Popis: | In general, the surface functionalization of polymeric nanoparticles is carried out by covalently bounding ligands to the nanoparticle surface. This process can cause a lack or decrease of the ligand specificity to its target receptor, besides the need of purification steps. We proposed a ligand-metal-chitosan-lecithin complex as a new strategy to functionalize the surface of biodegradable nanoparticles. One pot synthesis of scFv anti-LDL(−)-functionalized nanocapsules was carried out by self-assembly and interfacial reactions. Particle sizing techniques, lipid peroxidation and molecular recognition by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assays were carried out. The selected formulation had unimodal size distribution with mean diameter of about 130 nm. The metals in the complex did not enhance the oxidative stress, and the scFv anti-LDL(−)-functionalized nanocapsules recognized LDL(−) and did not react with native LDL indicating the maintenance of the active site of the fragment. The one pot synthesis, using the ligand-metal-chitosan-lecithin complex to functionalize the surface of the biodegradable nanocapsules, maintained the active site of the antibody fragment making the device interesting for applications in nanomedicine. |
