Project description:SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as catalyst supports, absorbents, drug delivery materials, etc. Since it has a lack of functionality, heteroatoms and organic functional groups have been incorporated by direct or post-synthesis methods in order to modify their functionality. The aim of this article is to review the state-of-the-art related to the use of SBA-15-based mesoporous systems as supports for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts.

Project description:In this study mesoporous silica SBA-15 was evaluated as a vehicle for the transport of cytotoxic natural product emodin (EO). SBA-15 was loaded with different quantities of EO (SBA-15|EO1⁻SBA-15|EO5: 8⁻36%) and characterized by traditional methods. Several parameters (stabilities) and the in vitro behavior on tumor cell lines (melanoma A375, B16 and B16F10) were investigated. SBA-15 suppresses EO release in extremely acidic milieu, pointing out that EO will not be discharged in the stomach. Furthermore, SBA-15 protects EO from photodecomposition. In vitro studies showed a dose dependent decrease of cellular viability which is directly correlated with an increasing amount of EO in SBA-15 for up to 27% of EO, while a constant activity for 32% and 36% of EO in SBA-15 was observed. Additionally, SBA-15 loaded with EO (SBA-15|EO3) does not disturb viability of peritoneal macrophages. SBA-15|EO3 causes inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and triggers apoptosis, connected with caspase activation, upregulation of Bax, as well as Bcl-2 and Bim downregulation along with amplification of poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) cleavage fragment. Thus, the mesoporous SBA-15 is a promising carrier of the water-insoluble drug emodin.

Project description:Silanized iminodiacetic acid (GLYMO-IDA) modified mesoporous silica (G-SBA) was prepared following a co-condensation method. G-SBA/Cu2+, G-SBA/Zn2+ and G-SBA/Cu2+-Zn2+ were obtained through the impregnation method with coordination by GLYMO-IDA. SBA/CuO, SBA/ZnO, and SBA/CuZnO were generated after calcination of G-SBA/Cu2+, G-SBA/Zn2+ and G-SBA/Cu2+-Zn2+. After modification, the amount of metal ion was 6 to 70 times higher than that of the blank mesoporous silica. The diameter of nano-copper oxide particles in mesoporous silica was 4.8 nm. The bacteriostatic rates of SBA/CuO at a copper oxide concentration of 250 ppm against E. coli and S. aureus were 85.87% and 100%, respectively. SBA/CuO and SBA/CuZnO with {111} lattice planes exhibited better antibacterial effects compared to the commercial-grade nano-zinc oxide and nano-copper oxide. When exposed to ultraviolet light, SBA/CuZnO displayed the highest photocatalytic activity and optimal antimicrobial effect. Therefore, SBA/CuZnO can be an alternative to antibiotics because of its non-toxic nature and good antibacterial properties.

Project description:For decades, local bone drug delivery systems have been investigated in terms of their application in regenerative medicine. Among them, inorganic polymers based on amorphous silica have been widely explored. In this work, we combined two types of amorphous silica: bioglass and doxycycline-loaded mesoporous silica MCM-41 into the form of spherical granules (pellets) as a bifunctional bone drug delivery system. Both types of silica were obtained in a sol-gel method. The drug adsorption onto the MCM-41 was performed via adsorption from concentrated doxycycline hydrochloride solution. Pellets were obtained on a laboratory scale using the wet granulation-extrusion-spheronization method and investigated in terms of physical properties, drug release, antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, mineralization properties in simulated body fluid, and cytotoxicity towards human osteoblasts. The obtained pellets were characterized by satisfactory mechanical properties which eliminated the risk of pellets cracking during further investigations. The biphasic drug release from pellets was observed: burst stage (44% of adsorbed drug released within the first day) followed by prolonged release with zero-order kinetics (estimated time of complete drug release was 19 days) with maintained antimicrobial activity. The progressive biomimetic apatite formation on the surface of the pellets was observed. No cytotoxic effect of pellets towards human osteoblasts was noticed.

