Setayesh Moradian sarcham 2026بيماري آلزايمر يك بيماري تحليلبرنده عصبي است و اصليترين علت زوال عقل (دمانس) در سراسر جهان به شمار ميرود. تا به امروز درمانهاي موجود براي اين بيماري محدود هستند. يكي از دلايل اين محدوديت، دشواري در درك كامل علل بروز بيماري و همچنين وجود سد خوني–مغزي است، كه يك مرز نيمهتراوا بوده و از ورود مولكولهاي محلول به سيستم عصبي مركزي جلوگيري ميكند. بنابراين، نياز به بررسي رويكردهاي جديد براي هدفگيري دارو به سمت مغز وجود دارد. با وجود محدوديتها و موانع يادشده، تحقيقات در زمينه? انتقال دارو از مسير بيني به مغز به توسعه? پلتفرمهاي اميدبخشي منجر شده است كه از پتانسيل بالايي براي بهبود قابل توجه رسانش دارو به مغز برخوردارند. اين موفقيت از طريق هدفگيري مسيرهاي خاص بيني، بر اساس ويژگيهاي مولكول دارو و سيستم دارورساني، حاصل شده و رسانش مؤثر دارو به بخشهاي مختلف مغز را امكانپذير كرده است. بررسي اين حوزه? مطالعاتي ميتواند به توسعه? سامانههاي جديدتر و كارآمدتري بينجامد كه درمان بيماريهاي CNS را بهطور چشمگيري بهبود ميدهند. در حال حاضر، مهاركنندههاي آنزيم استيلكوليناستراز تأييدشده توسط سازمان غذا و داروي آمريكا براي درمان بيماري آلزايمر شامل donepezil (Dnp)، Rivastigmine (Rv) و galantamine (GLn) هستند. شواهد حاصل از مطالعات حيواني نشان ميدهد كه Rv در نواحي قشر مغز و هيپوكامپ، كه بيشترين تأثير را از بيماري آلزايمر ميپذيرند، مهاركننده? قويتري نسبت به ساير AChEIs است. در سالهاي اخير، نانوذرات كه قادر به انتقال مولكولها از سد خوني–مغزي هستند مورد توجه فراوان قرار گرفتهاند و رويكردي اميدبخش براي رسانش هدفمند دارو به مغز محسوب ميشوند. در اين مطالعه، هدف بر آن است كه نانوذرات كيتوسان اصلاحشده با آرژنين و سيستئين را براي تجويز داخلبيني ريواستيگمين در درمان علامتي بيماري آلزايمر سنتز و شناسايي كنيم. نانوذرات مزاياي خاصي براي دارورساني بيني دارند؛ به دليل اندازه كوچك، نسبت سطح به حجم بالا و توانايي عبور مؤثر از لايه مخاط، اگر بهخوبي طراحي شوند، ميتوانند از سد مخاطي عبور كنند، از پاك شدن مخاطي جلوگيري كنند و زمان ماندگاري دارو در محل جذب را افزايش دهند، كه شانس انتقال به مغز را بالا ميبرد. در اين زمينه، كيتوسان بهعنوان پليمر پايه جذاب انتخاب شده است به دليل ويژگيهايي مانند زيستسازگاري عالي، زيست تجزيه پذيري، خواص مخاط چسبي، سميت پايين و توانايي در باز كردن موقت اتصالات محكم بين سلولهاي اپيتليال. براي تقويت بيشتر چسبندگي مخاطي و نفوذپذيري، كيتوسان را بهصورت شيميايي با آرژنين و سيستئين اصلاح كرديم؛ آرژنين گروههاي كاتيوني اضافي فراهم ميكند كه تعامل الكترواستاتيكي با مخاط منفي بيني را تقويت ميكند، در حالي كه سيستئين گروههاي تيول معرفي ميكند كه قادر به تشكيل پيوند ديسولفيدي با گليكوپروتئينهاي مخاط هستند و در نتيجه زمان ماندگاري و نفوذ از اپيتليوم بيني را بهبود ميبخشند. براي تأييد اتصال موفق آمينواسيدها به اسكلت كيتوسان، آزمونها و تكنيكهاي مشخصه يابي مختلف به كار گرفته شدند، سپس بهينهسازي پارامترهاي فرمولاسيون و بررسي الگوي رهايش دارو از نانوذرات اصلاحشده انجام گرديد. انتظار ميرود اين سامانه نانوذرهاي كيتوسان اصلاحشده با آرژنين و سيستئين بهعنوان يك حامل كارآمد و زيستسازگار براي تجويز داخل بيني ريواستيگمين عمل كند و زيستدسترسپذيري و اثربخشي درماني آن را در درمان علامتي بيماري آلزايمر بهبود دهد، و همچنين باعث كاهش عوارض جانبي ريواستيگمين شود، با امكان استفاده از دوزهاي درماني پايينتر، هدفگيري بهتر به مغز و كاهش توزيع سيستميك.

