Identification of antibiotics using small molecule variable ligand display on gold nanoparticles

Abstract: Here we describe the use of simple 1-pot thiol exchange reactions to generate a library of mixed ligand-coated gold nanoparticles that was screened for antibiotic activity. A library of 120 nanoparticle conjugates was assembled and antibiotic activity toward E. coli was determined and found to depend upon the combination of thiols assembled onto the nanoparticles. The most active conjugate displayed 99.9% growth inhibition at 0.5 μM.

“…Gold nanoparticles display a variety of properties [7] and have important applications as diverse as cosmetics [8], electronics [9], therapeutics [10][11][12], imaging [13,14], drug delivery [15,16], and pollution remediation [17,18]. The mentioned applications often call for monodisperse nanoparticles of a particular size in large quantities and/or at high concentrations [19,20].…”

“…Thus, it is essential to evaluate their safety. Previous studies have demonstrated AuNPs are well tolerated in vivo [15], and in vitro toxicity may be primarily related to moieties attached to the nanoparticle, rather than the gold particle itself [12,13,18,2426]. Here, when administered to mice, no symptoms of toxicity were seen over 24 h. In vitro toxicity was preliminarily evaluated by measuring a marker of early apoptosis over 3 days of exposure, and we found no evidence of toxicity.…”

“…P-mercaptobenzoic acid (pMBA) coated AuNPs were synthesized according to our previous publications [12,13]. A solution of 20 mM HAuCl 4 (Strem, MA, USA) dissolved in 20 ml of methanol was combined with 85.0 mM pMBA dissolved in pH 12 ultrapure water.…”

“…[ 126 ] Examples include analysis of the neurotransmitter dopamine using ferrocene-capped gold nanoparticle/streptavidin conjugates, [ 127 ] identification of anti-biotics [ 128 ] and aflatoxin B1, [ 129 ] as well as application in live-cell imaging. [130] The 3MBA-derived Os3 cluster [Os3(CO)10(µ-H)(3MBA)] 26a has been used to modify silver nanoparticles; TEM analysis showed the presence of spherical particles with an average size of 2.9 ± 0.6 nm.…”