Project description:Ce-modified mesoporous silica materials MCM-41 and SBA-15, namely 32 wt % Ce-Si-MCM-41, 16 wt % Ce-H-MCM-41 and 20 wt % Ce-Si-SBA-15, were prepared, characterized and studied in the selective preparation of trans-carveol by α-pinene oxide isomerization. The characterizations of these catalysts were performed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and FTIR pyridine adsorption. Selective preparation of trans-carveol was carried out in the liquid phase in a batch reactor. The activity and the selectivity of catalyst were observed to be influenced by their acidity, basicity and morphology of the mesoporous materials. The formation of trans-carveol is moreover strongly influenced by the basicity of the used solvent and in order to achieve high yields of this desired alcohol it is necessary to use polar basic solvent.

Project description:(1) Background: A proposed approach to promote periodontal tissue regeneration in cases of peri-implantitis is the local administration of growth factors at the implant site. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh-BMP-2) can effectively promote bone regeneration and osseointegration and the development of appropriate carriers for its delivery is of paramount importance. The aim of the present study was to develop SBA-15 mesoporous nanoparticles (MSNs) with varying porosity, evaluate their biocompatibility with human Periodontal Ligament Cells (hPDLCs) and to investigate their effectiveness as carriers of rh-BMP-2. (2) Methods: SBA-15 type mesoporous silicas were synthesized via sol-gel reaction. The calcined SBA-15 samples were characterized by N2 porosimetry, Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Scanning (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Rh-BMP-2 loading and release kinetics were evaluated by UV spectroscopy. (3) Results: MSNs presented hexagonally arranged, tubular pores of varying length and diameter. Slightly higher loading capacity was achieved for SBA-15 with large pores that presented good hemocompatibility. MTT assay revealed no cytotoxic effects for all the tested materials, while SBA-15 with large pores induced a significant upregulation of cell viability at day 5. (4) Conclusions: SBA-15 MSNs may prove a valuable delivery platform towards the effective release of bone-inducing proteins.

Project description:Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been shown to be promising for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide and has potential for commercial scale-up globally. Laboratory scale processes include multiple steps, such as mixing, solvent extraction, vacuum application, sonication, and various flushes and activation steps. It is critical to properly control these operating parameters to achieve higher capture capacity as a result of the optimized material configuration. This study adopts previously published pelletization processes for PEI-infiltrated mesoporous foam silica (mesoporous silica foam) to uncover the adsorption mechanisms and optimize the associated fabrication steps, such as sonication, to achieve higher sorbent productivity. A high capture capacity was achieved at 46 °C for 75 wt % PEI loading (2.27 mmol/g) followed by PEI_MSF 70 (1.81 mmol/g) and PEI_MSF 80 (1.44 mmol/g). As part of the optimization, sonication parameters of frequency, amplitude, and time were modified for PEI_MSF 75 sorbent, which resulted in the highest uptake capacity of 3.04 mmol/g (sonicated at 40 kHz and a wave amplitude of 50% for 30 s). These preliminary results would tend to prove that sonication energy affects carbon capture capacity, although there is still a lack of understanding regarding the exact underlying mechanism, suggesting the need for further investigation. It is important to note that the present work is focused on the adsorption mechanisms and not desorption or durability of the capture performance. Ongoing research addresses these factors. This paper is intended to establish baseline DAC behavior of a promising capture medium and begins probing the optimization spectrum by considering the effects of sonication energy on adsorption. Ongoing work intends to address potential abbreviations of the full range of process steps and furthers the understanding of kinetics by considering the desorption and resorption attributes.

Project description:Xanthohumol (XN) and isoxanthohumol (IXN), prenylated flavonoids from Humulus lupulus, have been shown to possess antitumor/cancerprotective, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antiangiogenic properties. In this study, mesoporous silica (SBA-15) was loaded with different amounts of xanthohumol and isoxanthohumol and characterized by standard analytical methods. The anticancer potential of XN and IXN loaded into SBA-15 has been evaluated against malignant mouse melanoma B16F10 cells. When these cells were treated with SBA-15 containing xanthohumol, an increase of the activity correlated with a higher immobilization rate of XN was observed. Considering the amount of XN loaded into SBA-15 (calculated from TGA), an improved antitumor potential of XN was observed (IC50 = 10.8 ± 0.4 and 11.8 ± 0.5 µM for SBA-15|XN2 and SBA-15|XN3, respectively; vs. IC50 = 18.5 ± 1.5 µM for free XN). The main mechanism against tumor cells of immobilized XN includes inhibition of proliferation and autophagic cell death. The MC50 values for SBA-15 loaded with isoxanthohumol were over 300 µg/mL in all cases investigated.
