Abstract
The escalating threat of antibiotic resistance necessitates the development of novel, sustainable antibacterial agents. This study investigates the potential of utilizing Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extracts to synthesize Ag/TiO2 and Ag/SeO2 nanocomposites. R. officinalis extract, a rich source of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, effectively and safely acts as a reducing and capping agent for the green synthesis of Ag/TiO2 and Ag/SeO2 nanocomposites. Characterization of nanocomposites revealed the nanoparticles’ nanoscale size, ranging from 43.34 to 96.58 nm for Ag/TiO2 and 8.04 to 21.72 nm for Ag/SeO2. Both types of nanoparticles exhibited a spherical morphology and distinct crystalline structure. The nanoparticles demonstrated significant antibacterial properties against multiple bacterial strains. The effective concentration for antibacterial activity was determined to be 30.99 mg/mL for Ag-TiO2 and 32.41 mg/mL for Ag-SeO2 nanoparticles. The surface charge of the nanoparticles was measured to be −14.0 mV for Ag-TiO2 and −15.4 mV for Ag/SeO2. Molecular docking simulations investigated the interactions between rosmarinic acid, its derivatives, and the antibiotic cefotaxime with a bacterial protein (e.g., DNA gyrase). These simulations provided insights into the distinct antibacterial mechanisms of these compounds. Briefly, this research highlights the potential of R. officinalis-derived nanocomposites as promising antibacterial agents. The eco-friendly synthesis and promising results pave the way for their development and application in medicine, biochemistry, and environmental fields.
期刊介绍：
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
