This study presents the development of two simple, sensitive, and selective microextraction and preconcentration procedures for determining nicotinamide (NAM) in pharmaceutical formulations and blood samples. The methods utilize the König reaction, where cyanogen chloride, formed by reacting potassium thiocyanate with sodium hypochlorite in acidic...
Abstract
This study introduces a highly sensitive and selective method for detecting caffeine in energy drinks by using red florescence iron and nitrogen co doped carbon dots (Fe-NCDs) as a florescent prob. The Fe-NCDs were synthesized by using an eco-friendly hydrothermal. Providing uniform, quasi-spherical nanoparticles. The photoluminescence pro...
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) constitute one of the most important breakthroughs in biomedicine due to unique and highly beneficial characteristics that essentially include intrinsic fluorescence, high biocompatibility, cost-effective and scalable synthesis, water solubility, nanoscale size, low toxicity, and easy functional modification. Such feature...
The new strategies in this regard of nanotechnology and biotechnology guarantee new, efficient modalities for cancer therapy. In this study, we explore nanobiohybrids, the bacterium-targeted cancer treatment approach that presents a new category of therapeutic carriers for treating cancer. We specifically focus on bacteriomimetics, where bacteria a...
In recent years, the progress in smartphone technology has made them affordable and versatile platforms for various applications, including chemical analysis. This article explores the evolving landscape of smartphone-assisted colorimetry, focusing on its role in the detection of drugs and food coloring. We provide a comprehensive overview of the c...
The green method was developed for synthesizing a low-toxic nanocomposite of AgNPs colliding with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) by hydrothermal treatment (temp., time). The CQDs were prepared by hydrothermal onion juice treatment and then acted as reducing and stabilizing agents to synthesize a nanocomposite of AgNPs colliding with CQDs. In the second...
Gene therapy is a revolutionary technology in healthcare that provides novel therapeutic options and has immense potential in addressing genetic illnesses, malignancies, and viral infections. Nevertheless, other obstacles still need to be addressed regarding safety, ethical implications, and technological enhancement. Nanotechnology and gene therap...
This study examined the heavy metal content in dust storm samples from Erbil, Iraq, along with four other locations. Using ICP-MS, Cd, Ni, Cr, Hg, Pb, Zn, Mn, Cu, Co, Fe and As were determined. The health risks due to exposure to these metals through ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact were assessed for both adults and children. Non-carcinogen...
This article presents an environmentally friendly method of exploiting and recycling waste materials by synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) from natural waste resources. Calcium oxide NPs have been synthesized from chicken eggshells through the sol-gel method. Sol-gel is a simple, cheap, low-temperature and low-pressure method for synthesizing metal o...
Novel spectrophotometric and smartphone-based colorimetric methods were developed and validated for the estimation of atenolol (ATE) in pharmaceutical formulations. The measurement procedure is based on the de-diazotization reaction, in which ATE is able to inhibit the diazotized sulfanilic acid from reacting with 8-hydroxy quinoline (8-HQ) in a ba...
A green and simple method was proposed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPLs) on novel activated carbon (AC) using glucose and dextrin as reducer and stabilizer of silver ions. Semecarpus anacardium (SA) nutshells, an agricultural waste, were used as precursors to prepare low-cost activated carbon (AC) with a high surface area by chemic...
The risk to human health from heavy metals is primarily associated with the consumption of foodstuffs that are contaminated with these metals. This study aimed to assess the health risks associated with the consumption of toxic metal-contaminated legumes in Erbil, Iraq. The concentrations of 14 metals, namely cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cop...
This study used a hydrothermal approach to create a sensitive and focused nanoprobe. Using an “on-of-on” sensing mechanism, the nanoprobe was employed to detect and quantify ferric ions and L-ascorbic acid. Synthesis of the carbon quantum dots was achieved with a single hydrothermal step at 180° C for 24 hours using hot pepper as the starting mater...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered a lethal cancer all around the world, and its incidence has been reported to be increasing. Chemotherapeutic drugs commonly used for treating this cancer have shown some drawbacks, including toxicity to healthy cells and non-precise delivery. Thus, there is a necessity for discovering novel diagnostic and thera...
Recently, solvothermal technique was used to explore and construct 3D(micro/nano)V2O5 growth on (M-PSi) as a sensing gate for the pH EG-FET device. The sensor has high sensitivity and a linear response in the pH range of 2–12, as well as relatively high hysteresis. However, around pH 12, the membrane gradually degrades and redox species in solution...
A heterostructure of (Au-NPs/MacroPSi) was synthesized by filtering a colloidal of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) into MacroPSi layer using high voltage electrophoretic deposition (HVEPD). The aim of that is to enhance the performance of MacroPSi used as a pH-EGFET sensor. For this purpose, the MacroPSi with an average pore size of 1.388 μm was synthe...
In this work, a novel strategy was addressed to fabricate new sensing probe ([email protected]) from nitrogen doped carbon dots (N-CDs) confined in Al-free ferrisilicates zeolite (NaFZ) by hydrothermal/solvothermal method. The probe was systematically characterized by HR-TEM, FTIR, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), powder X-ray diffraction, and UV–Vis...
A new colorimetric aptasensor equipped with a novel composite of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets and copper oxide(I) (Cu2O) nanocrystals is presented for Salmonella typhimurium (S .typhimurium). The dual-purpose structure of this composite simultaneously contributes to superb peroxidase-like activity and interaction with a label-free a...
The drawbacks of using an enzymatic assay as a traditional protocol for glucose include cost, time consumption, instability, and denaturation of glucose oxidase. Recently, glucose sensing with the aid of boronic acid-based molecules and their derivatives has been developed as an alternative tool to commonly used methods. In this work, a simple sing...
The magnitude of the risks in the face of the COVID-19 disease is increasing every day, and foreshadowing a catastrophe facing humanity. It is clear, the levels of health services in different countries around the world are very different, therefore there will be many health risks in countries that are suffering in terms of health services. The obj...
