Nipagin-Functionalized Porphyrazine and Phthalocyanine-Synthesis, Physicochemical Characterization and Toxicity Study after Deposition on Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles P25.

ABSTRACT: Aza-porphyrinoids exhibit distinct spectral properties in UV-Vis, and they are studied in applications such as photosensitizers in medicine and catalysts in technology. The use of appropriate peripheral substituents allows the modulation of their physicochemical properties. Phthalocyanine and sulfanyl porphyrazine octa-substituted with 4-(butoxycarbonyl)phenyloxy moieties were synthesized and characterized using UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry. A comparison of porphyrazine with phthalocyanine aza-porphyrinoids revealed that phthalocyanine macrocycle exhibits higher singlet oxygen generation quantum yields, reaching the value of 0.29 in DMF. After both macrocycles had been deposited on titanium dioxide nanoparticles P25, the cytotoxicities and photocytotoxicities of the prepared materials were studied using a Microtox® acute toxicity test. The highest cytotoxicity occurred after irradiation with a red light for the material composed of phthalocyanine deposited on titania nanoparticles.

Project description:BackgroundNanotechnology is indispensable to many different applications. Although nanoparticles have been widely used in, for example, cosmetics, sunscreen, food packaging, and medications, they may pose human safety risks associated with nanotoxicity. Thus, toxicity testing of nanoparticles is essential to assess the relative health risks associated with consumer exposure.MethodsIn this study, we identified the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) of the agglomerated/aggregated TiO2 P25 (approximately 180 nm) administered at repeated doses to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats for 28 and 90 days. Ten of the 15 animals were necropsied for toxicity evaluation after the repeated-dose 90-day study, and the remaining five animals were allowed to recover for 28 days. The agglomerated/aggregated TiO2 P25 dose levels used included 250 mg kg- 1 d- 1 (low), 500 mg kg- 1 d- 1 (medium), and 1000 mg kg- 1 d- 1 (high), and their effects were compared with those of the vehicle control. During the treatment period, the animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs (detailed daily and weekly clinical observations), functional observation battery, weekly body weight, and food and water consumption and were also subjected to ophthalmological examination and urinalysis. After termination of the repeated-dose 28-day, 90-day, and recovery studies, clinical pathology (hematology, blood coagulation time, and serum biochemistry), necropsy (organ weights and gross findings), and histopathological examinations were performed.ResultsNo systemic toxicological effects were associated with the agglomerated/aggregated TiO2 P25 during the repeated-dose 28-day, 90-day, and recovery studies in SD rats. Therefore, the NOAEL of the agglomerated/aggregated TiO2 P25 was identified as 1000 mg kg- 1 d- 1, and the substance was not detected in the target organs.ConclusionSubacute and subchronic oral administration of the agglomerated/aggregated TiO2 P25 was unlikely to cause side effects or toxic reactions in rats.

Project description:A potentially useful means of predicting the pulmonary risk posed by new forms of nano-structured titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) is to use the associations between the physicochemical properties and pulmonary toxicity of characterized forms of TiO2. In the present study, we conducted intratracheal administration studies in rats to clarify the associations between the physicochemical characteristics of seven characterized forms of TiO2 and their acute or subacute pulmonary inflammatory toxicity. Examination of the associations between the physicochemical characteristics of the TiO2 and the pulmonary inflammatory responses they induced revealed (1) that differences in the crystallinity or shape of the TiO2 particles were not associated with the acute pulmonary inflammatory response; (2) that particle size was associated with the acute pulmonary inflammatory response; and (3) that TiO2 particles coated with Al(OH)3 induced a greater pulmonary inflammatory response than did non-coated particles. We separated the seven TiO2 into two groups: a group containing the six TiO2 with no surface coating and a group containing the one TiO2 with a surface coating. Intratracheal administration to rats of TiO2 from the first group (i.e., non-coated TiO2) induced only acute pulmonary inflammatory responses, and within this group, the acute pulmonary inflammatory response was equivalent when the particle size was the same, regardless of crystallinity or shape. In contrast, intratracheal administration to rats of the TiO2 from the second group (i.e., the coated TiO2) induced a more severe, subacute pulmonary inflammatory response compared with that produced by the non-coated TiO2. Since alteration of the pulmonary inflammatory response by surface treatment may depend on the coating material used, the pulmonary toxicities of coated TiO2 need to be further evaluated. Overall, the present results demonstrate that physicochemical properties may be useful for predicting the pulmonary risk posed by new nano-TiO2 materials.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the toxic effects of three different titanium dioxide nanoparticles encoded in the European nanomaterial repository as NM-103 (rutile, hydrophobic), NM-104 (rutile, hydrophilic), and NM-105 (anatase/rutile, hydrophilic), suggesting different toxic potentials after uptake in the lungs. Wistar rats were exposed by nose-only inhalation to aerosol concentrations of 3, 12 and 48 mg/m3 for 4 weeks. This dosing scheme should induce non, partial and complete lung overload. The 4-week inhalation period was followed by 3-, 45- and 94-day exposure-free periods. Investigations according to the OECD 412 guideline were performed. Additional examinations, such as transmission electron microscopy and image analysis of tissue slides and cytospots, were performed to reveal possible differences among the three particle types.ResultsBronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the groups exposed to low concentrations of NM-103 or NM-104 presented slight inflammation. In the mid- and high-exposure groups, this was also present for the NM-105 group, however, weaker than those of NM-103 and NM-104. Histologically, all three groups presented similar distributions of particles in the respiratory tract. Although marginal differences in the degree of some changes exist, no obvious differences in the degree or characteristics of the induced lesions were observable. In general, compared with the higher exposure groups, all the middle exposure groups presented a greater accumulation and aggregation of macrophages at the terminal bronchi. Using transmission electron microscopy, particles were detected mainly in intraalveolar macrophages, followed by type 1 pneumocytes in the low- and mid-concentration groups and intraalveolar free particles in the high-concentration groups. Compared with the other groups, the NM-103 group presented greater numbers of free particles in the alveoli and fewer in the macrophages. With image analysis, the movement of particles to the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue and lymph nodes could be detected comparably for the three different particle types.ConclusionsThe no observed adverse effect concentration was 3 mg/m3 for all three different TiO2 particles. Despite minimal differences, a ranking mainly based on granulocyte influx into the lung was NM-104 > NM-103 > NM-105.
