AB  - Nanoparticles (NPs), a distinct class of particles ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm, are one of the most promising technologies of the 21st century, and titanium dioxide NPs (TiO2 NPs) are among the most widely produced and used NPs globally. The increased application of TiO2 NPs raises concerns regarding their global safety and risks of exposure. Many animal studies have reported the accumulation of TiO2 NPs in female reproductive organs; however, evidence of the resultant toxicity remains ambiguous. Since the surface area and chemical modifications of NPs can significantly change their cytotoxicity, we aimed to compare the toxic effects of pristine TiO2 powder with surface-modified TiO2 powders with salicylic acid (TiO2/SA) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (TiO2/5-ASA) on the ovaries, oviducts, and uterus on the 14th day following acute oral treatment. The results, based on alterations in food and water intake, body mass, organ-to-body mass ratio, hormonal status, histological features of tissues of interest, and antioxidant parameters, suggest that the modification with 5-ASA can mitigate some of the observed toxic effects of TiO2 powder and encourage future investigations to create NPs that can potentially reduce the harmful effects of TiO2 NPs while preserving their positive impacts.

AB  - The TiO2-based interfacial charge transfer (ICT) complex with taxifolin (dihydroquercetin), a polyphenol with pronounced antioxidant ability, displays light absorption in the visible spectral range. The extent of the red absorption shift, obtained using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations on a cluster model that mimics the ICT complex, is in excellent agreement with spectroscopic measurements. The reactive paramagnetic species generated in the dispersed pristine and surface-modified TiO2 powders with taxifolin upon excitation with ultraviolet and visible light were identified by indirect electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy techniques. The spin trapping and spin scavenging revealed the differences between the behavior of the pristine and surface-modified TiO2 powders with taxifolin before and upon excitation. On one side, the TiO2-based ICT complex with taxifolin efficiently scavenges reactive oxygen species by the taxifolin’s hydroxyl groups and, on the other side, the promotion of electrons from the ground state of taxifolin to the conduction band of TiO2 takes place under visible light excitation.
