摘要

The nanocomposite (Bioactive glass (BG)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-chitosan) nanocomposite was synthesized using simple and effective sol-gel and wet chemical techniques. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results exhibited the particle size of 10.7 and 12.3 nm for BG-AuNPs and BG-AuNPs-chitosan nanocomposites, respectively. The interaction between BG, AuNPs, and chitosan was discussed using various physicochemical techniques. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern resembles calcium phosphate silicate structures with inherent planes of AuNPs and amorphous chitosan. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) implies a reasonable electrostatic interaction between the BG, AuNPs, and chitosan with a shift in their specific/native states (83.54, 103.36, 347.36, 133.51 eV for Au4f7/2, Si4+, Ca2p3/2, P2p3/2). Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis reveals the BG-AuNPs and BG-AuNPs-chitosan’s nanocomposite surface area as 13.048 and 45.35 m2/g, pore diameter as 5.9 and 1.2 nm with mesoporous type IV isotherm, respectively. Anti-oxidant (68%), cell viability (89%), and cell proliferation (higher cell multiplication; at 100 µL) results significantly influence the bioimaging capability towards L929 fibroblast cells. Eventually, BG-AuNPs-chitosan nanocomposite was involved in the drug delivery system using metronidazole (MT) drug and achieved a greater interaction, sustainable loading, and controlled release over time for extended hours with zero-order kinetics formation.
