Use of Cyrene™, as an alternative to dimethyl sulfoxide, as a diluent for Melatonin to determine its in vitro antimicrobial capacity
Melatonin (MLT) is a methoxyindole that has potent antioxidant actions, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic capacity. However, its in vitro antibacterial capacity has been the least studied of its properties. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) has been the most used solvent for these tests, but it shows an antimicrobial effect if it is not dissolved. Cyrene™ is a new solvent that has emerged as an alternative to DMSO. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antimicrobial capacity of MLT by MIC assays, using Cyrene™ as a solvent. Likewise, the solubility of MLT in this solvent and whether it exerted any effect on bacterial growth at different percentages was also determined. Different dilutions of MLT in Cyrene™ with different concentrations, were prepared. No growth inhibition caused by MLT was observed. The growth inhibition observed was because of Cyrene™. The maximum amount of MLT that can be diluted in 100% Cyrene is 10 mg/mL, but this percentage of solvent shows a bactericidal effect. Therefore, it must be dissolved at 5% to avoid this effect, so only 4 mg/mL of MLT can be diluted in it. Therefore, if no other solvents are available, the in vitro antibacterial role of MLT cannot be adequately assessed.
期刊介绍:
Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to
microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any
experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly
biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into
microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts.
Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published.
Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are
acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses
emerge.