Interaction of Deferoxamine and its iron oxide nano-formulated with HSA and calf thymus DNA and their anticancer effects
Abolfazl Goodarzi 2026Background and Aim: The interaction of drugs and nanodrugs with biological macromolecules such as human serum albumin (HSA) and DNA plays a crucial role in their stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy. Previous studies have shown that deferoxamine, in addition to its clinical applications as an iron chelator, exhibits notable anticancer effects, and nanostructuring can enhance its stability and biological performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions of free deferoxamine and its iron oxide nanoparticle form with HSA and calf thymus DNA, and subsequently to evaluate their anticancer effects on gastric cancer cells. Materials and Methods: The interactions of the drug and nanodrug with HSA and calf thymus DNA were analyzed using UV–Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD). Molecular docking studies were also performed to determine precise binding sites. Cellular assays, including MTT, intracellular ROS measurement, cell cycle analysis, and apoptosis evaluation, were conducted to assess anticancer effects on gastric cancer cell lines. Results: Spectroscopic and molecular docking results indicated that both compounds bind to the warfarin site on HSA and preferentially interact with the minor groove (Hoechst site) of DNA. CD spectra revealed an increase in the ?-helix content of HSA in the presence of both compounds, while structural disorder was induced in DNA. Cellular assays demonstrated significant reductions in cell viability, increased ROS production, induction of apoptosis, and cell cycle disruption, with the anticancer effect of the deferoxamine nanodrug being notably stronger than that of the free drug. Conclusion and Discussion: The results of spectroscopic and docking studies showed that free deferoxamine and its iron oxide nanoparticle form exhibit similar interaction patterns with HSA and calf thymus DNA, binding to the warfarin site in HSA and the minor groove of DNA. Cellular assays further revealed that the nanodrug exerts stronger reductions in cell viability, higher ROS production, greater apoptosis induction, and more pronounced cell cycle disruption in gastric cancer cells, indicating enhanced anticancer effects at the nanoscale.

Samaneh Moradi 2025Abstract: In this thesis, simple and novel nano probes were synthesized for the fluorescence-electrochemical detection of Tau protein in Alzheimer’s disease. Chapter 1: This introductory chapter is intended to give a basic overview of the current understanding of CDs and their properties, CDs fluorescent sensing mechanism, ratiometric sensing, and different types of CDs mechanisms. Chapter 2: Dual-emissive CDs were synthesized by incorporating blue-emitting and red-emitting carbon dots. These CDs served as a ratiometric probe for the detection of Tau protein in AD. The resulting material displayed dual emissions with peaks at 502 nm and 634 nm when excited at 410 nm. Consequently, a novel detection method for the Tau protein utilizing the NCND@GO/S.CD@ssDNA sensor was established, featuring detection limits of 1 nM to 50 nM (LOD=5 pM). As a ratiometric fluorescent sensor, NCND@GO/S.CD@ssDNA exhibited remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of Tau protein in AD. Chapter 3: Reports the fabrication of a sensitive label-free immunosensor for Tau protein based on the Ag NWs and S.CD using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The response of the fabricated immunosensor was proportional to the Tau protein concentration, demonstrating linearity within the range of 70 fg/ml to 70 µg/ml, with a low detection limit (LOD=0.05 pg/ml). The immunosensor also exhibited superior stability, selectivity, and reproducibility. Keywords: Dual-mode immunosensor, dual-emissive CDs, GO, FRET, Ag nanowire, Alzheimer's Disease, Tau protein.

