Two new nonfused ring nonfullerene electron acceptors, NFAs, (dicarbazolyl)bis(2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile) () and -(2-(5,6-fluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile) (), thus exhibiting an A-D-A motif, were synthesized and characterized. As thin films, they exhibit the lowest energy absorption signature near 540 nm, extending down to ∼700 nm. This band is due to an intramolecular charge transfer process from the (nonfused dicarbazoyl; ) moiety to the malononitrile-based units () based on density functional theory calculations (DFT), which are also corroborated by time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) computations.

Fabricating complex hierarchical structures mimicking natural vessels and arteries is pivotal for addressing problems of cardiovascular diseases. Various fabrication strategies have been explored to achieve this goal, each contributing unique advantages and challenges to the development of functional vascular grafts. In this study, a three-layered tubular structure resembling vascular grafts was fabricated using biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) using advanced manufacturing techniques.

This paper introduces an evidence-based, design-of-experiments (DoE) approach to analyze and optimize drug delivery systems, ensuring that release aligns with the therapeutic window of the medication. First, the effective factors and release data of the system are extracted from the literature and meta-analytically undergo regression modeling. Then, the interaction and correlation of the factors to each other and the release amount are quantitatively assessed.

Folic Acid-Decorated Chitosan-PLGA Nanobiopolymers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells: Studies.

Technol Cancer Res Treat

December 2024

Department of Life Science Engineering, Faculty of New Sciences and Technologies, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.

Objectives: This study developed a drug delivery system (DDS) using folic acid (FA)-functionalized chitosan (CS) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanocarriers for targeted sodium butyrate (NB) delivery to leukemia cells (NALM6). The goal was to enhance NB's therapeutic efficacy while reducing its cytotoxicity to non-malignant cells.

Methods: FA-CS-PLGA nanocarriers were synthesized and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

A method has been developed for manufacturing biological microchips on an aluminum substrate with hydrophilic cells from brush copolymers with the formation of a matrix of cells using photolithography. The surface of aluminum substrates was previously coated with a thin, durable, moderately hydrophobic layer of cross-linked polymer to prevent contact with the aluminum surface of the components used in the analysis of nucleic acids. Aluminum biochip substrates have high thermal conductivity and low heat capacity, which is important for the development of methods for multiplex PCR analysis on a chip.
