Amorphous and crystalline cerium() phosphates: biocompatible ROS-scavenging sunscreens
This paper reports on a comprehensive study of the UV-shielding properties (namely, the sun protection factor and the factor of protection against UV-A radiation) and cytotoxicity (including photocytotoxicity) of amorphous and crystalline cerium( iv ) phosphates. It has been shown that cerium( iv )...

Summary: | This paper reports on a comprehensive study of the UV-shielding properties (namely, the sun protection factor and the factor of protection against UV-A radiation) and cytotoxicity (including photocytotoxicity) of amorphous and crystalline cerium(
iv
) phosphates. It has been shown that cerium(
iv
) phosphate NH

Ce
2
(PO

)

is characterised by UV-shielding properties that are comparable to those of nanocrystalline TiO
2
and CeO
2
. Moreover, cerium(
iv
) phosphates did not show toxicity towards cell cultures of NCTC L929 line mouse fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells, in a wide range of concentrations, and even enhanced the proliferative activity of the latter. In a model study of the photoprotective properties of cerium(
iv
) phosphates on human mesenchymal stem cells, the pronounced protective effect of NH
4
Ce
2
(PO

)
3
was observed, which was comparable to the shielding action of nanocrystalline CeO
2
. The results have shown that tetravalent cerium phosphates can be considered as promising UV-filters for sunscreen applications.
This paper reports on the good UV-shielding properties (namely, the sun protection factor and the factor of protection against UV-A radiation) and low cytotoxicity (including photocytotoxicity) of amorphous and crystalline cerium(
iv
) phosphates. |
