Sterilization of polydimethylsiloxane surface with Chinese herb extract: a new antibiotic mechanism of chlorogenic acid

Abstract: Coating of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface with a traditional Chinese herb extract chlorogenic acid (CA) solves the contemporary problem of sterilization of PDMS surface. The E. coli grows slower and has a higher death rate on the CA-coated PDMS surfaces. A smoother morphology of these E. coli cell wall is observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Unlike the reported mechanism, where CA inhibits bacterial growth by damaging the cell membrane in the bulk solution, we find the CA-coated PDMS surface also de… Show more

“…(2) CGA molecules display strong polarity and can bind to large molecules, such as lipids, on the surface of bacteria to change the permeability of the bacterial membrane, resulting in the leakage of the contents [ 14 , 17 ]. (3) CGA may inhibit bacterial flagella synthesis, reduce the number of flagella, and thus reduce the bacterial clustering effect [ 18 ].…”

“…Since E. coli DH5α has a high resistance to antibiotics6, we used E. coli DH5α as the Gram-negative bacteria to check the antibacterial effect of paeonol. We also used P. aeruginosa PAO1 as the Gram-positive bacteria in the study.…”

“…Various techniques have been developed for the sterilization of PDMS surface. PDMS surfaces coated with antibacterial materials, such as titania and chlorogenic acid, are reported to have good antibacterial activity56. However, these materials are usually either poorly effective against cancer cells or highly toxic to non-cancer mammalian cells.…”

“…1) is one of the most available active substances widely distributed in not only lots of Chinese herbal medicine but also in various fruits and vegetables. It has been extensively demonstrated for wide-ranging physiological activities such as anti-obesity, 1) anti-diabetic, 2) antihypertension, 3) antimicrobial, 4) and anti-inflammatory activities. [5][6][7] Analyzing from the structure, CGA is the simple ester of caffeic acid with quinic acid, two common natural metabolites, which suggests that it has strong potential for chemical modification.…”
