Abstract

Glyconanotechnology offers a broad range of applications across basic and translation research. Despite the tremendous progress in glyco-nanomaterials, there is still a huge gap between the basic research and therapeutic applications of these molecules. It has been reported that complexity and the synthetic challenges in glycans synthesis, the cost of the high order in vivo models and large amount of sample consumptions limited the effort to translate the glyco-nanomaterials into clinical applications. In this regards, several promising simple animal models for preliminary, quick analysis of the nanomaterials activities has been proposed. Herein, we have studied a systematic evaluation of the toxicity, biodistribution of fluorescently tagged PEG and mannose-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of three different shapes (sphere, rod, and star) in the adult zebrafish model, which could accelerate and provide preliminary results for further experiments in the higher order animal system. ICP-MS analysis and confocal images of various zebrafish organs revealed that rod-AuNPs exhibited the fast uptake. While, star-AuNPs displayed prolong sequestration, demonstrating its potential therapeutic efficacy in drug delivery.
