    Synthesis and characterization of magnetite/gold core shell nanoparticles stabilized with a -cyclodextrin nanosponge to develop a magneto-plasmonic system

    Magnetite/gold core-shell nanoparticles (magnetite/gold NPs) have important optical and magnetic properties that provide potential for applications, especially biomedical ones. However, their preparation is not exempt from difficulties that might lead to unexpected or undesired structures. This work reports the synthesis and characterization of magnetite/gold NPs using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) to promote the formation of a continuous interface between the magnetite core and the thin gold shell. The synthesized magnetite/gold NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), ζ-potential, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS), confirming the core-shell structure of the NPs with narrow size distribution while evidencing its plasmonic and superparamagnetic properties as well. Further, the magnetite/gold NPs were associated and stabilized with a β-cyclodextrin nanosponge (β-CDNSs), obtaining a versatile magneto-plasmonic system for potential applications in the encapsulation and controlled release of drugs.

    β-Cyclodextrin nanosponges inclusion compounds associated with silver nanoparticles to increase the antimicrobial activity of quercetin
    (2023) Salazar Sandoval, Sebastián; Bruna, Tamara; Maldonado-Bravo, Francisca; Bolaños, Karen; Adasme-Reyes, Sofía; Riveros, Ana; Caro, Nelson; Yutronic, Nicolás; Silva, Nataly; Kogan, Marcelo J.; Jara, Paul
    This work aimed to synthesize and characterize a nanocarrier that consisted of a ternary system, namely β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponge (NS) inclusion compounds (ICs) associated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to increase the antimicrobial activity of quercetin (QRC). The nanosystem was developed to overcome the therapeutical limitations of QRC. The host–guest interaction between NSs and QRC was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H–NMR). Moreover, the association of AgNPs with the NS–QRC was characterized using FE–SEM, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), ζ-potential, and UV–Vis. Finally, the antimicrobial activity of the novel formulations was tested, which depicted that the complexation of QRC inside the supramolecular interstices of NSs increases the inhibitory effects against Escherichia coli ATCC25922, as compared to that observed in the free QRC. In addition, at the same concentrations used to generate an antibacterial effect, the NS–QRC system with AgNPs does not affect the metabolic activity of GES–1 cells. Therefore, these results suggest that the use of NSs associated with AgNPs resulted in an efficient strategy to improve the physicochemical features of QRC.
