Potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of extract mediated Phytosynthesis of MnO nanoparticles.

The present research work describes the phyto-synthesis of Manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) from the reduction of potassium permanganate using () plant extract. From the literature review, we clearly understood the plant has anti-inflammatory activity. Manganese dioxides are important materials due to their wide range of applications.

Antiglycating potential of acesulfame potassium: an artificial sweetener.

Sweeteners have replaced the natural sugars in the food and beverage industry because of many reasons, such as hyperglycemia and cost. Saccharin, sucralose, aspartame and acesulfame-K are the most commonly used sweeteners. In the present study, the abovementioned artificial sweeteners were used to assess their glycating properties by established methods such as browning, fructosamine assay, determination of carbonyl content, protein aggregation, and measurement of fluorescence.

Elucidation of structural and functional properties of albumin bound to gold nanoparticles.

Nanoparticle-albumin complexes are being designed for targeted drug delivery and imaging. However, the changes in the functional properties of albumin due to adsorption on nanoparticles remain elusive. Thus, the objective of this work was to elucidate the structural and functional properties of human and bovine serum albumin bound to negatively charged gold nanoparticles (GNPs).

Albumin corona on nanoparticles - a strategic approach in drug delivery.

Nanomaterials have been used widely for delivery of therapeutic agents. Protein-nanoparticle (NP) complexes have gained importance as vehicles for targeted drug delivery due to increased ease of administration, stability and half-life of drug, and reduced toxic side effects. Designing of phospholipid-bovine serum albumin (BSA) complexes and stealth NPs with BSA has paved the way for drug delivery carriers with prolonged blood circulation times.

Bioactivity of albumins bound to silver nanoparticles.

The last decade has witnessed a tremendous rise in the proposed applications of nanomaterials in the field of medicine due to their very attractive physiochemical properties and novel actions such as the ability to reach previously inaccessible targets such as brain. However biological activity of functional molecules bound to nanoparticles and its physiological consequences is still unclear and hence this area requires immediate attention. The functional properties of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) bound to silver nanoparticles (~60 nm) have been studied under physiological environment.
