Surfactin lipopeptides (LPs) are a compelling class of biosurfactants with notable antimicrobial and anticancer properties. This study presents a novel approach by integrating bioinformatics tools to assess the drug potential of Surfactin, specifically focusing on its antibacterial, antifungal activities, and cancer cell-line toxicity. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using Surfactin, a biosurfactant derived from KLP2016, as a capping agent, both in the presence and absence of Surfactin, to evaluate its impact on nanoparticle stability and bioactivity. The Surfactin-capped AgNPs demonstrated enhanced stability, uniformity, and antimicrobial efficacy, confirmed through UV-VIS spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The bioinformatics approach, including ADMET and PASS analysis, revealed the potential of Surfactin as a potent antimicrobial and anticancer agent. In addition, molecular docking studies further validated the interaction of Surfactin with key microbial cell-wall enzymes and proteins, underscoring its therapeutic potential. These findings suggest that Surfactin-stabilized AgNPs, combined with bioinformatic predictions, could pave the way for innovative antimicrobial and anticancer therapies.
表面活性素脂肽（LPs）是一类引人注目的生物表面活性剂，具有显著的抗菌和抗癌特性。本研究提出了一种通过整合生物信息学工具来评估表面活性素药物潜力的新方法，特别关注其抗菌、抗真菌活性以及对癌细胞系的毒性。使用源自KLP2016的生物表面活性剂表面活性素作为封端剂，在有和没有表面活性素的情况下合成了银纳米颗粒（AgNPs），以评估其对纳米颗粒稳定性和生物活性的影响。通过紫外可见光谱、场发射扫描电子显微镜和X射线衍射分析证实，表面活性素封端的AgNPs表现出增强的稳定性、均匀性和抗菌功效。包括ADMET和PASS分析在内的生物信息学方法揭示了表面活性素作为一种有效的抗菌和抗癌剂的潜力。此外，分子对接研究进一步验证了表面活性素与关键微生物细胞壁酶和蛋白质的相互作用，突出了其治疗潜力。这些发现表明，表面活性素稳定的AgNPs与生物信息学预测相结合，可为创新的抗菌和抗癌疗法铺平道路。
