Abstract

Carbon nanodots (CDs) are often synthesized from natural sources including honey, molasses, fruits, and foods, and plant extracts simply through caramelization. They have wide biological applications especially as drug delivery vehicles and bioimaging agent due to their small size and biocompatibility. This article details the synthesis of carbon dots from carob and its derivatives by surface passivation with polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and alginate (ALG). We investigated the immune response against CDs and evaluated the effect of surface passivation agents on their immunomodulatory functions. CDPVA had strong anti-inflammatory activities, whereas CDALG were pro-inflammatory. CDPEG had mild anti-inflammatory activities suggesting that these CDs can be used in the drug delivery studies as inert carriers. These results showed that depending on the type of activated groups dominated on the surface, CDs exerted differential effects on the inflammatory potential of the macrophages by changing the pro-inflammatory TNFα and IL6 production levels.
