Inhibition Effect of Copper (II) Theophylline Nanocomplex on Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Enzyme Activity in Human Serum of Iraqi Patients with Asthma Disease

Abstract

Copper (II) theophylline [Cu(THP) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] complex in nanoscale has synthesized by ultrasonic sonication method. This method was used in the development of smaller, dispersed, and unaggregated nanoparticles (NPs). The structure of nanocomplex was described and suggested by the molar conductance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), solubility, atomic fire absorption, and C.H.N. elemental analysis as octahedral geometry. The size and morphology of nanocomplex measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were 20 nm. The nanocomplex was studied on phosphodiesterase enzyme activity in human serum of Iraqi patient›s asthma disease. The results showed a highly significant (p < 0.01) increase in the serum levels of phosphodiesterase enzyme activity in asthma patients (mean = 14.939 ± 3.021 ng/mL) compared with a control group (mean = 9.974 ± 2.032 ng/mL). The result also showed a highly significant (p < 0.01) decrease in the serum levels of phosphodiesterase activity in patients of asthma disease with theophylline (mean = 11.253 ± 2.479 ng/mL) compared to serum patients without nano and control groups. It is vital that the result showed a highly significant (p < 0.01) decrease in the serum levels of phosphodiesterase activity in patients of asthma disease with copper nano complex (mean = 9.563 ± 2.082 ng/mL) compared in patients of asthma disease with and without theophylline. As for comparing asthma disease with copper nano complex and control group, the result showed there was no significant effect (p > 0.05).

“…The study of these properties has become increasingly important in chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, and other sciences [15,16]. However, dependable techniques are necessary to use nanomaterials, and this is currently a work in progress [17][18][19][20]. Zinc oxide has a wide range of applications in sensors, optoelectronic devices, and photonic detectors.…”

“…However, in order to exploit nanomaterials, dependable processes are required, and this is still a work in progress [4]. Noble metal nanoparticles have been widely used in a variety of technological applications [5][6][7][8][9][10], and different wet chemical production methods have been documented [11][12][13]. Metal and semiconductor nanoparticles have sparked a lot of attention because of their unique features when compared to their bulk counterparts [14][15][16].…”

Estimation of some Trace Elements in the Sera of People with Myocardial Infarction Disease

“…Essential trace elements are thus referred to as "micronutrients" [12]. Copper (Cu) is an essential element required at physiological levels in humans to maintain some of the most vital operations such as healthy bones, immunity [13], and it found bound to certain proteins and considered key part of the structural integrity and function of these proteins [14][15][16]. Because it's essential for the growth and development of bacteria, plants, and animals, zinc (Zn) is an essential metal for human health.…”
