The green synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) for catalysis and biological applications has been gaining great interest. To replace complex plant extracts, lentinan (LNT) may be a good reducing and stabilizing agent. In this work, a simple and green method using LNT to reduce and stabilize palladium Pd NPs was verified. The resulting LNT stabilized palladium nanoparticles (Pd -LNT NPs) were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS, TEM, and XPS. The results indicated that Pd NPs inside of Pd -LNT NPs had a small size (2.35-3.32 nm). Pd -LNT NPs were stable in solution for 7 days. In addition, Pd -LNT NPs had higher catalytic activity towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol than other catalysts. More importantly, Pd -LNT NPs had negligible cytotoxicity towards cells and showed good antioxidant activity. Taken together, the prepared Pd -LNT NPs have great potential bio-related applications.

Polysaccharides are considered to be ideal green raw materials for enhancing biocompatibility and dispersion effects of nanoparticles. In this study, we coated and dispersed ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using the denaturation-renaturation process of a triple helix glucan lentinan (LNT), induced by changes in pH value within the reaction system. Various ZnO/LNT composites with different particle sizes and crystal morphologies were prepared and characterized.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a global, chronic, and refractory disease. Corticosteroids are first-line drugs for the treatment of UC but also cause adverse side effects. Budesonide (BUD), a corticosteroid with relatively low side effects, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as enteric capsules (Entocort EC) for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In order to prepare angiopep-2 modified fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled neurotoxin nanoparticles( ANG-NPs/FITCNT),emulsion/solvent evaporation method was used with m PEG-PLA and ANG-PEG-PLA( in proper proportions) as carriers and with FITC-NT as drug. With particle size and encapsulation efficiency as comprehensive indexes,the effects of different ultrasound power and ultrasound time combinations on the process were investigated.
