In vitro antileishmanial activity of sustainable anacardic acid and cardol based silver nanoparticles on L. braziliensis. Int J Pharm 2022; 619:121698.

Abstract
The search for effective and less toxic drugs for the treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is desirable due to the emergence of resistant parasites. The present study shows the preparation, characterization and in vitro antileishmanial activity of green-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with Cashew Nutshell Liquid (CNSL, main constituents: anacardic acid (AA) and cardol (CD). The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was achieved by reduction with sodium borohydride in the presence of anacardic acid or cardol under microwave irradiation (400 W, 60 °C, 5 min) resulting in AgAA and AgCD. In vitro assay showed opposite effects for AgAA and AgCD. While AgAA is highly toxic to macrophages (CC50 = 6.910 µg mL-1) and almost non-toxic for L.braziliensis (IC50 = 86.61 µg mL-1), AgCD results very selective toward killing the parasite (CC50 = 195.0 µg mL-1, IC50 = 11.54 µg mL-1). AA's higher polarity and conical shape easily promote cell lysis by increasing cell permeability, while CD has a protective effect: for that reason, AA and AgAA were not further used for tests. CD (EC50 = 2.906 µg mL-1) had higher ability to kill intracellular amastigotes than AgCD (EC50 = 16.00 µg mL-1), however, less intact cells were seen on isolated CD tests. In addition, considering that NO is one of the critical molecular species for the intracellular control of Leishmania, we used Griess colorimetric test to analyze the effect of treatment with AgCD and CD. Overall, the in vitro antileishmanial tests indicate that AgCD should be further explored as a promising non-toxic treatment for CL.

Abstract
A novel silver nanoparticle (AgNP) formulation was developed as a targeted application for the disinfection of carious dentine. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) was chemically reduced using sodium borohydrate (NaBH4) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to form micelle aggregate structures containing monodisperse 6.7- to 9.2-nm stabilized AgNPs. AgNPs were characterized by measurement of electrical conductivity and dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial activity of AgNPs was tested against planktonic cultures of representative gram-positive and gram-negative oral bacteria using well diffusion assays on tryptic soy broth media and monoculture biofilms grown with brain heart infusion ± sucrose anaerobically at 37°C on microtiter plates. Biofilm mass was measured by crystal violet assay. Effects were compared to silver diamine fluoride and chlorhexidine (negative controls) and 70% isopropanol (positive control) exposed cultures. In the presence of AgNPs, triplicate testing against Streptococcus gordonii DL1, C219, G102, and ATCC10558 strains; Streptococcus mutans UA159; Streptococcus mitis I18; and Enterococcus faecalis JH22 for planktonic bacteria, the minimum inhibitory concentrations were as low as 7.6 µg mL-1 and the minimum bacteriocidal concentrations as low as 19.2 µg mL-1 silver concentration. Microplate readings detecting crystal violet light absorption at 590 nm showed statistically significant differences between AgNP-exposed biofilms and where no antimicrobial agents were used. The presence of sucrose did not influence the sensitivity of any of the bacteria. By preventing in vitro biofilm formation for several Streptococcus spp. and E. faecalis, this AgNP formulation demonstrates potential for clinical application inhibiting biofilms.
