Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammation, resulting in a global healthcare challenge with no real specific medicine. Natural medicines are recognized as a potential clinical alternative therapy, but their applications are limited by poor solubility and low bioavailability. Results In this work, inspired by the natural medicines of ancient China, novel functional carbon dots derived from Magnetite and Medicated Leaven (MML-CDs) were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and confirmed their ultrasmall nano-size (3.2 ± 0.6 nm) and Fe doped surface structure, thereby with excellent gastrointestinal stability, remarkable capabilities in eliminating ROS, and highly biocompatibility. With no external stimuli, the oral administration of MML-CDs demonstrated obvious alleviation to UC. Further experiments pointed that MML-CDs could improve hemostasis capability, suppress inflammation reactions and oxidative stress, and up-regulate the expression of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, MML-CDs also showed well regulation in the dysbiosis of intestinal flora. Conclusion Overall, above evidence reveals that green-synthesized MML-CDs can significantly alleviate intestinal bleeding, inhibit colon inflammation, and repair colonic barrier damage, further regulating intestinal flora and intestinal inflammation microenvironment. Our findings provide an efficient oral administration of MML-CDs as a novel therapy strategy for ulcerative colitis. Graphical Abstract

Aim. Carbon particles have been widely used in different technologies and have great potential for new biological application. Synthesis of carbon particles from agricultural waste using “green” principles is in the mainstream of biotechnology area and attract a great attention in biomedical application. Here, coarse carbon particles (CCPs) were synthesized using “green” principles from dry apple and used in the biological experiments without preliminary functionalization. Methods. Neurotoxic features of CCPs were analysed in isolated presynaptic cortex nerve terminals (synaptosomes) monitoring the extracellular levels of excitatory neurotransmitter L-[14C] glutamate and inhibitory one [3H]GABA, as well as the membrane potential. Results. Measuring the membrane potential of the nerve terminals, it was revealed an inadequate decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the potential-dependent dye rhodamine 6G in the presence of CCPs (1 mg/ml). This decrease was not due to membrane hyperpolarisation because CCPs did not change the extracellular synaptosomal levels of L-[14C] glutamate and [3H]GABA. CCP-induced decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the dye in nerve terminals can be due to its interaction with CCPs. Indeed, the ability of CCPs to interact with rhodamine 6G was shown in synaptosome-free incubation media. Conclusions. Therefore, CCPs did not possess neurotoxic signs, and so are biocompatible. In both experiments, i.e. without bio object and in biological system, CCPs were able to interact with fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G. In prospect, this feature of CCPs can be used in biotechnology after further investigation of dye interaction conditions.
