Green Innovation and Synthesis of Honeybee Products-Mediated Nanoparticles: Potential Approaches and Wide Applications. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:829. [PMID: 39199787 PMCID: PMC11351265 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11080829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Bee products, abundant in bioactive ingredients, have been utilized in both traditional and contemporary medicine. Their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties make them valuable for food, preservation, and cosmetics applications. Honeybees are a vast reservoir of potentially beneficial products such as honey, bee pollen, bee bread, beeswax, bee venom, and royal jelly. These products are rich in metabolites vital to human health, including proteins, amino acids, peptides, enzymes, sugars, vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, and minerals. The advancement of nanotechnology has led to a continuous search for new natural sources that can facilitate the easy, low-cost, and eco-friendly synthesis of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles (NPs) are actively synthesized using honeybee products, which serve dual purposes in preventive and interceptive treatment strategies due to their richness in essential metabolites. This review aims to highlight the potential role of bee products in this line and their applications as catalysts and food preservatives and to point out their anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant underlying impacts. The research used several online databases, namely Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Sci Finder. The overall findings suggest that these bee-derived substances exhibit remarkable properties, making them promising candidates for the economical and eco-friendly production of NPs.

Formation Kinetics and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticle Dispersions Based on N-Reacetylated Oligochitosan Solutions for Biomedical Applications. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2690. [PMID: 38140032 PMCID: PMC10747331 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15122690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the synthesis, a detailed kinetics study, and an investigation of the biological activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aqueous solutions of N-reacetylated oligochitosan hydrochloride. UV-visible spectrophotometry and dynamic light scattering were employed to control silver ion reduction. The process was observed to follow a pseudo-first-order law. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that AgNPs ranging in size from 10 to 25 nm formed aggregates measuring 60 to 90 nm, with the aggregate surface coated by a 2-4 nm chitosan shell. X-ray microanalysis and powder X-ray diffractometry were used to study the phase composition, identifying two crystalline phases, nanocrystalline silver and AgCl, present in the dispersions. The antibacterial effect was assessed using the serial dilution method for dispersions with varying degrees of Ag+ conversion. Nanodispersions exhibited significant activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Interestingly, the activity did not appear to be heavily influenced by the presence of the AgCl phase or the concentration of Ag+ ions. These synthesized dispersions hold promise for the development of materials tailored for biomedical applications.
