Stabilization of metal-doped magnesium oxide nanoparticles with PAMAM dendrimers to improve alpha-amylase enzyme inhibition by Jaison Jeevanandam, Mara Gonçalves, Rita Castro, Juan Gallo, Manuel Bañobre-López, João Rodrigues

“…The present study aimed to synthesize metal-doped magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles to drastically reduce polydispersity and stabilize them with generation 5 of poly(amidoamine) (G5 PAMAM) dendrimers to assess their antidiabetic properties via controlled release. Zinc and silver metals were selected as dopants due to their ionic radius (0.74 Å and 1.16 Å, respectively) for MgO crystal defect reduction (ionic radii – 0.72 Å), allowing for the comparison of the dopants' effect on the nanoparticles’ properties. …”
