Our issues suggest that ChNPs application can be used as an ecofriendly approach to enhance yield and mineral content in finger millet for sustainable production.Preparation of Curdlan sulphate - Chitosan nanoparticles as a drug carrier to target Mycobacterium smegmatis infected macrophages.In this study, curdlan sulphate - chitosan nanoparticles were maked through polyelectrolyte complexing at a mass ratio of 2:1 respectively. The curdlan was created by fermentation with Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31750, which was then sulphated to form the polyanionic polymer. A first-line tuberculosis drug, Rifampicin and a phytochemical, DdPinitol, were capsuled into Curdlan Sulphate (CS) - Chitosan Nanoparticles (C) (CSC NPs) of size 205 ± 7 nm.
The drug release kinetics surveiled a Weibull model with initial burst release (48 % Rifampicin and 27 % d-Pinitol within 6 h), espoused by a sustained release. The prepared CSC: d-PIN + RIF NPs was cytocompatible and entered the M.smegmatis infected macrophages through multiple endocytic pathways admiting clathrin, caveolae and macropinocytosis. They evinced superior bactericidal activity (2-2 fold) within 4 h when equated to free drug Rifampicin (1 fold). The drug encapsulated CSC: RIF crushed the pro-inflammatory gene (TNF-α by 3 ± 0 fold) and CSC: d-PIN + RIF increased expression of the anti-inflammatory gene (IL-10 by 13 ± 0 fold). Expression of TGF- β1 gene also increased when dealed with CSC: d-PIN + RIF (13 ± 0 fold) which rendered the immunomodulatory activity of the capsulised CSC NPs curdlan sulphate - chitosan polyelectrolyte complex can be a potential nanocarrier matrix for intracellular delivery of multiple drugs.Alginate-chitosan microcapsules improve vaccine potential of gamma-irradiated Listeria monocytogenes against listeriosis in murine model.
Listeria monocytogenes is a cause of infectious food-stomached disease in humans, qualifyed by neurological reflections, abortion, and neonatal septicemia. It is intracellular bacterium, which determines the development of protective inactivated vacines. Adjuvants capable of exciting cellular immune response are important instruments for preparing novel vaccines against intracellular bacteria. chitosan benefits of this study was to evaluate the vaccine potential of L. monocytogenes demobilized by gamma irradiation (KLM-γ) encapsulated in alginate microcapsules linked or not with chitosan against listeriosis in the murine model. At the fourth day after challenge there was a reduction in bacterial recovery in mice immunised with KLM-γ encapsulated with alginate or alginate-chitosan, with lower bacterial loads in the spleen (10 fold) and liver (100 fold) when equated to non-vaccinated mice. In vitro stimulation of splenocytes from mice inoculated with alginate- chitosan -capsuled KLM-γ leaved in lymphocyte proliferation, increase of proportion of memory CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell and production of IL-10 and IFN-γ the group vaccinated with alginate-chitosan-encapsulated KLM-γ had increased survival to lethal infection with lower L.
monocytogenes-stimulated hepatic inflammation and necrosis KLM-γ encapsulation with alginate-chitosan proved to have potential for development of novel and safe inactivated vaccine formulations against listeriosis.Magnetic phosphorylated chitosan composite as a novel adsorbent for highly effective and selective capture of lead from aqueous solution.furcating and recovering lead from heavy metal polluted wastewater is crucial for the environment remediation and reutilization of lead resourcefulnessses. Herein, a novel adsorbent, the phosphorylated chitosan-coated magnetic silica nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)@CS-P), was successfully invented and implemented to highly selective adsorption of lead. Competitive experimentations were conducted in a multi-ion solution (7 metal ions coexist) at pH 6, Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)@CS-P demoed an excellent selectively for geting lead with the distribution coefficient (0 L g(-1)) more ten times than other metal, while Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)@CS shewed a highly selective adsorption of silver. These meaned that phosphorylation of adsorbent not only betters the sorption performance of lead, but also changes the selective adsorption of metal characters.