A new strategy to design ratiometric selective fluorescent probe by encapsulating carbon dots into metal organic frameworks and its application to detection of metal ions and amino acids
Hadis Angazi 2024Mercury ions are not degradable and their abnormal accumulation in the human body can cause various diseases. It is very important to develop a method with excellent performance to identify mercury ions in the environment. The fluorescent probe has attracted much attention due to its excellent properties (eg, easy operation, low detection limit). Composites of carbon dots and organometallic frameworks are emerging as fluorescent sensors due to their ease of synthesis, high selectivity and sensitivity to analytes. Carbon dots and metal organic frameworks sensors combine the advantages of both carbon dots and metal organic frameworks, including the excellent optical properties of carbon dots and high surface area, tunable porosity, and design capabilities of metal organic frameworks, leading to increased performance. In this work, using composites containing carbon dots and organometallic frameworks along with metal nanoclusters, we designed probes that can detect small amounts of mercury.

Development of efficient antibacterial – antifouling PES nanofiltration membranes based on cinnamon extract and functionalized nanomaterials for wastewater treatment
Maede Gholami veisi 2022In this work, CiE/CPES mixed matrix membrane was synthesized by phase inversion method, which considered two anti-fouling and antibacterial properties. By combining CPES and CiE, both anti-fouling and antibacterial properties were significantly improved in CiE/CPES nanofiltration membrane. In order to characterization of modified membrane, SEM, AFM, ATR – FTIR, WCA and porosity measurement were performed. SEM images showed wider finger-like pores compared to unfilled CPES membrane. AFM images exhibited that the addition of CiE to polymer matrix had a positive effect on reducing the surface roughness and the surface of CiE/CPES membranes at all weight percentages of CiE has been significantly smoothed. BSA used as foulant to evaluate the anti-fouling properties of synthesized membranes. The results showed excellent self-cleaning properties (more than 95%) in all weight percentages of CiE, which indicates the successful embedment of CPES in the membrane. Also, fouling resistance parameters like Rm, Rc, Rp and Rt were evaluated and the results showed improved performance of mixed matrix NF membrane in anti-fouling properties. To confirm the antibacterial properties of CiE, agar diffusion test was investigated. A clear large halo around the CiE was observed for both model bacteria. The average halo radius was 50.98 mm for E. coli and 52.84 mm for S. aureus, which showed better performance compared to other routine studies. In order to check the antibacterial performance of membranes, bacteria suspension immersion test and SEM analysis were investigated. The results showed a significant reduction of bacteria on the surface compared to the control sample, which confirms the excellent performance of CiE in the membrane. To measure the separation performance of the membranes, the BTW rejection was evaluated. The results provided very good efficiency in BTW purification.

Neda Ghasemi 2022Anorganoplatinum(IV) complex containing diorganotinchloride; [PtMe2(SnMe2Cl)Cl(4,4?-Me2bpy)]was synthesized and varieties of techniques including UV-Vis spectroscopy,fluorescence, CD, andmolecular docking were used to examine its interaction with calf thymus DNA invitro. the binding constant for DNA interaction was2.8×104 M-1, which, as compared to known bindingconstants, supports a groove-complex binding mechanism. In fluorometricstudies, evaluating the value of Kq indicate static quenchingmechanism and the values of ?H and ?G indicate that the reaction is endothermicand spontaneous. In addition, since ?H > 0 and ?S > 0, there is ahydrophobic reaction relationship between these two compounds. CD spectra ofDNA revealed no significant change in the intensity of both its negative andpositive bands. As the largestprotein in the blood vessel system, human serum albumin (HSA) regulates manychemical compounds and molecules' tra ort, the interaction between humanserum albumin with different concentration of the complex [PtMe2(SnMe2Cl)Cl(4,4?-Me2bpy)]was investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence, CD, and moleculardocking techniques. A reduction in intrinsicfluorescence of the protein can be observed in the presence of this complex andthe data showed that the interaction mechanism is static. Thermodynamic data, enthalpy(-125.1 kJmol-1) and entropy (-334.7 Jmol-1K-1)indicate hydrogen bond and van der waals force are the main forces. The UV-Visspectrum shows that HSA conformation changes when the complex Pt(IV) is bound toit, and the CD spectrum shows changes in its alpha helical structure after its interaction.In addition, in order to detect the junction of the complex based on thejunction constant kb at room temperature, it was concluded that thecomplex is attached to site II based on the values obtained from the junctionconstant kb.

