Popis: It has been shown that encapsulation of dietary polyphenols leads to increased solubility and bioavailability of these micronutrients. The encapsulation of dietary polyphenols resveratrol, genistein, and curcumin by folic acid-PAMAM-G3 and folic acid-PAMAM-G4 nanoparticles was studied in aqueous solution at physiological conditions, using multiple spectroscopic methods, TEM images, and docking studies. The polyphenol bindings are via hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and H-bonding contacts with resveratrol forming more stable conjugates. As folic acid-PAMAM nanoparticle size increased, the loading efficacy and the stability of polyphenol-polymer conjugates were increased. Polyphenol encapsulation induced major alterations of dendrimer morphology. Folic acid-PAMAM nanoconjugates are capable of delivery of polyphenols in vitro.
