Preparation, characterization, and evaluation of amino acid modified magnetic nanoparticles: drug delivery and MRI contrast agent applications.
    Pharmaceutical development and technology, 2018, Volume: 23, Issue:10

    This study is a report about the synthesis iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IONPs) which modified with positive and negative charged amino acids (AAs). l-Arginine (Arg) and l-aspartic acid (Asp) which have of guanidinium and carboxylic acid groups, respectively, were selected for this study. After loading chrysin in amino acids modified iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (F@AAs@Chrysin NPs), it was characterized by XRD, TGA, FTIR, VSM, and TEM techniques. Finally, MTT assays on HFF-2 and HEK-293 cell lines were performed for determination of biocompatibility of AA coated IONPs. The results show that, the ζ-potential and average size of F@Arg@chrysin NPs and F@Asp@chrysin NPs were to -3.87, -2.12 mV, 18.75 ± 2.40 (mean ± SD (

Chrysin protects mice from Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia.
    Journal of applied microbiology, 2011, Volume: 111, Issue:6

    To elucidate the effect of chrysin on α-haemolysin production by Staphylococcus aureus and protection against pneumonia in a murine model.. Haemolysis, Western blot and real-time RT-PCR assays were performed to evaluate the effect of chrysin on α-haemolysin secretion by Staph. aureus. The efficacy of chrysin against human alveolar epithelial cell injury by α-haemolysin was tested using live/dead staining or by measuring lactate dehydrogenase activity. Furthermore, we determined the protective effect of chrysin against Staph. aureus pneumonia through histopathology experiments in a mouse model. The production of α-haemolysin by Staph. aureus was inhibited when presented with an increasing subinhibitory concentration of chrysin in vitro. Consistent with this result, chrysin prevented α-haemolysin-mediated cell injury and protected mice from Staph. aureus pneumonia.. Chrysin is a potent inhibitor of α-haemolysin expression by Staph. aureus, and it conferred a significant degree of protection against Staph. aureus pneumonia.. The chrysin-mediated inhibition of α-haemolysin production and protection against Staph. aureus pneumonia may offer a new strategy in combating pathogen infections.
