The Effects of Nanodiamonds at the Action of Colored Metal Ions on the Skin of Guinea Pigs

Abstract

The protective effect of modified nanodiamonds (MND) under the action of cobalt and nickel ions on the skin of Guinea pigs was shown. At the action of chromium ions on the skin of animals, the protective effect of MND was not found. The differences are related to different adsorption properties of MND to the investigated colored metal ions. It is shown in vitro that MND can adsorb ions of cobalt and nickel and don’t bind ions of chromium from aqueous medium. The perspectives using of MND as a new drug for the prevention allergic dermatitis caused by action of bivalent ions of metals are discussed.
