In recent years, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been applied in various biomedicine fields like bioimaging, drug delivery, and antibacterial alternatives. MSNs could be manufactured through green synthetic methods as environmentally friendly and sustainable synthesis approaches, to improve physiochemical characteristics for biomedical applications. In the present research, we used Rutin (Ru) extract, a biocompatible flavonoid, as the reducing agent and nonsurfactant template for the green synthesis of Ag-decorated MSNs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), zeta-potential, x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), brunauer-emmett-teller (BET) analysis, and energy-dispersive system (EDS) spectroscopy were used to evaluate the Ag-decorated MSNs physical characteristics. The antimicrobial properties were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and also different types of candida. The cytotoxicity test was performed by using the MTT assay. Based on the findings, the significant antimicrobial efficacy of Ru-Ag-decorated MSNs against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria and different types of fungi was detected as well as acceptable safety and low cytotoxicity even at lower concentrations. Our results have given a straightforward and cost-effective method for fabricating biodegradable Ag-decorated MSNs. The applications of these MSNs in the domains of biomedicine appear to be promising.
近年来,介孔硅纳米粒子(MSNs)已应用于生物成像、药物输送和抗菌替代品等多个生物医药领域。MSNs 可以通过绿色合成方法制造,作为环保和可持续的合成方法,以改善用于生物医学应用的物理化学特性。在本研究中,我们使用芦丁(Ru)提取物,一种生物相容性的类黄酮,作为绿色合成 Ag 修饰的 MSNs 的还原剂和非表面活性剂模板。透射电子显微镜(TEM)、zeta 电位、X 射线粉末衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱分析、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、BET 分析和能谱(EDS)光谱用于评估 Ag 修饰的 MSNs 的物理特性。评估了其对金黄色葡萄球菌(S. aureus)、大肠杆菌(E. coli)以及不同类型念珠菌的抗菌性能。通过 MTT 测定法进行了细胞毒性试验。根据研究结果,发现 Ru-Ag 修饰的 MSNs 对革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌以及不同类型真菌均具有显著的抗菌功效,而且即使在较低浓度下,安全性也可接受,细胞毒性也较低。我们的结果提供了一种简单且经济高效的方法来制造可生物降解的 Ag 修饰的 MSNs。这些 MSNs 在生物医学领域的应用似乎很有前景。
