Preparation and Characterization of Tadpole- and Sphere-Shaped Hemin Nanoparticles for Enhanced Solubility

Abstract: Hemin is a potent iron supplement. A major limitation of the applicability of hemin is its extremely low aqueous solubility and bioavailability. The aim of this work is to prepare hemin nanoparticles with improved solubility. Tra nsmission electron microscopic images showed that hemin nanoparticles with different initial concentrations of hemin (0.1 and 0.5 mg/mL) were tadpole-shaped (head of approximately 200 nm and tail of 100 nm) and sphere-shaped (50–100 nm), respectively. Moreover, … Show more

“…During the self-assembly of H@Gd-NCPs, Hemin was uniformly integrated into Gd-NCPs via its carboxyl groups and conjugated π bonds, effectively avoiding the self-stacking and maintaining catalytic activity. Actually, Hemin could be found in blood and meat products and is widely used as oral iron supplement 60 . With the help of H 2 O 2 , H@Gd-NCPs enhanced the peroxidase-like enzymatic activity of Hemin and exhibited better GSH depletion ability than free Hemin (Fig.…”

“…50 The FT-IR spectra also demonstrate the high content of hemin in MMN(HT). As shown in Figure S4, the unique peaks representing hemin molecules were observed strongly in MMN(HT), [51][52][53] F I G U R E 2 C1s peaks of A, MMN(LT); B, MMN(RT); and C, MMN(HT); and N1s peaks of D, MMN(LT); E, MMN(RT); and F, MMN(HT), measured by XPS whereas those vaguely appeared in MMN(LT) and MMT (RT). Shortly, the hemin content in MMN(HT) is higher than that of MMN(LT) and MMN(RT), meaning the high-temperature environment induced the strong bond between hemin and PEI as the results of Figure 3A.…”

“…However, the high hydrophobicity owing to the large macrocycle of tetrapyrrole and the low solubility in the neutral aqueous phase hinders the biomedical use of hemin. 166 Specifically, for bone tissue engineering, how to load hemin onto the scaffold with high biological activity and utilization rate is an urgent problem to solve. 167 Using PDLLA as a medium, Dang et al 12 successfully integrated hemin particles and DOX into 3D-printed bioglass scaffolds.…”
