dc.description.abstractGraphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an intriguing nanomaterial that exhibits photoconductive fluorescence properties under UV-visible light. Dopamine (DA) coating of g-C3N4 prepared from melamine was accomplished via self-polymerization of DA as polydopamine (PDA). The g-C3N4 was coated with PDA 1, 3, and 5 times repeatedly as (PDA@g-C3N4) in tris buffer at pH 8.5. As the number of PDA coatings was increased on g-C3N4, the peak intensity at 1512 cm(-1) for N-H bending increased. In addition, the increased weight loss values of PDA@g-C3N4 structures at 600 degrees C from TGA thermograms confirmed that the coating was accomplished. The band gap of g-C3N4, 2.72 eV, was reduced to 0.87 eV after five coatings with PDA. A pristine g-C3N4 was found to have an isoelectric point (IEP) of 4.0, whereas the isoelectric points of 1PDA@g-C3N4 and 3PDA@g-C3N4 are close to each other at 3.94 and 3.91, respectively. On the other hand, the IEP of 5PDA@g-C3N4 was determined at pH 5.75 assuming complete coating with g-C3N4. The biocompatibility of g-C3N4 and PDA@g-C3N4 against L929 fibroblast cell lines revealed that all PDA@g-C3N4 coatings were found to be biocompatible up to a 1000 mg/mL concentration, establishing that PDA coatings did not adversely affect the biocompatibility of the composite materials. In addition, PDA@g-C3N4 was screened for antioxidant potential via total phenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content assays and it was found that PDA@g-C3N4 has recognizable TPC values and increased linearly with an increased number of PDA coatings. Furthermore, blood compatibility of pristine g-C3N4 is enhanced considerably upon PDA coating, affirmed by hemolysis and the blood clotting index%. Additionally, alpha-glucosidase inhibitory properties of PDA@g-C3N4 structures revealed that 67.6 + 9.8% of this enzyme was evenly inhibited by 3PDA@g-C3N4 structure.
