Biological target:

Methacrylic acid is an organic compound that prepares polymers.

In vitro activity:

The effects of PMAA-AgNPs-fluconazole (poly(methacrylic acid)-silver nanoparticles)combination was analysed by checkerboard methodology. PMAA-AgNPs showed a dose-dependent decrease in viability for cells tested, with 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50 ) values of 6.5, 4.9 and 6.8 μg ml-1 for macrophages, fibroblasts and Vero cells, respectively. Reference: J Appl Microbiol. 2022 Jun;132(6):4300-4309. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35338561/

In vivo activity:

This study shows a new role for MAA (methacrylic acid)-based biomaterials in promoting terminal axon nerve growth. MAA was also able to increase the expression of key neuronal markers and growth factors in a peripheral neuropathy model, the diabetic db/db mouse, suggesting that MAA-based biomaterials may be relevant to treatment of peripheral neuropathy.
