Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the smallest endogenous molecules with particularly interesting aspects roles in biological systems, despite its toxicological potential. Solid carriers have potential biomedical interest in the delivery of exogenous NO for anti-bacterial, anti-thrombic and wound healing applications. In this work, we prepared nanoporous materials from clay based solids, of montmorillonite type, with the main goal of studying its potential in the field of storage and release of nitric oxide for therapeutic applications. Materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption at −196 °C, TG-DSC and chemical analysis. The kinetic data for the nitric oxide storage and release, in selected materials, was obtained in gas and liquid phases. The released amounts of NO in the liquid phase were within the biological range and, for some materials, a slow release kinetics was obtained with, inclusively, an almost direct relation between the released fraction and time. Toxicological assays with HeLa cells indicated that the materials have low cytotoxicity.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Antifouling coatings Biocompatible materials Bioelectronics Bioimaging Biomimetics Biomineralisation Bionics Biosensors Diagnostics Drug delivery Gene delivery Immunobiology Nanomedicine Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering Scaffolds Soft robotics Stem cells Therapeutic devices image block All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®. Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our companion journal, Biomaterials Science.
