[PMID: 37717482 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a series of water-soluble fluorine-functionalized chitooligosaccharide derivatives were synthesized by conjugating nicotinic acid to chitooligosaccharide via nicotinylation reaction, followed by nucleophilic reaction with ethyl bromide, benzyl bromide and fluorobenzyl bromides. Synthesized derivatives were identified structurally by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. In addition, the antibacterial activities of chitooligosaccharide derivatives against several disease-causing bacteria were assessed by the broth dilution method and Kirby-Bauer method, the mycelium growth rate method was used to assessing the antifungal properties of samples against three plant-threatening fungi. Among the chitooligosaccharide derivatives, those containing benzyl or fluorobenzyl exhibited noteworthy antimicrobial activity. Specifically, the chitooligosaccharide derivative containing 2,3,4-trifluorobenzyl displayed remarkable antimicrobial activity, with an inhibition index of 84.35% against Botryis cinerea at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. Additionally, its MIC value against Staphylococcus aureus was found to be 0.03125 mg/mL, while the MBC value was determined to be 0.0625 mg/mL. The findings of the study revealed that the incorporation of pyridinium cations and fluorine into the chitooligosaccharide backbone may play a critical role in strengthening its ability to combat harmful microorganisms. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of chitooligosaccharide derivatives against Huvec cells were evaluated through MTT assay, and all samples were not toxic. As a consequence, the water-soluble fluorine-functionalized chitooligosaccharide derivatives possessed rapid microbicidal properties and good biocompatibility, which provided promising prospects for the development of a more effective and environmentally friendly antimicrobial agent.

Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and wet-adhesive poly(ionic liquid)-based oral patch for the treatment of oral ulcers with bacterial infection. Acta Biomater 2023; 166:254-265. [PMID: 37187300 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Oral aphthous ulcers are a common inflammatory efflorescence of oral mucosa, presenting as inflammation and oral mucosal damage and manifesting as pain. The moist and highly dynamic environment of the oral cavity makes the local treatment of oral aphthous ulcers challenging. Herein, a poly(ionic liquid)-based diclofenac sodium (DS)-loaded (PIL-DS) buccal tissue adhesive patch fabricated with intrinsically antimicrobial, highly wet environment adhesive properties and anti-inflammatory activities to treat oral aphthous ulcers was developed. The PIL-DS patch was prepared via polymerization of a catechol-containing ionic liquid, acrylic acid, and butyl acrylate, followed by anion exchange with DS-. The PIL-DS can adhere to wet tissues, including mucosa muscles and organs, and efficiently deliver the carried DS- at wound sites, exerting remarkable synergistic antimicrobial (bacteria and fungi) properties. Accordingly, the PIL-DS elicited dual therapeutic effects on oral aphthous ulcers with Staphylococcus aureus infection through antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, significantly accelerating oral aphthous ulcer healing as an oral mucosa patch. The results indicated that the PIL-DS patch, with inherently antimicrobial and wet adhesion properties, is promising for treating oral aphthous ulcers in clinical practice. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Oral aphthous ulcers are a common oral mucosal disease, which could lead to bacterial infection and inflammation in severe cases, especially for people with large ulcers or low immunity. However, moist oral mucosa and highly dynamic oral environment make it challenging to maintain therapeutic agents and physical barriers at the wound surface. Therefore, an innovative drug carrier with wet adhesion is urgently needed. Herein, a poly(ionic liquid)-based diclofenac sodium (DS)-loaded (PIL-DS) buccal tissue adhesive patch was developed to treat oral aphthous ulcers showing intrinsically antimicrobial and highly wet environment adhesive properties due to the presence of catechol-containing ionic liquid monomer. Additionally, the PIL-DS showed significantly therapeutic effects on oral aphthous ulcers with S. aureus infection through antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. We expect that our work can provide inspiration for the development of treatment for microbially infected oral ulcers.

Outstanding Performance of the Deep Eutectic Solvent-Based Aqueous Biphasic System Constructed with Sodium Citrate for a Green Gold Separation. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2023.

