This study investigated the potential of a novel carboxylic acid-terminated generation 1 oleodendrimer (E1A) as a novel biocompatible capping agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (E1A@Ag). Synthesized E1A@Ag particles were spherical with an average size of 9 ± 3 nm and displayed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. The current study, therefore, establishes E1A as an effective biocompatible material for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
本研究调查了一种新型羧酸末端的第一代油树脂(E1A)作为合成银纳米颗粒(E1A@Ag)的新型生物相容性封端剂的潜力。合成的E1A@Ag颗粒呈球形,平均尺寸为9 ± 3纳米,并对金黄色葡萄球菌、耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌表现出抗菌活性。因此,本研究确立了E1A作为合成银纳米颗粒的有效生物相容性材料。
