The sample was rinsed thoroughly, however, the CO bond may contribute to the obtained spectra; however, this addition to the spectra signal would be consistent between control and treated samples, meaning that changes are the result of Fungi – AuNP interactions. Our previous work has developed ...
At higher pH levels, the protonation decreased but the degree of swelling remained high due to intermolecular hydrogen bond formation being weak and the hydrophilicity of PAAm. Thus, the crosslink density is reduced, allowing the network structure to relax more and allow more water molecules to ...

A simple one-pot method is proposed for obtaining the colloidal nanohybrid structures of silver (gold) and zinc oxide as well as nanostructures doped with zinc ions. The copolymers of maleic acid were used for the stabilization of nanoheterostructures. To characterize the preparation, UV–Vis spect...
Gold nanoparticles-assisted delivery of antineoplastics into cancerous cells is presented as an effective approach for overcoming the limitations of systemic chemotherapy. Although ceragenins show great potential as anti-cancer agents, in some tumors, effective inhibition of cancer cells proliferation requi...
damage of the fungal cell membrane, and leakage of intracellular contents. Notably, no significant RBCs hemolysis at candidacidal doses of tested nanosystems was detected. Conclusions: The results provide rationale for the development of gold nanoparticles of rod-, peanut-, and star-shaped conjugated...
Functionalizing Au NPs for drug delivery or diverse applications often involves non-covalent interactions for drug loading. Alterations in native physical forces are sufficient for release, without necessitating specific bond cleavage. Hydrophobic drug release can be achieved by inducing changes in local hy...
Conclusions: Conjugation of CSA-131 with Au NPs by covalent bond between the COOH group from MHDA and NH3 from CSA-131 potentiates the antimicrobial activity of this ceragenin if compared to its action alone. Results validate the development of AuR NPs@CSA-131, AuP NPs@CSA-131, and AuS ...
