Gold Nanoparticles Stabilized With Aminopolycarboxylic Acids
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2025) Тrunova, O. K.; Berezhnytska, O. S.; Rohovtsov, O. O.; Berzenina, Oksana V.; Khrokalo, L. A.; Semenets, Yu.V.
ENG: This study presents the synthesis, morphological characterization, and preliminary antimicrobial evaluation of novel colloidal gold nanoparticle (AuNP) systems stabilized with aminopolycarboxylic acids: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS). These complexing agents act not only as chelators but also as simultaneous reducing and stabilizing agents in the formation of AuNPs, offering a green and environmentally friendly approach to nanomaterial fabrication. The synthesis was carried out under mild aqueous conditions without external protective additives, enabling the production of stable colloidal systems with minimal side products. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands were observed in the 530–550 nm range, with their intensity and spectral position sensitive to pH, ligand nature, and stabilization time. The most stable and monodisperse systems were obtained at pH≈9, with spherical nanoparticles ranging in size from 8 to 20 nm. Particular emphasis was placed on evaluating the biological activity of the synthesized dispersions. Antimicrobial screening was performed against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial strains. The results demonstrated moderate to high bactericidal activity, especially in EDTA-stabilized samples, likely due to enhanced surface stabilization and potential ligand involvement in membrane interactions.
Green Approach to the Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles With Antimicrobial Activity Using Plant Extracts Based on a Deep Eutectic Solvent
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, 2025) Skіba, Marharyta I.; Skyba, Y. M.; Kovalenko, Ihor L.; Gnatko, Olena M.; Radkevych, T. O.; Vorobyova, V. I.
ENG: Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) trihydrate (HAuCl4⋅3H2O) using plant waste (banana peel) extracts obtained using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on choline chloride. It was demonstrated that the plant waste (banana peel) extract obtained by DES allows the synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), characterized by a maximum plasmon resonance absorption peak at approximately λ=540–560 nm, with an average nanoparticle size range of 31–68 nm with a zeta potential value of –33 to –36 mV, depending on the initial concentration of the precursor stabilizer used in the synthesis process. Choline chloride-based DES was used as a new alternative to conventional solvents for ultrasonic extraction of active substances from plant waste, in particular banana peel. Low-temperature eutectic solvents based on choline chloride were compared with glycerol and lactic acid in a ratio of 1:3 and water 10–30%. It was found that choline chloride and glycerol in a ratio of 1:3 with a water content of 30% are highly effective for the extraction of flavonoid compounds from plant waste (banana peel). The influence of extraction parameters, namely sample-to-solvent ratio and extraction time, on the content of extracted flavonoids and antioxidant activity of the extract was studied using the methods of determining antioxidant activity by ferric ion reduction (FRAP) and the ABTS test (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). It was established that the extracted flavonoid content using DES is 222–521 mg/100 g. It was established that the sample-to-solvent ratio (1:45–1:80) and the extraction time of 10–30 min allow obtaining the antioxidant activity value of banana peel extracts, determined by the FRAP and ABTS methods: 20–60 mmol/l and 15–35 mmol/l. The gold nanoparticles obtained using DES extracts of banana peel showed higher antibacterial activity against E. coli compared to the DES extract of banana peel and non-sterilized gold nanoparticles
