Dextran-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as Biomimetic Catalysts for Localized and pH-Activated Biofilm Disruption

Abstract: Biofilms are surface-attached bacterial communities embedded within an extracellular matrix that create localized and protected microenvironments. Acidogenic oral biofilms can demineralize the enamel-apatite on teeth, causing dental caries (tooth decay). Current antimicrobials have low efficacy and do not target the protective matrix and acidic pH within the biofilm. Recently, catalytic nanoparticles were shown to disrupt biofilms but lacked a stabilizing coating required for clinical applications. Here, we re… Show more

“…In addition, nanoparticles can mediate EPS matrix degradation through an enzyme‐like activity which causes the biofilm to disperse, i.e., the bacteria are separated from the biofilm and are thus in a free‐floating state. Bacteria dispersed from biofilms lose the inherent protection of biofilm colonies, and the interaction between bacteria in the biofilm is also destroyed.…”

“…Among the biomimetic enzymes, the iron nanoparticles possess a peroxidase‐like activity and the most commonly used strategy in antimicrobial treatments . The colloidal ironic nanoparticles alone is not quite stable, thus, in applications, the iron nanoparticles are normally coated with some hydrophilic polymers, like dextran, to enhanced their bioaccessibility. The acidic pH environment produced by pathogens, like S. mutans , could enhance the activity of iron nanoparticles in producing the hydroxyl radicals, which can induce the lysis of bacteria as well as the degradation of the biofilm matrix .…”

The acidic pH environment produced by pathogens, like S. mutans , could enhance the activity of iron nanoparticles in producing the hydroxyl radicals, which can induce the lysis of bacteria as well as the degradation of the biofilm matrix . While under physiological pH, the hydroxyl radical generation efficiency is negligible, minimizing their effects to the normal tissues.…”

“…Metallic and oxidic nanoparticles and nanoporous systems provide excellent catalysts for oxidation reactions. In particular, nanoparticles have acquired a lot of attention as catalysts for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide [1][2][3][4] since the catalytic activity of metallic nanoparticles can be compared to the one of peroxidase [5][6][7][8][9] for the same reaction ("artificial enzymes", cf. Refs.…”

“…[7] There is a large number of studies in which this approach has been adopted. [3,4,[22][23][24] However, doubts may be raised about the general validity of such a kinetic treatment: First of all, this approach interprets only the initial rate of the reaction, that is, the rate at very low conversion. The restriction to the initial rates may be justified in case of complicated biochemical reactions but not for a model reaction that can be followed to high conversion.…”