Abstract
Aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) that are based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are environmentally benign systems to use for metal ion separation. In this work, a series of DESs was synthesized for the first time with PEG 400 as hydrogen bond donors and tetrabutylphonium bromide (P4Br), tetrabutylammonium bromide (N4Br), or tetrabutylammonium chloride (N4Cl) as hydrogen bond acceptors, and then they were combined with citrate (Na3C6H5O7), which is eco-friendly, to construct an ABS for use in the separation of Au(I) from an aurocyanide solution. Phase diagrams of DESs + Na3C6H5O7 + H2O systems were constructed using the experimentally measured data. Multiple factors that affect the efficiency of the gold extraction were studied; these factors were the species of salt or DES and their content, the equilibrium pH, the oscillation time, and the initial gold concentration. Gold(I) is preferentially retained in the DES-rich phase, and the P4Br:PEG 1:2 + Na3C6H5O7 + H2O system has a high extraction efficiency of 100.0% under optimized conditions. FT-IR, NMR, and TEM characterizations and DFT calculations show that the migration of Au(I) from the salt-rich to the DES-rich phase follows an ion exchange mechanism. Specifically, Au(CN)2- replaces Br- in the original P4Br and generates a stable ion pair with the quaternary phosphonium salt cation, P+, and this replacement is driven by electrostatic attractions. A new strong hydrogen bond network simultaneously forms between the anionic Au(CN)2- and the -OH group in the PEG 400 component. Finally, the gold of Au(I)-loaded P4Br:PEG 1:2 can be successfully reduced by sodium borohydride with an efficiency of 100.0%. The strategy to extract gold(I) from alkaline cyanide solutions using an ABS based on DESs as proposed in this work provides a potential platform for developing green technology for recovering gold.

Abstract
With the trend of sustainable development and the complex medical environment, there is a strong demand for multimodal antibacterial cellulose wound dressing (MACD) with photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, a novel MACD fabrication strategy with PTT was proposed and implemented through graft polymerization of an imidazolium ionic liquid monomer containing iron complex anion structure. The fabricated hydrogels exhibited excellent antibacterial properties because of the efficient photothermal conversion ability (68.67 %) of ionic liquids and the intrinsic structural characteristic of quaternary ammonium salts. The antibacterial ratio of cellulosic hydrogel dressings to S. aureus and E. coli could reach 99.57 % and 99.16 %, respectively. Additionally, the fabricated hydrogels demonstrated extremely low hemolysis rates (<5 %) and excellent cell viability (~>85 %). Furthermore, in vivo antibacterial experimental results proved that the fabricated antibacterial dressings could significantly accelerate wound healing. Therefore, the proposed strategy would provide a new method of designing and preparing high-performance cellulose wound dressings.

Abstract
N-heterocycles are ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, organic materials, and numerous functional molecules. Among the current synthetic approaches, transition metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its advantages of simplicity, high atomic economy, and the ready availability of starting materials. In the field of N-heterocycle synthesis via C–H functionalization, nickel has been recognized as one of the most important catalysts. In this review, we will introduce nickel-catalyzed intramolecular and intermolecular pathways for N-heterocycle synthesis from 2008 to 2021.

Abstract
The search for coatings that extend the useful life of biomedical devices has been of great interest, and titanium has been of great relevance due to its innocuousness and low reactivity. This study contributes to the investigation of Ti/Ag films in different configurations (monolayer and multilayer) deposited by magnetron sputtering. The sessile droplet technique was applied to study wettability; greater film penetrability was obtained when Ag is the external layer, conferring high efficiency in cell adhesion. The morphological properties were characterized by SEM, which showed porous nuclei on the surface in the Ag coating and crystals embedded in the Ti film. The structural properties were studied by XRD, revealing the presence of TiO2 in the anatase crystalline phase in a proportion of 49.9% and the formation of a silver cubic network centered on the faces. Tafel polarization curves demonstrated improvements in the corrosion current densities of Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti and Ti/Ag compared to the Ag coating, with values of 0.1749, 0.4802, and 2.044 nA.m-2, respectively. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis and the yeasts Candida krusei and Candida albicans, revealing that the Ti/Ag and Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti coatings exhibit promise in biomedical material applications.

