Overview

In vitro and in silico study demonstrates antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities of green-synthesized Ag/TiO₂ bimetallic nanoparticles, highlighting their multifunctional therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • To synthesize Ag/TiO₂ bimetallic nanoparticles using Couroupita guianensis leaf and floral extracts and evaluate their computational, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.
  • Fabricated Ag/TiO₂ nanoparticles using C. guianensis leaf and flower extracts, characterizing them via TEM, XRD, FTIR, and zeta potential analysis.
  • Conducted molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations evaluating phytochemical interactions with α-amylase.
  • Evaluated in vitro radical scavenging, antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, α-amylase inhibition, and anti-inflammatory efficacy.
  • Flower-mediated nanoparticles achieved 56.87% α-amylase inhibition at 100 µg/mL compared to 50.92% for leaf-mediated nanoparticles, corroborated by computational docking scores for β-amyrin palmitate (-8.1 kcal/mol) and farnesol (-6.6 kcal/mol).
  • Leaf-mediated nanoparticles exhibited 73.61% anti-inflammatory efficacy at 10 µg/mL compared to 71.61% for flower-mediated nanoparticles.
  • TEM revealed well-dispersed spherical nanoparticles measuring 10–100 nm (leaf) and 10–95 nm (flower), with crystalline anatase and rutile phases confirmed by XRD.
