| Abstract: | Chondroitin sulphate is a sulphated glycosaminoglycan biopolymer composed over 100 individual sugars. Chondroitin sulphate nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with catechin were prepared by an ionic gelation method using AlCl3 and optimised for polymer and cross‐linking agent concentration, curing time and stirring speed. Zeta potential, particle size, loading efficiency, and release efficiency over 24 h (RE24 %) were evaluated. The surface morphology of NPs was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and their thermal behaviour by differential scanning calorimetric. Antioxidant effect of NPs was determined by chelating activity of iron ions. The cell viability of mesenchymal stem cells was determined by 3‐4, 5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2, 5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and the calcification of osteoblasts was studied by Alizarin red staining. The optimised NPs showed particle size of 176 nm, zeta potential of −20.8 mV, loading efficiency of 93.3% and RE24 % of 80.6%. The chatechin loaded chondroitin sulphate NPs showed 70‐fold more antioxidant activity, 3‐fold proliferation effect and higher calcium precipitation in osteoblasts than free catechin.Inspec keywords: nanoparticles, encapsulation, biomedical materials, particle size, nanofabrication, nanomedicine, electrokinetic effects, cellular biophysics, polymer blends, molecular biophysics, molecular configurations, biochemistry, curing, surface morphology, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, dyes, precipitationOther keywords: in vitro evaluation, cross‐linked chondroitin sulphate nanoparticles, aluminium ions, nanoparticles, green tea flavonoids, sulphated glycosaminoglycan biopolymer, sugars, catechin, ionic gelation method, cross‐linking agent concentration, curing time, size 176 nm, time 24 h, calcium precipitation, 3‐fold proliferation effect, antioxidant activity, chatechin loaded chondroitin sulphate NPs, Alizarin red staining, osteoblasts, calcification, 3‐4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, mesenchymal stem cells, cell viability, chelating activity, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal behaviour, scanning electron microscopy, surface morphology, release efficiency, loading efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, stirring speed |
