TQ encapsulation, loading capacity, and release behavior of E-SLNs were also investigated. In vivo biodistribution studies were conducted to assess TQ delivery and accumulation in several organs of female Wistar rats. The TQ-encapsulated E-SLNs were mostly spherical with a crystalline structure and extremely stable in the physiological buffer system. The highest content of TQ was released in pH 5.5 (78.215 ± 0.749%) at 22 h. The pharmacokinetics and biodistribution investigations revealed that released TQ from TQ-encapsulated E-SLNs after 48 h of administration accumulated 16.5 ± 1.5% in brain, 21.167 ± 1.041% in kidneys, 12.125 ± 0.781% in heart, 16.375 ± 1.317% in liver, 13.5 ± 1.8% in lungs, and 17.15 ± 1.5%. Later, molecular modeling studies revealed that TQ had a greater binding energy of -7.8 kcal/mol to EGFR. Thymoquinone binding energy was very close to the reference drug Temozolomide. Molecular dynamics simulation studies showed that the TQ-EGFR docked complex was extremely stable up to 100 ns. The findings showed that the fabricated TQ-encapsulated E-SLNs remained unchanging in circulation for up to five days. Therefore, E-SLNs fabrications show promise as a method for targeting brain malignancies across the BBB.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cluster Science","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure, chemical and phase composition of Fe-NaCl condensates with different iron contents, crystallite dimensions (nanoparticles) and nanoparticle surface areas depending on the condensation temperature, which characterize the sorption capacity, primarily for moisture and oxygen, were studied. Finally, the gravimetric analysis method was used to investigate the kinetics of the relative change in the weight of porous Fe–NaCl condensates with different iron contents, depending on the condensation temperature. With increasing synthesis temperature, the nanoparticle size increases, and the specific surface area decreases. Therefore, by changing the size of the nanoparticles at the same volume, we can regulate the ratio of the nanoparticle surface to the nanoparticle volume, i.e., change the properties of the reaction surface and, in this way, the contribution of the excess surface energy to the total free energy of the system. The mass fraction of physically adsorbed and bound oxygen (moisture) correlates with the size (area, surface) of the nanoparticles.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div><div><p>Sorption of oxygen and water by EB PVD ligand-free Fe@Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticle in open matrix nanopore</p></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cluster Science","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
