С помощью методов УФ спектроскопии, динамического светорассеяния (ДСР) и сканирующей электронной микроскопии (СЭМ) в водных растворах L-цистеина и N-ацетил-L-цистеина (НАЦ) с нитритом серебра (AgNO) при концентрации от 0.001 М до 0.025 М и различных соотношениях исходных компонентов изучены процессы самоорганизации, приводящие к образованию гидрогеля. Установлено, что для растворов на основе L-цистеин и AgNO (цистеин-серебряный раствор - ЦСР) с концентрацией исходных компонентов 0.025 М и выше образуются устойчивые гидрогели, содержащие наночастицы серебра (НЧС). В то же время, в растворах на основе НАЦ и AgNO гели и НЧС не формировались. Определены закономерности и условия, влияющие на процесс образования геля, что позволило предложить механизм гелеобразования в ЦСР. Using the methods of UV spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in aqueous solutions of L-cysteine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) add silver nitrite (AgNO) at different concentration from 0.001 to 0.025 M the processes of self-organization leading to the formation of a hydrogel have studied in various ratios of the initial components. It has found that for solutions based on L-cysteine and AgNO (cysteine-silver solution - CSS) with a concentration of initial components of 0.025 M form stable hydrogels containing silver nanoparticles (SNPs). At the same time, solutions based on NAC and AgNO are unable to form gels and SNPs. The regularities and conditions influencing the process of gel formation have been determined, which made it possible to propose a mechanism of gelation in the CSS.

ABSTRACTObjective: The synthesis of nanoparticles from biological processes is evolving a new era of research interests in nanotechnology. Silver nanoparticlesare usually synthesized by chemicals and physical method, which are quite toxic and flammable in nature. This study deals with an environmentfriendly biosynthesis process of antibacterial silver nanoparticles using Momordica charantia fruit.Methods: AgNO3 (5 mM) was allowed to react with fruit extract of M. charantia. Biosynthesis of AgNPs was optimized by changing temperature,pH, and solvent.

Aim: Acetyl-11-keto- β-boswellic acid (AKBA) is a potent anti-inflammatory compound limited by its low water solubility and bioavailability. To load AKBA on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to improve bioavailability and water solubility of the compound. Materials & methods: AKBA-AgNPs were chemically synthesized and characterized by UV–Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. AKBA and AKBA-Ag were studied for their sedative-hypnotic and anti-inflammatory efficacies. Results: Pretreatment with AKBA or AKBA-Ag caused significant dose-dependent sedative-hypnotic effects at 5 and 10 mg/kg intraperitoneal. The effects of AKBA-loaded AgNPs caused pronounced changes in mice compared with those of AKBA, and the AKBA-AgNPs demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects that were superior to those of AKBA. Conclusion: The loading of AKBA on nanoparticles improved its pharmacokinetic effects, and capacity for drug delivery.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber is a very versatile fiber that can be produced with different properties, such as antimicrobial activity. This study aims to synthesize antimicrobial PET filaments incorporated with silver nanoparticles immobilized in silica (NPAg-Si) by bulk additive method. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) characterized the obtained filaments at concentrations (w/w) of 0.008%, 0.016%, 0.032%, 0.047% and 0.063% NPAg-Si, in order to identify the nanoparticles and analyze their dispersion in the polymeric matrix. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carry out to confirm the presence and concentration of the silver nanoparticles in the filaments as well as the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. The bulk addition method was efficient to produce PET-Silver filaments with silver nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed in the PET matrix.

Spillage of protoscoleces within hydatid fluid during surgery for hydatid cyst is the main reason for its recurrence. Therefore, to inactivate the protoscoleces, various scolicidal substances have been tested. However, novel and more efficient agents are needed owing to several associated complications. This study focused on the effects of green synthetic Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Zizyphus spina- christi leaves on Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces. Also, to evaluate the blood compatibility of Ag NPs. The Ag NPs were identified by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Visible) spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy imaging, and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Hydatid fluid was aspirated aseptically from cysts of infected sheep liver. The protoscoleces were exposed to Ag NPs at several concentrations. Also, scanning electron microscopy for ultrastructural changes and in vitro erythrocytes lysis was performed. The Ag NPs were spherical; the particles' size reached 50 nm, and presented a surface plasmon peak around 460 nm. The current study's findings indicated the powerful in vitro scolicidal efficacy of the green biosynthesized AgNPs. Several morphological alterations were observed on the protoscoleces by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Lysis of RBCs at different doses of Ag NPs was significantly (P≤0.05) less than the positive control value, thus proposing its biocompatibility. This work suggests that chemicals like polyphenols present in the extract of Z. spina- christi act as reducing and stabilizers agents to create Ag NPs Nevertheless, further investigations are needed to investigate the Ag NPs scolicidial effects in animal models.

An extremely worrying and alarming increase in the level of multiple drug resistance is reported in Sudan, in which bacterial strains are becoming resistant to many commonly available antibiotics. Eventually, it is becoming extremely difficult to treat debilitating infections. In search of promising solutions to this arising crisis, Camellia sinensis silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the green synthesis method. The synthesis of the Camellia sinensis silver nanoparticles is confirmed using analytical methods as ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and scanning electron microscopy. Using the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, an absorption band of 412 nm was observed. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of silver nanoparticles which fell within the range of 1–100 nm, and X-ray diffractometer analysis showed three intense peaks with a maximum intense peak at 24.3 theta. Nanoparticles distribution between 12 nm and 64 nm was observed with an average diameter of 18.115 nm. It also revealed orthorhombic-shaped nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a zone of inhibition of 7 mm, but none was detected against Escherichia coli. The obtained physicochemical properties were correlated with the antibacterial activity of the silver nanoparticles.
