This study explores a sustainable alternative: the green synthesis of AgNPs using brewed coffee grounds (BCG). BCG, a readily available agricultural byproduct rich in phenolic compounds, particularly chlorogenic acid, acts as a reducing and capping agent, facilitating the sustainable and efficient reduction of silver ions to AgNPs. The preparation process was optimized by varying the pH (6 and 8), impacting nanoparticle size and morphology. Characterizations using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the formation of crystalline AgNPs with a face-centered cubic structure. The results demonstrate that alkaline conditions (pH 8) yielded smaller, more uniformly distributed AgNPs with superior stability than those prepared at pH 6. This green synthesis method offers a promising approach to producing AgNPs while promoting sustainability and resource efficiency. The study highlights the potential for waste valorization and the development of eco-friendly nanomaterials for various applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"105 3-4","pages":"241 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835607","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}

This platform effectively models the bladder mucosa by facilitating the co-culture of multiple cell types, including human urothelial (SV-HUC) and fibroblast (Hs27) cells. The system was employed to investigate urothelial injury, inflammation, and recovery, with a particular emphasis on the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin in the context of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. The urothelium-on-a-chip system consists of three insert modules for culturing SV-HUC and Hs27 cells, interconnected via microfluidic channels. Single-cell (SV-HUC only) monocultures and multi-cell (SV-HUC and Hs27) co-cultures were established on the urothelium-on-a-chip platform. In both groups, inflammation was induced using LPS (1 µg/mL) for 24 h, followed by treatment with curcumin (10 µM) for an additional 24 h to evaluate its anti-inflammatory effects. Supernatants from the two groups were collected, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were quantified using ELISA. LPS treatment significantly increased IL-1β and IL-6 levels while slightly decreasing TNF-α. The co-culture systems exhibited notably higher levels of all three cytokines than the monoculture, indicating that fibroblast-urothelial interactions enhance the inflammatory response. Curcumin treatment following LPS exposure notably reduced cytokine levels under certain conditions. In the monoculture, curcumin completely suppressed IL-1β but did not induce a significant change in TNF-α and IL-6 levels. However, curcumin notably reduced all three cytokine levels in the co-culture system, highlighting its potential to modulate inflammation in a multi-cellular context. The ability to simulate inflammatory processes and assess treatments like curcumin provides a novel approach to researching bladder disease and screening potential therapies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"105 3-4","pages":"197 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835652","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}

Thus, this study aims to use layered zinc hydroxysalt (LHS) as a slow-release option that provides thermal stability for administering vitamins. Two compounds were synthesized, LHS/B3-1, which presented basal spacing of 9.63 Å, corresponding to a vitamin monolayer, and LHS/B3-2, which is a mixture of two phases, one with a basal distance of 9.92 Å and a secondary one with a basal distance of 15.43 Å, corresponding to a vitamin monolayer and bilayer, respectively. After intercalation, an increase of 175 °C in the thermal stability of vitamin B3 was observed, occasioned by the interaction with the layers of the matrix. Vitamin B3 was slowly released from LHS/B3-1 and LHS/B3-2, and 68.8% and 56.9% were released in 44 h, respectively. The release of the vitamin from LHS/B3-1 and LHS/B3-2 was divided into three stages. The results suggest that surface diffusion is initially involved in the release of B3 from intercalation products, where the anion dissociates from the surface of LHSs, followed by B3 release controlled by a diffusion process via intra-particle or surface diffusion.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":638,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry","volume":"105 1-2","pages":"87 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108941","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}
