Amino acid-based antimicrobial and antibiotic surfactant compounds and core-shell structured nanocomposites containing them

Amino acid-based antimicrobial surfactant compounds and nanocomposites capable of eco-friendly synthesis

This technology relates to antimicrobial and antibiotic surfactant compounds based on natural and non-natural amino acids, and core-shell structured nanocomposites where these compounds are coated onto gold or silica nanoparticles.

Conventional synthetic surfactants posed safety and environmental concerns, leading to a demand for biodegradable and eco-friendly antimicrobial materials.

This technology is synthesized eco-friendly using nanoparticles derived from natural extracts, exhibiting high water solubility, low cytotoxicity, excellent bioavailability, and antimicrobial properties, making it useful for novel antimicrobial agents, surfactants, preservatives, and bionanomaterials.
