Silver Nanoparticles as Nanoantibiotics: A Comparative Analysis of their Toxicity on Biological Systems of Different Complexity

Currently, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are extensively studied for biomedical applications, but although nanomaterials provide many benefits, recently their comparative toxicity have barely been explored. In the current work, AgNPs toxicity on biological systems of different levels of complexity wa...

In the current work, AgNPs toxicity on biological systems of different levels of complexity was assessed in a comprehensive and comparatively way. The organisms included viruses, bacteria, microalgae, fungi, animal and human cells (including cancer cell lines). We found that growth of biological systems of different taxonomical groups –in vitro, at a cellular level- is inhibited at concentrations of AgNPs within the same order of magnitude (101 μg/ml). Thus, the AgNPs toxicity does not depend on the complexity of the organisms. The fact that cells and virus are inhibited with a concentration of AgNPs within the same order of magnitude could be explained considering that silver affects fundamental structures for cells and virus alike. Actualmente, las nanopartículas de plata (AgNPs) se estudian ampliamente para aplicaciones biomédicas, pero a pesar de que los nanomateriales proporcionan muchos beneficios, recientemente su toxicidad comparativa apenas se ha explorado. En el trabajo actual, la toxicidad de AgNPs en sistemas biológicos de diferentes niveles de complejidad se evaluó de forma exhaustiva y comparativa. Los organismos incluyen virus, bacterias, microalgas, hongos, células animales y humanas (incluidas líneas celulares cancerosas). Encontramos que el crecimiento de los sistemas biológicos de diferentes grupos taxonómicos -in vitro, a nivel celular- se inhibe a concentraciones de AgNP dentro del mismo orden de magnitud (101 μg / ml). Por lo tanto, la toxicidad de AgNPs no depende de la complejidad de los organismos. El hecho de que las células y los virus se inhiban con una concentración de AgNP dentro del mismo orden de magnitud podría explicarse teniendo en cuenta que la plata afecta las estructuras fundamentales de las células y virus por igual. 2018-09-01 2021-06-03T03:52:20Z 2021-06-03T03:52:20Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Research article Artículo de investigación https://recit.uabc.mx/index.php/revista/article/view/oba15 10.37636/recit.v11811 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6983 eng https://recit.uabc.mx/index.php/revista/article/view/oba15/8-11 https://recit.uabc.mx/index.php/revista/article/view/oba15/html https://recit.uabc.mx/index.php/revista/article/view/oba15/OBA15 Copyright (c) 2018 Vázquez-Muñoz Roberto, Borrego-Rivero Belén, Juárez-Moreno Karla Oyuky, García-García Maritza Roxana, Mota Morales Josué David, Bogdanchinkova Nina, Huerta-Saquero Alejandro http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf text/html application/xml Universidad Autónoma de Baja California REVISTA DE CIENCIAS TECNOLÓGICAS; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2018); 8-11 REVISTA DE CIENCIAS TECNOLÓGICAS; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2018); 8-11 2594-1925
