Synthesis and Optimization of Deesterified Acacia‐Alginate Nanohydrogel for Amethopterin Delivery

Abstract

Naturally obtained materials are preferable for the production of biomedicine in biomedical applications. Acacia gum is has recently become a hopeful one in the biomedicine production due to its excellent properties, namely, emulsifier, stabilizing mediator, suspending agent, etc. In this novel work, we synthesised and characterized the deesterified Acacia gum-alginate nanohydrogel (DEA-AG NPs) as a carrier for amethopterin (ATN) delivery. This combination is used in the drug effectiveness and tissue engineering. In this work, the Taguchi route is implemented for estimating of particle size and zeta potential (mV) through optimization. Following three parameters are considered for this work: DEA solution concentration (0.008, 0.016, 0.024, and 0.032 w/v %), alginate molecular weight (3, 6, 9, and 12 MW), and ATN/DEA ratio (1 : 4, 1 : 8, 1 : 12, and 1 : 16 w/w %). In particle size analysis and zeta potential analysis, the DEA solution concentration is highly influenced. Minimum particle size is found as 148.50 nm. Similarly, maximum zeta potential is identified as 29.5 mV.

A review on the synthesis and development of alginate hydrogels for wound therapy

“…139 Sodium alginate hydrogel can load peptides, borax, aloe solution, vitamin E, cyclic adenosine monophosphate and Raphanus sativus L. seed extract in a relatively simple way. 56,90,[140][141][142] Some researchers used sodium alginate oxidized by iodized salt to react with gelatin in situ to form a hydrogel, and introduced borax and cyclic adenosine monophosphate before gel formation. Studies have shown that sodium alginate hydrogel can load a variety of drugs in a relatively simple way.…”

Influence of Methods of Nanomaterial Testing on Product Supply and an IoT‐Based Solution for Making a Perfect Choice

“…People adopted hearing aid by online market too. Hence, this paper analyses the influence of such practice in the response on human voice [51,52]. All the samples considered are the self-fitting hearing aid users.…”
