Attenuation of Liver Injury via Bicyclol–Bovine Serum Albumin Nanopreparation using a Green Synthetic Approach

Figure 2

Preparation and characterization of bicyclol nanoparticles (BIC-NPs): (a) size and polydispersity index (PDI) with different BIC-NPs mass ratios; (b) the zeta potential of BIC-NPs is significantly reduced from −9 to −15 mV when BIC/BSA weight ratio is increased from 1 : 10 to 1 : 5 (keep BSA at a constant mass). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3); (c) images of BIC-NPs with different mass ratios; (d) transmission emission microscopy (TEM) image of BIC-NPs (BIC : BSA = 1 : 5). Bar = 100 nm; (e) particle size distribution of BIC-NPs with BIC : BSA (w/w) = 1 : 5.
