Abstract

Herein, we reported the formation of medicinal leech saliva (LS)-incorporated organic-inorganic nanoflower (LS-NF) with peroxidase mimic and antimicrobial activities. The medicinal leech saliva was used as an organic component and copper ion (Cu2+) acted as an inorganic part in the synthesis of LS-NF. Leech saliva was obtained from medicinal leeches Hirudo verbana, contains various amino acids, and it can react with Cu2+ ions in phosphate buffer through its accessible amine groups to form flower-shaped structures. These LS-NFs showed quite uniform and monodispersed morphology. They were systematically characterized with SEM, FTIR, and XRD for evaluation of morphology, bond vibrations, and crystal structure, respectively. The LS-NF acted as a Fenton reagent in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), then we investigated their peroxidase-like and antimicrobial activities through the Fenton reaction.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, tıbbi sülük salyası (H. verbana) kullanarak organik ve inorganik çiçek şekilli nanoyapıların (LS-NF) peroksidaz ve antimikrobiyal etkilere sahip olduğu bildirilmiştir. Çiçek şekilli nano yapıların sentesinde sülük salyası organik bileşen olarak kullanılırken, bakır iyonları (Cu2+) ise inorganik bileşen olarak rol almıştır. Birçok amino asit içeren tıbbi sülük salyası fosfat tampon içindeki Cu2+ iyonlarının amin grupları üzerinden çiçek şekilli nano yapılar oluşturmaktadır. Bu çiçek şekilli nano yapılar oldukça düzgün ve homojen bir dağılım sergiledi. Sentezlenen bu nano yapılar morfolojik, bağ titreşimleri ve kristal yapıları bakımından SEM, FTIR ve XDR analizleri ile sistematik bir şekilde karakterize edildi. Çiçek şekilli nano yapılar (LS-NF) hidrojen peroksit (H2O2) varlığında bir Fenton reaktifi olarak davranmış olup, bunlar peroksidaz benzeri ve antibiyotik aktiviteler bakımından incelendi.
