“…Besides, pure flavonoids are said to be mainly compound for the transformation of metallic ions to their nanostructures with enhanced anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities (Jain and Mehata, 2017 ). Similarly, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins have also been reported as green reducing agents to develop novel nanomaterials with versatile applications (Ahmad, 2014 ; Almadiy and Nenanaah, 2018 ; Choi et al, 2018 ). The schematic of BP-AgNPs synthesis is shown in Figure 1 .…”

Bryophyllum pinnatum is a perennial herb traditionally used in ethnomedicine. In the present report, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using B. pinnatum leaf extract. BP-AgNPs were confirmed following UV-Vis spectroscopy with SPR peak at 412 nm and further characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and TEM. Microscopic images confirmed the spherical shape and ~15 nm average size of nanostructures. BP-AgNPs were evaluated for photocatalytic degradation of hazardous dyes (methylene blue and Rhodamine-B) and showed their complete reduction within 100 and 110 min., respectively. BP-AgNPs have emerged as a unique SPR-based novel sensor for the detection of H2O2, which may deliver exciting prospects in clinical and industrial areas. DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity were studied with respective IC50 values of 89 and 259 μg/mL. A strong intercalating interaction of CT-DNA with BP-AgNPs was investigated. Observed chromosomal abnormalities confirm the antimitotic potential of BP-AgNPs in the meristematic root tip. The cytotoxicity of BP-AgNPs against B16F10 (melanoma cell line) and A431 (squamous cell carcinoma cell line), was assessed with respective IC50 values of 59.5 and 96.61 μg/ml after 24 h of treatment. The presented green synthetic approach provides a novel and new door for environmental, industrial, and biomedical applications.

Antibacterial and antibiofilm potential of silver nanoparticles against antibiotic-sensitive and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains

et al. 2020

Due to the severity of infections caused by P. aeruginosa and the limitations in treatment, it is necessary to find new therapeutic alternatives. Thus, the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is a viable alternative because of their potential actions in the combat of microorganisms, showing efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDR). In this sense, the aim of this work was to conduct a literature review related to the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of AgNPs against antibiotic-sensitive and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. The AgNPs are promising for future applications, which may match the clinical need for effective antibiotic therapy. The size of AgNPs is a crucial element to determine the therapeutic activity of nanoparticles, since smaller particles present a larger surface area of contact with the microorganism, affecting their vital functioning. AgNPs adhere to the cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall of microorganisms, causing disruption, penetrating the cell, interacting with cellular structures and biomolecules, and inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species and free radicals. Studies describe the antimicrobial activity of AgNPs at minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 1 and 200 μg/mL against susceptible and MDR P. aeruginosa strains. These studies have also shown antibiofilm activity through disruption of biofilm structure, and oxidative stress, inhibiting biofilm growth at concentrations between 1 and 600 μg/mL of AgNPs. This study evidences the advance of AgNPs as an antibacterial and antibiofilm agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, demonstrating to be an extremely promising approach to the development of new antimicrobial systems.

“…Potato steroidal alkaloids and their nanoparticles were also found to be able to control the mycelial growth of phytopathogenic fungi including A. alternate , R. solani , Botrytis cinerea , and F. oxysporum . In another study, the alkaloid 1-corydalmine suppressed spore germination of A. brassicae and F. udum ( Basha et al, 2007 ; Almadiy and Nenaah, 2018 ). Alkaloids have been found to be capable of destroying cell walls and the membrane structures of fungal cells, thus achieving fungal inhibition ( Moraes et al, 2015 ; Wei et al, 2020 ).…”

Changes in the Soil Fungal Community Mediated by a Peganum harmala Allelochemical

Plants can release phytotoxic allelochemicals into the environment, not only to suppress other plants’ growth, but also alter community structure of soil microbiota, however, the mechanism are often complicated. We designed a consecutive cultivation procedure to evaluate the allelopathic effect of harmaline, the major active allelochemical produced by the desert plant Peganum harmala, on soil microorganisms. Harmaline was added to the soil at 20 μg/g, and after five generations of cultivation, the Chao1, Pielou, Shannon and Simpon indexes changed significantly. In particular, the relative abundances of the dominant fungi, Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp., declined drastically by 84.90 and 91.90%, respectively. Further in vitro bioassays confirmed that harmaline indeed suppressed growth of 6 Alternaria and Fusarium strains isolated from P. harmala rhizosphere soil. We thus suspect that P. harmala might produce harmaline as an effective carry-on pesticide to defend against general pathogens such as Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. and favor itself. Our consecutive cultivation procedure has successfully magnified the core signals from the chaotic data, implying that it can be applied to measure the effects of other allelochemicals on soil microbiota.
