Abstract In this work, first, copper oxide nanoparticles (CUO NPs) were synthesized by physical methods and then coated with the bovine serum albumin (BSA) via biologically meditated minerals to form CUO@BSA NPs. Finally, curcumin (CUR) as an anticancer drug were immobilized on the surface of CUO@BSA NPS. The properties of CUO@BSA-CUR NPS were investigated by FTIR, UV-Vis, TEM, and AFM spectroscopes. It was found that the synthesized CUO@BSA-CUR nanoparticles were spherical with a particle size of 20 to 30 nm and have a sustained release of CUR at 37°C in buffer solution. Also, the result of release in biological environment showed that maximum drug release rate for this nanocarrier in pH 7.4 was measured 75% after 48 hours. The cytotoxicity of CUO@BSA-CUR on MDA-MB-231 cell line was studied. The results showed that CUO@BSA-CUR nanoparticles have significant cytotoxic activity on this cell line, while the results of MTT assay indicated the CUO@BSA NPs have no toxicity effect on the cancer cells.

Objective: The aim of the present research was to prepare metoprolol-loaded nanospheres. Metoprolol-loaded bovine albumin nanospheres were prepared by nanoprecipitation method. Metoprolol is beta-1-adrenergic receptor inhibitor specific to cardiac cells, thus producing negative chronotropic and ionotropic effect. Methods: Metoprolol nanospheres were prepared by nanoprecipitation method, using bovine serum albumin as polymer. The prepared nanospheres are evaluated for particle size evaluation, drug entrapment efficiency, and zeta potential. Drug-excipient compatibility was determined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In vitro release and solubility of the drug from nanoparticles were determined. Results: The particle size of prepared metoprolol nanospheres was found to be always less than 200 nm. Maximum particle size was found to be 196±2.03 nm of batch 4 nanoparticles. Entrapment efficiency of prepared nanospheres was above 80% and maximum percentage entrapment efficiency was found to be 80.4±0.51%. It was found that the percentage entrapment efficiency and drug release were extended with increase in polymer concentration. Zeta potential of the optimized formulation was found to be −20.4 mV. In vitro drug release studies have shown the prolonged release of 94.5±0.54 up to 10 h. Drug release rate is extended with an increase in polymer concentration. Conclusion: Results have concluded that the albumin nanospheres loaded with metoprolol have reduced the blood pressure within 24 h and the prepared nanospheres are effective compared to other formulations and drug delivery.

The levels of fluorescent material in the hemolymph of lobsters injected with serum proteins from lobster hemolymph labelled with fluorescein remained relatively constant over a 6-day test period; the levels in lobsters injected with bovine serum albumin labelled with fluorescein declined rapidly. A precipitin-like reaction was observed when lobster hemolymph serum was titrated with bovine serum albumin in vitro.

Sorption experiments of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic granules, prepared at three temperatures 900°C, 1000°C and 1150°C were performed at room temperature 18,6 °C and phosphate buffer, pH 5,83; 6.38 and 7,39. Thermal treatment contributed to the decrease of bovine serum albumin immobilization indicating that sorption process depended on HAp ceramics specific surface area and pH values of phosphate buffer solution. However, it was confirmed that granule size was also an important parameter for bovine serum albumin adsorption. As a result of these experiments, the most appropriate adsorption conditions and phosphate buffer pH values influence on to BSA sorption were analyzed.
