RESUMEN

In the present study, biocompatible luminescent of nanosized fluorapatite doped with rubidium(I) (Rb+ ion) and europium(III) (Eu3+ ion) ions were synthesized via hydrothermal method. It was investigated the influence of co-doped Rb+ and Eu3+ ions on the structural, and morphological characteristics of the obtained fluorapatite materials. The characterization techniques utilized included: X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, to establish the influence of the co-doped Rb+ and Eu3+ ions on the luminescence properties of the lanthanide ion, emission excitation, emission spectrum and luminescence decays were measured. This confirmed a distinct red emission originating from Eu3+ ions and an increased emission lifetime. To determine the biocompatibility of the obtained fluorapatite compounds, in vitro studies using normal dermal human fibroblasts were performed. The results of these studies clearly demonstrate the remarkable biocompatibility of our compounds. This discovery opens exciting prospects for the use of synthetic fluorapatites doped with Eu3+ and Rb+ ions in various biomedical contexts. In particular, these materials hold great promise for potential applications in regenerative engineering, but also serve as innovative and practical solutions as bone scaffolds and dental implants containing nano-fluorapatite. Further discussion of these properties can be found in this article, along with a discussion of their importance and potential in the field of biomedical applications. However, according to our pervious study and based on our current investigations but also based on available scientific records, it was proposed potential molecular mechanism of Rb+ ions in the process of osteoclastogenesis.

RESUMEN

This research investigates hydrothermally synthesized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles doped with rubidium(I) and europium(III) ions. Investigation focused on establishing the influence of co-doped Eu3+ and Rb+ ions on hydroxyapatite lattice. Therefore, structural, and morphological properties were characterized via using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Furthermore, this investigation evaluates the impact of various Rb+ ion doping concentrations on the distinct red emission of co-doped Eu3+ ions. Hence, luminescence properties of the obtained materials were evaluated by measuring emission excitation, emission spectra, and luminescence decays. As established by numerous studies, synthetic hydroxyapatite has excellent application in biomedical field, as it is fully biocompatible. Its biocompatible makes it highly useful in the biomedical field as a bone fracture filler or hydroxyapatite coated dental implant. By the incorporation of Eu3+ ions and Rb+ ions we established the impact these co-doped ions have on the biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite powders. Therefore, biocompatibility toward a ram's red blood cells was evaluated to exclude potential cytotoxic features of the synthesized compounds. Additionally, experimental in vitro bioactive properties of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles doped with Rb+ and Eu3+ ions were established using a mouse osteoblast model. These properties are discussed in detail as they contribute to a novel method in regenerative medicine.
