Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized with Curcumin (Curcuma longa L.) or Açai (Euterpe oleracea) versus a commercial treatment and photobiomodulation in rat palatal wounds.
Methods: In vitro cell viability tests assessed nanoparticle toxicity. The animals were initially anesthetized, and circular lesions were created in the palatine mucosa using a 4 mm/diameter punch. The first treatment session commenced 24 h after the injury and continued daily for 5 days. Twenty-four hours after the final treatment, the animals were euthanized, and the palatal mucosa tissue was collected for histological and biochemical analyses.
Results: AgNPs-Cur significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidant markers, increased anti-inflammatory cytokines, the wound contraction rate, and the collagen area, and reduced the inflammatory infiltrate compared to the controls.
Conclusion: The therapies effectively aided inflammation resolution and accelerated tissue repair. This study highlights potential cost-effective and efficient alternatives for oral and palatal mucosa wound healing, improving upon standard commercial treatments.

A novel phthalonitrile derivative (a) containing three functional groups (hexyl, aminated ester, phenoxy) was synthesized and subsequently cyclotetramerized in the presence of the corresponding metal chloride salts to obtain hexadeca-substituted metal {M = Cu(II) and Co(II)} phthalocyanines (b and c). The water-soluble phthalocyanines (d and e) were prepared by treating the newly synthesized complexes (b and c) with methyl iodide. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (1) and silver nanoparticles (2) were prepared, and their surfaces were modified with quaternary phthalocyanines (d and e).

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of nanostructured Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films combining the conjugated copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PDOF--PEDOT) with spherical and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The LB technique allowed precise control over the molecular arrangement and distribution of the nanoparticles at the air-water interface, resulting in compact, reproducible and structurally ordered nanocomposite films. The structural and morphological properties of the interfacial monolayers and LB films were investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and quartz crystal microbalance.

Objectives: Antibiotic resistance towards penicillin has been attempted to counter by chemically modifying ampicillin through the conjugation with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The current study optimizes the conditions for synthesizing and characterizing AgNP-ampicillin to quantify the conjugation extent, evaluate the antibacterial efficacy, and explore the underlying antibacterial mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: AgNPs were synthesized from silver nitrate by chemical reduction method, silica-coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and amine functionalized by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), which was then conjugated with ampicillin via the carbodiimide chemistry.