Intraction studies of binuclear cobalt(II) complex containing dipicolinate ligand with biomacromolecules using multispectroscopic and computational methods.
Ahmad Akbari 2022In this study, new binuclear cobalt(II) complex with the composition of [Co(II)(pydc)(µ-pydc)Co(II)(H2O)5].2H2O, (PYDC=pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) have been synthesized by a new method. The complex was characterised by spectroscopic studies, X-ray diffraction techniques. A binuclear Co(II) complex which exhibits an extended hydrogen bonding network. The coordination environment around Co(II) is distorted octahedral with the cationic portion of 5a centrosymmetric complex with the center of inversion lying on Co(II). There are two crystallographically independent Co(II). This compound consists of asymmetric dimeric units with independent Co(1)/Co(2) centers. The cationic part is formed by a six-coordinate Co(2) with distorted octahedral geometry filled by five terminal waters and one -carboxylate O2 from the anionic portion of the compound. The anionic moiety comprises a distorted octahedral Co(1) with two deprotonated carboxylate moieties as tridentate chelates. The binding interactions of the complex with Calf thymus-deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) have been investigated using absorption and emission spectral techniques. HSA binding interaction studies showed that the binuclear Co(II) complex can quenh the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through static quenching process. In that interaction mechanism, it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by Co(II) complex is a result of the formation of Co(II) complex–HSA association. The ct-DNA binding properties and competitive fluorescence experiment with Hoechst 33258 and methylene blue dye indicated that, this complex binds to ct-DNA through a partial intercalation and groove mode and the binding constant value was calculated using the absorption and emission spectral data. The binding constant value (~10 × 106 mol dm-3) indicate strong binding of metal complex with ct-DNA. The thermodynamic parameters ?G, ?H, and ?S for all interactions at different temperatures (278, 298 and 310 K) were calculated, and the negative value for ?H and ?S indicated that the hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play major roles in Co(II) complex-HSA adduct, while the negative ?H and positive ?S values indicated that electrostatic interactions play main roles in the binding of Co(II) complex to DNA. According to the thermodynamic data, the formation of the Co(II) complex-DNA complex is enthalpy favored while it is entropy disfavored. From the docking calculation for Co(II) complex–HSA, the best docking energy result is picked up from the 16 minimum energy conformers from the 500 runs.

Study of the interaction of copper(II) complex nanoparticles containing 2-(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylamino)cyclohexanol ligand with biomacromolecules byexperimental and computationl methods.
Saeideh Amiri 2021The binding interactions between Cu(II) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated using absorption, emission. Moreover, the interaction of Cu(II) complex with HSA were investigated using absorption, emission. For DNA interaction absorption spectra of Cu(II) complex showed hypochromisms. In fluorimeteric studies, the binding mode of Met and its Cu(II) complex with DNA were studied using Hoechst 33258 and MB as a fluorescence prob, respectively. As an evidence by quenching fluorescence of Hoechst-DNA solution in the presense of increasing amounts of complex, the drug is able to displace the Hoechst 33258 groove binder into DNA completely as to indicate groove binding. The Cu (II) complex can bind with DNA–MB complex and forms a new non fluorescence adduct. Finally all results indicated that Cu(II) complex interact with DNA via groove binding mode and binding affinity of the drug is stronger than that of its cooper complex. HSA interaction with Cu(II) complex cause changes in UV spectra and indicate the formation of an adducts of HSA-Cu (II) complex cause changes in protein conformation. Fluorescence studies showed that the HSA fluorescence intensity was quenched by dynamic quenching and both dynamic and static mechanism for the Cu(II) complex.