Abstract
Propolis is a resinous material rich in flavonoids and involved in several biological activities such as antimicrobial, fungicide, and antiparasitic functions. Conventionally, ethanolic solutions are used to obtain propolis phytochemicals, which restrict their use in some cultures. Given this, we developed an alcohol-free high-performance extractive approach to recover antibacterial and antioxidants phytochemicals from red propolis. Thus, aqueous-solutions of ionic liquids (IL) and eutectic solvents were used and then tested for their total flavonoids, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. The surface-responsive technique was applied regarding some variables, namely, the time of extraction, the number of extractions, and cavitation power (W), to optimize the process (in terms of higher yields of flavonoids and better antioxidant activity). After that, four extractions with the same biomass (repetitions) using 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C6mim]Cl, under the operational conditions fixed at 3.3 min and 300 W, were able to recover 394.39 ± 36.30 mg RuE. g-1 of total flavonoids, with total antioxidant capacity evaluated up to 7595.77 ± 5.48 μmol TE. g-1 dried biomass, besides inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enteritidis bacteria (inhibition halo of 23.0 ± 1.0 and 15.7 ± 2.1, respectively). Aiming at the development of new technologies, the antimicrobial effect also presented by [C6mim]Cl may be appealing, and future studies are required to understand possible synergistic actions with propolis phytochemicals. Thereby, we successfully applied a completely alcohol-free method to obtain antimicrobials phytochemicals and highly antioxidants from red propolis, representing an optimized process to replace the conventional extracts produced until now.

Abstract
Plant-derived nanoparticles have multi-functionalities owing to their ecological origin and biocompatible nature. A novel and stable silver nanoparticle (AgNP) was reported here using Cyanthillium cinereum (C. cinereum) as a reducing as well as capping agent by rapid microwave-assisted green method. The synthesized nanoparticles revealed their crystalline and spherical nature with an average size of 19.25 ± 0.44 nm in HR-TEM analysis. The excitation of electrons from occupied d-bands to states above the Fermi level while employing photoluminescence studies of AgNP indicated their awesome optical properties. Rapid decomposition of dangerous organic dyes like methylene blue and fuchsine in the catalytic presence of AgNP was evidenced from simple UV-visible spectral analysis. In vitro antioxidant potential assessed by DPPH assay indicated an IC50 value of 40.80 ± 0.14 μg/mL for the new AgNP. A substantial control on the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia can be achieved by synthesized nanoparticles as demonstrated by the well diffusion method. AgNP was also functioned as a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor with a sharp oxidation peak with peak potentials at 0.366 V and it has a wide application as a bio sensor in neurobiology especially in the detection of neurotransmitters like dopamine with high sensitivity.

Abstract
The application of silver nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent is becoming more common. Unfortunately, their effect on microorganisms is still not fully understood. Therefore, this paper attempts to investigate the influence of silver ions, biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles and nanoparticles functionalized with antibiotics on molecular bacteria profiles. The initial stage of research was aimed at the mechanism determination involved in antibiotics sorption onto nanoparticles' surface. For this purpose, the kinetics study was performed. Next, the functionalized formulations were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and a zeta potential study. The results reveal that functionalization is a complex process, but does not significantly affect the stability of biocolloids. Furthermore, the antimicrobial assays, in most cases, have shown no increases in antibacterial activity after nanoparticle functionalization, which suggests that the functionalization process does not always generate the improved antimicrobial effect. Finally, the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technique was employed to characterize the changes in the molecular profile of bacteria treated with various antibacterial agents. The recorded spectra proved many differences in bacterial lipids and proteins profiles compared to untreated cells. In addition, the statistical analysis of recorded spectra revealed the strain-dependent nature of stress factors on the molecular profile of microorganisms.

Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles designed to exert multiple mechanisms of antibacterial action offer a new approach to the fight against pathogenic resistant bacteria. In this study, nanomaterials with the dual actions of antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities were developed using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) functionalized with either lactoferrin (LTF) or graphene oxide (GO). AgNPs were synthesized using mushroom waste as a reducing agent and chitosan (CS) as a stabilizing agent, prior to their surface functionalization with either GO (AgGO) or LTF (Ag-LTF). The AgNPs exhibited a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 430 nm, as determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, whereas the absorption of AgGO and Ag-LTF occurred at 402 and 441 nm, respectively. Particle size analysis of AgNPs, AgGO, and Ag-LTF revealed sizes of 121.5 ± 10.5, 354.0 ± 1.6, and 130.8 ± 1.2 nm, respectively. All AgNPs, Ag-LTF, and AgGO inhibited selected Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria with comparable antibacterial performance, as determined by the agar diffusion method. Despite the absence of antibacterial activity by GO and LTF, a synergistic effect of AgGO and Ag-LTF was observed as they had a greater activity against P. aeruginosa. Moreover, Ag-LTF did not affect cell viability and migration rate of cells, suggesting the non-toxicity of Ag-LTF. In conclusion, AgNPs, Ag-LTF, and AgGO possess antibacterial activity, which may offer an alternative for future antibacterial agents.
