- Abstract
Four of the crosslinked sodium alginate and polyacrylic acid biopolymers based nanoscale metal natural polysaccharides, [M(AG-PAA)Cl(H2O)3], where M = Co(II), Cu(II), Mn(II) and Ni(II), AG = sodium alginate and PAA = polyacrylic acid, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Because of their numerous biological and pharmacological activities of polysaccharides, including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, antiviral, antioxidant, hypoglycemic and anticoagulant activities, polysaccharides are one of the near-promising candidates in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. The complexity of the polymeric compounds has been verified by carbon and nitrogen analysis, magnetic and conductance measurements, FT-IR spectra, electronic spectral analysis and thermal analysis (DTA, TG). All the synthesized complexes were non-electrolytes with magnetic moments ranging from 1.74 to 5.94 BM. The polymeric complexes were found to be of octahedral geometry. The developed coordination polymeric was found to be crystalline using X-ray powder diffraction examinations, which is confirmed by the SEM analysis. As a result, the crystallite size of all polymeric nanocrystals was in the range of 14 - 69 nm. The test of four compounds exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungal Candida albicans. Using DPPH as a substrate, studies on radical scavenging tests are carried out. The findings demonstrated the antioxidant activities of each complex. In addition, results showed that the two chosen polymeric complexes had a good ability to kill cancer cells in a dose-dependent way. The copper(II) polymeric complex showed to its superior functionality as evidenced by microbial activity. After 72 h of interaction with the normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A), the synthesized polymeric compounds of Cu(II) and Co(II) showed exceptional cytocompatibility with the different applied doses. Compared to poly-AG/PAA/Co(II), poly-AG/PAA/Cu(II) exhibits a greater anticancer potential at various polymeric dosages.
