Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Naringenin based zinc oxide nanoparticles particles against dental pathogens Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis.

BACKGROUND: The invention of new medications has also introduced new emerging multi drug resistant microorganisms. The Nanoparticles have demonstrated a promising antibacterial activity against a variety of multi-drug resistant bacteria. It has reduced the dose requirement of the drug but also improved the bioavailability. Naringenin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruits, tomatoes and figs. It has proven potential as anti-cancer, antiviral, antibacterial, and cardio protective effects. Therefore the antimicrobial activity of combination of the Naringenin with zinc oxide based nanoparticles was thus evaluated against oral microbes.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesised by utilising zinc acetate dihydrate and NaOH as precursors using direct precipitation method followed by SEM. DPPH assay to evaluate radical scavenging activity of antioxidants. ABTS assay was performed to measure the interaction between an antioxidant and the pre-generated ABTS•+ radical cation. Zone of Inhibition test used to determine the susceptibility or resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibacterial agents. Results were evaluated.

RESULTS:  The increase in the antioxidant activity was observed by DPPH assay and ABTS inhibition when Naringenin with zinc oxide nanoparticles together were conjugated than Naringenin and Ascorbic acid alone.

CONCLUSION: When Nirangenin was conjugated with Zinc oxide particles, it showed better antioxidant properties and there was a high zone of inhibition when compared to amoxicillin and Naringenin separately.  Thus we can conclude that Naringenin conjugated with Zinc oxide nanoparticles showed better antimicrobial activity against dental pathogens like Candida albicans, Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis.
