Natural Berberine-Based Chinese Herb Medicine Assembled Nanostructures with Modified Antibacterial Application
Abstract
The abuse of traditional antibiotics has caused a series of health problems including antimicrobial resistance, which threatens human health. Therefore, searching for broad sources of antimicrobial agents and developing multidimensional strategies to combat bacterial infections are urgent. Here, we reported two natural self-assembling modes between berberine (BBR) and flavonoid glycosides: nanoparticles (NPs) and nanofibers (NFs), which were both mainly governed by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. These two nanostructures exhibited different antibacterial properties from BBR. NPs showed significantly enhanced bacteriostatic activity, whereas NFs displayed a much weaker effect than BBR. The distinguishing properties can be attributed to the different spatial configurations and self-assembly processes of NPs and NFs. Flavonoid glycosides and BBR first formed a one-dimensional complex unit and subsequently self-assembled into three-dimensional nanostructures. With the hydrophilic glucuronic acid toward the outside, NPs exhibited stronger affinity to bacteria, thereby inducing the collapse of the bacteria population and the decrease in biofilm. In addition, in vitro hemolysis tests, cytotoxicity tests, and in vivo zebrafish toxicity evaluation showed that the obtained self-assemblies had good biocompatibility. This supramolecular self-assembly strategy can be applied to construct other nanoscale antibacterial drugs and thus provides weapons for the development of self-delivering drugs in bacterial infection treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
