The optimal conditions were selected for obtaining homogeneous nanoemulsions (NE) of lipoic acid conjugates (LA-conjugates) based on Pluronic F68 (1,8%) with a particle size not exceeding 400 nm, characterized by 97±2% encapsulation efficiency of substances in nanoparticles (NP). A heterogeneous NE (polydispersity index, PDI>0,3) with the derivative of LA and myo-inositol based on phosphatidylcholine (PC, C = 3 mg/ml) was also obtained consisting of 2 particle fractions: 20–70 nm (27%) and 122–212 nm (73%). The obtained NEs with LA-conjugates based on Pluronic F68 and PC were stable during long-term storage (more than 12 months) at room temperature. The effect of the obtained NEs of LA-conjugates on platelet aggregation (Pt) caused by arachidonic acid (AA) was determined, and a mechanism of their action was proposed.

Abstract Given widespread fluoride in the ground water, there is a need for effective defluoridation in several geographical areas. In this regard, we explored heavily doped cationic nano-composites of hydroxyapatite (HA) given its surface chemistry for adsorption of the specific anion. We synthesized and extensively characterized HA nano-rods (HA-NR), Al/Mg-HA nanocomposites and amorphous aluminum hydroxide, and optimized their efficient defluoridation. The kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption were further evaluated to establish the mechanistic rationale and its spontaneity. We report the optimized ideal adsorbents for the near-total removal of fluoride that demonstrated 99.99% and 99.98% efficiency with adsorption capacities of 83.3 and 81.3mg/g respectively. The adsorbent composites were (Mg-HA)-Al(OH)3 and (HA-NR)-Al(OH)3 in 1:1 ratio. The optimal conditions for defluoridation were 25mg of adsorbent in 25ml (10mg/L) fluoride solution at room temperature agitated for 10h in the pH range of 4.88–7.20.
