pd(II) complexes showed a significant binding affinity for calf thymus DNA and bovine serum albumin by UV-Vis and emission spectral studies. The intensity of antimicrobial activity varied with the complexes Pd-Se1 and Pd-Se3, showing significantly higher activity than the corresponding ligand. The most significant activity was shown on Pseudomo-nas aeruginosa. Under standardized laboratory conditions for in vitro testing, cell viability and cytotoxic effects of synthesized ligands and complexes were studied on human epithelial colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116, where Pd-Se2 showed some significant cytotoxic effects. Conclusion: The newly synthesized complexes have the potential to be further investigated as metallodrugs.

Design and development of paclitaxel-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles for brain targeting Bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) were prepared using a desolvation technique. A 32 full factorial design (FFD) was employed to formulate nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were characterized for particle size by photon correlation spectroscopy and surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Encapsulation efficiency, zeta potential and particle yield were also determined. Response surface linear modelling (RSLM) was used to predict the optimal formulation. Various models were applied to determine the release mechanism from PTX nanoparticles. The effect of drug-polymer ratio on the release profile of formulations was observed and was applied to determine the suitability of the predicted optimal formulation. A preliminary study to determine the feasibility of targeting the prepared nanoparticles to brain was also carried out using mice as in vivo models.

The binding reaction of nickel(II) complex [Ni(C16H20N2)2•(H2O)2]Cl2•C3H7NO with bovine serum albumin(BSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy under the simulative physiological conditions. The experimental results show that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by nickel(II) complex is a result of the formation of ground state complex and the quenching mechanism was static quenching. The binding constants were 4.24×103L•mol−1at 293K with one binding site. The antimicrobial activity study found that the nickel(II) complex was active against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.
