The present disclosure relates to the technical field of nano-agents, and more specifically, to a composite nano-agent for combating drug-fast bacteria and a preparation method thereof.
With the wide use of antibiotics, the emergence and spread of resistant strains have become a worldwide public health issue. Therefore, to date, the development of new antibacterial agents and therapeutic methods has become one of the hot spots for research in the medical and biotechnological fields. In recent years, the progress in nanotechnology has provided new ideas and approaches for the treatment and prevention of infection. Highly efficient bactericidal and antiseptic composite nano-agents can be prepared with unique properties of nanomaterials, such as large surface area, sound biocompatibility, and strong controllability.
Silver nanoparticles are broad-spectrum bactericidal, liposomes can enhance the biocompatibility and stability of the silver nanoparticles, and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) can prevent the nanoparticles from being recognized and removed in vivo. In the process of preparing the silver nanoparticles, silver ions need to be added to an aqueous solution containing Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and irradiated with ultraviolet light. However, due to the fact that a penetrating power of the ultraviolet light is limited, it is difficult to effectively irradiate a deeper layer of a mixture at a higher efficiency when the mixture is irradiated.

A composite nano-agent for combating drug-fast bacteria, where the composite nano-agent material comprised:
With reference to
The solution comprised the steps of adding the silver salt into the water, and adding TBAH to hydrolyze the silver salt to obtain silver ions; adding the silver ions into an aqueous solution containing PVA, reducing the silver ions into silver nanoparticles in reduction equipment, and homogeneously irradiating solutions at various layers of the mixture through the reduction equipment to improve the efficiency of reducing the silver ions into the silver nanoparticles and the efficiency of reagent preparation; then, mixing PC and cholesterol, adding the mixture into water, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to form the liposomes; mixing the silver nanoparticles and the liposomes and adding PEG to stabilize the mixture, mixing an appropriate amount of silver nanoparticles and liposomes, adding PEG to the mixture to be uniformly mixed using an ultrasonic processor; subsequently, characterizing the mixture thereof; and carrying out an anti-bacterial experiment on the prepared reagent after characterization to the its sterilization effect and MIC thereof.
The range of a ratio of the silver salt to TBAH in S1 was 1:1 to 1:3, and the range of a ratio of the silver ions to PVA in S2 was 1:1 to 1:10.
With reference to
The silver ions were added into an aqueous solution containing PVA, the mixture was poured into the reduction tank 1, and then the segmentation assembly 2 was slowly placed into the reduction tank 1, so that the mixture could enter the hollowed-out ring 23. The mixture could be divided into multiple relatively confined spaces through a plurality of top plates 24 and base plates 22, as well as the hollowed-out ring 23 in middles of the top plates 24 and the base plates 22. The ultraviolet lamp 31 installed on the sealing cap 3 was placed inside the transparent cylinder 21 and a power switch of the ultraviolet lamp 31 was turned on, so that the mixture in the reduction tank 1 was irradiated by the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 31, thereby ensuring that mixture at various layers could be steadily and uniformly irradiated.
Meanwhile, ends, close to each other, of the rear top plates 24 and the base plates 22 and an inner surface of the hollowed-out ring 23 were coated with titanium oxide coatings, so that the ultraviolet light could be reflected to a large extent, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 31 could act on the mixture to a maximum extent in a relatively confined space formed by the base plates 22, the hollowed-out ring 23 and the top plates 24, so that the efficiency of reducing the silver nanoparticles by the mixture at different depths could be accelerated, and the reagent preparation efficiency could be improved.
The specific operation steps in S3 comprised:
Preparing PC and cholesterol meant preparing PC and cholesterol in the required proportion and quantity; placing a suitable amount of PC and cholesterol into a dry, sterile, and high-temperature-resistant glass beaker meant placing the mixture of the prepared PC and cholesterol into a glass beaker; adding an appropriate amount of deionized water into the beaker and ensuring the even mixing meant adding the deionized water into the beaker and mixing evenly with a glass stick to ensure that PC and cholesterol were evenly dispersed in the water; placing the beaker into an ultrasonic processor and treating the mixture by using the suitable ultrasonic power and time meant placing the beaker into an ultrasonic processor, setting appropriate ultrasonic power and time, and processing the mixture to form the liposomes; and checking the quality and characteristics of the liposomes after preparation meant that after the liposomes were prepared, the quality and characteristics of the liposomes were checked to ensure that the liposomes met the required quality standards and characteristic requirements.
The range of a ratio of the silver nanoparticles to the liposomes in S4 was 1:1 to 1:10, and the addition amount of PEG in S4 was 5% to 10% of the total mass of the silver nanoparticles and the liposomes.
The parameters for characterizing the mixture in S5 included a particle size, a dispersity, a morphology, a structure and an optical property.
The particle size of the nanoparticles is an important parameter. A dynamic light scatterometer can measure an average particle size, a distribution condition, an aggregation state and other information of the nanoparticles, and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) can be used to directly observe the morphology and size of the nanoparticles.
The dispersity of nanoparticles refers to the uniformity of the nanoparticles in the solution; an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy can measure the absorption spectrum of the nanoparticles, analyze the dispersity and aggregation state of the nanoparticles, and a Zeta potential analyzer can measure a state of electric charge on the surfaces of the nanoparticles, thereby determining the stability and dispersity of the nanoparticles.
The morphology and structure of nanoparticles can be observed and analyzed by a high-resolution microscope such as a TEM.
The optical property of the nanoparticles can be characterized by an UV-vis spectroscopy or a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method.
