Abstract
This study presents the results of a study of the synthesis and properties of 2-hydroxy-β-cyclodextrin functionalized by silver nanoparticles and its loading with a bioactive component. As a reducing agent and stabilizer, 2-Hydroxy-β-cyclodextrin (2gβCD) was used in the production of silver nanoparticles. The use of 2gβCD-AgNPs in loading molecules of the plant alkaloid lupinine (Lup) and its acetyl derivative (Lac) with bactericidal properties were studied. The formation of Lup-2gβCD-AgNPs and Lac-2gβCD-AgNPs was confirmed by UV spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the synthesized AgNPs had a spherical shape. 1H-, 13C-NMR nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the reduction and encapsulation of AgNPs by 2gβCD. Thermographic data show that the obtained Lup and its derivative inclusion complexes reduced energy barriers. This makes them promising components for thermosensitive functional materials. Encapsulated complexes of Lup and its acetate inclusion with silver nanoparticles demonstrated significantly (p < 0.05) higher antibacterial, cytotoxic, and moderately pronounced analgesic activity.