Multispectroscopic and molecular modeling approach to investigate the interaction of Zinc(II) complex containing amino alcohol ligand with biomacromoleculs DNA and human serum albumin
Hooria Shafiei 2021The interaction of zinc complex (cis-2-((2-((2-hydroxyethyl)aminoethylamino)benzene-1-ol) dibromo zinc(II)) with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and Human Serum Albumin (HSA) has been studied by using various spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking. The results of fluorescence and UV-vis absorption showed that the complex interacted with ct-DNA via groove binding mode. The fluorimetric investigations indicated that the reaction between the mentioned complex and ct-DNA is exothermic. The changes in the Circular Dichroism spectroscopy (CD) of DNA in the presence of increasing amounts of the complex showed stabilization of the right-handed B form of ct-DNA. Furthermore, the docking results showed that hydrogen bond played an important role in the binding of zinc complex to DNA. In addition, the interaction of zinc complex with HSA was investigated. The results showed that the HSA fluorescence was quenched by zinc complex through static quenching. In addition, the presence of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force was confirmed due to thermodynamic parameters. The molecular docking was used to simulate and predict the binding site of zinc complex to albumin and to authenticate experimental results.

Synthesis of organic magnetic nanoparticles and its application in the removal of dye contaminants in the textile industry.
Sharare Norozi 2021Abstract The making dyes and dyeing industries have a long history. Many consumer products are dyed in advanced societies in order to have a beautiful appearance, general attractiveness and acceptance for final consumption. Dyes are considered as micro-pollutants in aquatic ecosystems due to their low concentration (nanogerams to microgerams per liter). Dyes typically contain one or more benzene rings that can be carcinogenic due to their toxicity and degradability. If these dyes enter the environment, they cause irreparable damage. Therefore, dye treatment of wastewater is a major concern for the environment. In this project, after synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles of iron (magnetite) by co-precipitation method and coating them with some organic compounds (such as: palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, etc.) and identifying them by methods (such as FT-IR, SEM, VSM, EDS, XRD, BET and zeta potential), their application in neutral and alkaline environments for the separation of Direct Red 16 and methyl orange anionic dyes and methylene blue cationic dyes of effluent of textile industry effluents was investigated. The results obtained from the experiments showed that among the synthesized nanoparticles, iron oxide with CTAB coating for the two anionic dyes Direct Red 16 and methyl orange with the removal efficiencies of 99.51% and 97.26% in neutral environments, respectively, had the highest efficiency. For methylene blue cationic dye, iron oxide nanoparticles with oleic acid coating with 99.02% showed the highest dye removal in alkaline medium. Also, the stability of nanoparticles up to at least 5 consecutive uses without significant activity loss for Direct Red 16 dye was observed in this project. Keywords: Magnetic Nanoparticles (Magnetite), Surface Adsorption, Direct Red 16 Dye, Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue, Wastewater Treatment of Textile Industries.

Core/shell quantum dots synthesis, spectroscopic studies and analytical applications for the determination of naproxen and naphthalene
Tahereh Shokri 2020Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that have tunable emission through changes in their size. Producing bright, efficient quantum dots with stable fluorescence is important for using them in applications in lighting, photovoltaics, detection, and biological imaging. This study designed to optimize the process for coating CdTe quantum dots with a ZnS to increase their fluorescence and stability and using of CdTe/ZnS for analytical application. Core-shell CdTe/ZnS quantum dots with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as stabilizer were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method in aqueous solution. These quantum dots have advantages compared to usual quantum dots with limited biological applications and high toxicity. Corresponding experimental results revealed that the fluorescence of MPA-TGA-CdTe/ZnS QDs could be effectively quenched by increasing NR and the photo luminescence (PL) of QDs was into turn –off, the static quenching was quenching mechanism that occurred between NR and QDs. After the addition of Naproxen, the strong covalent conjugation between NR and Naproxen allowed NR to form more stable complex with Naproxen, and separated from the surface of MPA-TGA-CdTe/ZnS QDs, thus, the QDs turned-on and the fluorescence intensity of QDs recovered .The detection limits of naproxen was 5.12×10-6mol.l-1 .The interactions of Naproxen , neutral red (NR) and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) capped MPA-TGA-CdTe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) made a solid base for the controlling of the fluorescent reversible of QDs. This research characterized by means of Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet–visible absorption, fluorescence (FL), spectroscopy and High Resolution transmission electron microscopy.
