In Vitro and In Vivo Studies of Antibacterial Coatings on Titanium Alloy Implants for Veterinary Application.

The aim of this work was the evaluation of biological properties of hybrid coatings modified with Ag, Cu, and Zn nanoparticles (NPs) applied on TPLO medical implants by the sol-gel process. The implant coatings enriched with various concentrations of metallic NPs were investigated in the in vitro bactericidal efficacy tests against Gram+ and Gram- bacteria and pathogenic yeast. Next, the designed materials were tested on human osteosarcoma cell lines.

Liposomal Binuclear Ir(III)-Cu(II) Coordination Compounds with Phosphino-Fluoroquinolone Conjugates for Human Prostate Carcinoma Treatment.

Novel heteronuclear Ir-Cu coordination compounds ([Ir(η-Cp*)ClPcfx-Cu(phen)](NO)·1.75(CHOH)·0.75(HO) (), [Ir(η-Cp*)ClPnfx-Cu(phen)](NO)·1.

Copper(ii) complexes with 2-ethylpyridine and related hydroxyl pyridine derivatives: structural, spectroscopic, magnetic and anticancer studies.

Copper(ii) complexes with 2-ethylpyridine (1 and 2), 2-(hydroxyethyl)pyridine (3) and 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (4) have been synthesized and characterized. All inorganic compounds have been studied by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, vibrational and EPR spectroscopy as well as theoretical methods. The geometry of the complexes 1, 3 and 4 adopts nearly perfect geometry close to square planar (1, 4) or square pyramid (3) stereochemistry, respectively.

Therapeutic Potential of a Water-Soluble Silver-Diclofenac Coordination Polymer on 3D Pancreatic Cancer Spheroids.

This work describes the traditional wet and green synthetic approaches, structural features, and extensive bioactivity study for a new coordination polymer [Ag(-PTA)(Df)(HO)]·3HO () that bears a silver(I) center, a 1,3,5-triaza-phosphaadamantane (PTA) linker, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac (Df). Compared to cisplatin, compound exhibits both anti-inflammatory properties and very remarkable cytotoxicity toward various cancer cell lines with a high value of selectivity index. Additionally, the 3D model representing human pancreas/duct carcinoma (PANC-1) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) was designed and applied as a clear proof of the remarkable therapeutic potential of .

Electrostatic self-assembly approach in the deposition of bio-functional chitosan-based layers enriched with caffeic acid on Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys by alternate immersion.

Tailoring surface properties by layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition directed on the construction of complex multilayer coatings with nanoscale precision enables the development of novel structures and devices with desired functional properties (i.e., osseointegration, bactericidal activity, biocorrosion protection).
