Fabrication of antimicrobial curcumin stabilized platinum nanoparticles and their anti-liver fibrosis activity for potential use in nursing care

摘要

Platinum and Curcumin conjugation using green chemistry is an attempt to enhance the curcumin effectiveness as an anti-fibrosis. In this study, Platinum and curcumin were conjugated to direct curcumin into the liver. Curcumin platinum nanoparticles (C-PtNPs) were formed by changing curcumin concentration at pH 10. The successful formation of C-PtNPs was recognized with the help of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-visible spectrophotometers. The particle size and morphology were studied with the help of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) respectively. The antimicrobial activity of C-PtNPs, was examined against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Moreover, the NIH/3 T3 cells were used to test the C-PtNPs activity of modifying initial fibrosis indication. The favorable condition for the synthesis of CPt-NPs was by using curcumin 1.5 mM at pH 10. When compared with free curcumin, C-Pt-NPs exhibited higher activity for decreased production of collagen by NIH/3 T3 cells. Altogether, the formation of C-PtNPs by conjugation of platinum to curcumin is assuring for the curcumin directing to treat the hepatic fibrosis.
