Antimicrobial activity of silymarin mediated zinc oxide and hydroxy apatite nanoparticles against oral pathogens

Silymarin (SIL) is a component extracted from Silybum marianum herb and is studied in medicine due to its protective activities on certain organs (liver, kidney, heart, brain). The review discusses some methods that increase silymarin bioavailability such as development of complexes with cyclodextrins, phospholipids, liposome and nanostructured material (hydroxyapatite-HAP). The interactions between SIL and alpha-lipoic acid, metallic nanoparticles (gold nanoparticles-GNP, and silver nanoparticles – SNP), some carotenoids (β-carotene and lycopene) and curcumin were debated too. Some combined treatments (e.g. SIL + curcumin) highlighted anticancer activity against colon cancer cells (DLD-1, HCT116 and LoVo) and protective effect against chemicals toxicity.

This review examines the interaction between silymarin (SIL) and other plant-based bioactive compounds such as curcumin (CCM), piperine (PIP), resveratrol (RES), and icariin (ICA). Their combination revealed synergistic effects on colon (HCT116), breast (T47D) tumor cells, hepatocellular carcinoma, and periodontal disease. The review also addresses the interaction between these plant extracts with ceramic materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP) and carotenoids with concrete examples of biomedical applications. Silymarin’s interaction with chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin-DOX, paclitaxel-PCT and 5-Fluorouracil-5-FLU) and gold nanoparticles-GNPs and silver nanoparticles-SNPs is also debated. All these combinations can form composites of major importance in the biomedical field and to contribute significantly to orthopedic surgery where materials are needed for implants that face severe infections. This short review highlights the variety of multifunctional nanoparticles that open new opportunities in cancer treatment and the need to use the Langmuir Blodgett Technique that mimics the biological membrane and provides rich medical information.
