Abstract
A bactericidal and structural study on the "cetylpyridinium chloride-clinoptilolite" associates has been carried out. For the first time, the samples were synthesized using the powdered clinoptilolite from the Sokyrnytsia deposit (Transcarpathian region, Ukraine). Eight "cetylpyridinium chloride-clinoptilolite" associates have been synthesized using different cetylpyridinium chloride concentrations and further characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR techniques. The association of the cetylpyridinium cation with the zeolite anionic matrix has been studied. It was found that the adsorption of the cetylpyridinium cations occurs on the clinoptilolite surface without destroying the anionic zeolite framework. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the associates was analyzed, and a significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans strains was observed, which is caused by the cetylpyridinium cation presence. Unmodified natural and acid-treated clinoptilolites did not show antibacterial activity; however, these can be effectively used as a matrix carrier for the cetylpyridinium cation.
期刊介绍:
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience, bioscience and applied chemistry. Submissions are solicited in all topical areas, ranging from basic aspects of the science materials to practical applications of such materials. With 6 issues per year, the first one published on the 15th of February of 2011, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an open-access journal, making all research results freely available online. The aim is to publish original papers, short communications as well as review papers highlighting interdisciplinary research, the potential applications of the molecules and materials in the bio-field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
