ABSTRACT It is well known that the natural plants extracts are beneficial for humans thanks to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The biological activity of these berries is mainly due to their high content of anthocyanins and other polyphenols. The nanoparticles facilitate the penetration of substances in skin, enhancing their antimitotic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. We have investigated the pH influence on the morphology of some new hybrid materials based on gold nanoparticles and natural extracts from fruits of Romanian native plants from Adoxaceae family (Viburnum opulus L. and Sambucus nigra L.). We have chosen the optimal method to get these materials in which gold nanoparticles of 10-80 nm were obtained. We characterized them by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy, by TEM and DSC. The hybrid materials have been tested on psoriatic lesions, but only after their non toxicity were determined by means of in vitro and in vivo analysis. The medical results emphasized a remarkable improvement of these lesions.

ABSTRACT It is well known that the natural plants extracts are beneficial for humans thanks to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The biological activity of these

berries is mainly due to their high content of anthocyanins and other polyphenols. The nanoparticles facilitate the penetration of substances in skin, enhancing their antimitotic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties.

We have investigated the pH influence on the morphology of some new hybrid materials based on gold nanoparticles and natural extracts from fruits of Romanian native plants from Adoxaceae family (Viburnum opulus L. and Sambucus nigra L.). We have chosen the optimal method to get these materials in which gold nanoparticles of 10-80 nm were obtained.

We characterized them by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy, by TEM and DSC. The hybrid materials have been tested on psoriatic lesions, but only after their non toxicity were determined by means of in vitro and in vivo analysis. The medical results emphasized a remarkable improvement of these lesions.

EXPERIMENTAL

CONCLUSIONS:Gold nanoparticles functionalized with anthocyanins extracted from Viburnum opulus L. and Sambucus nigra L. (AuNPs-C and AuNPs-S) were prepared at different pH (4-11) and were characterized by UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy and by TEM (at pH 7-9:diameters between 10-80 nm); There were assessed cytotoxicity tests (of the extract alone and of the functionalized nanoparticles) and the antiinflammatory tests (on keratinocytes treated with non-toxic doses of nanoparticles exposed before to increasing doses of UVB irradiation) for hybrid materials obtained at pH 7 respectively 9.5; The histograms of the skin thickness for 8 patients presented an involution of diseases after treatment, fact that indicates the very good antiinflammatory effect of our nanomaterials.
