Novel Copper Oxide Bio-Nanocrystals to Target Outer Membrane Lectin of Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> (VREfm): In Silico, Bioavailability, Antimicrobial, and Anticancer Potential

In present study, we used <i>Olea europaea</i> leaf extract to biosynthesize in situ Copper Oxide nanocrystals (<i>CuO @OVLe NCs</i>) with powerful antibacterial and anti-cancer capabilities. Physio-chemical analyses, such as UV/Vis, FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM, and TEM, were applied...

description In present study, we used <i>Olea europaea</i> leaf extract to biosynthesize in situ Copper Oxide nanocrystals (<i>CuO @OVLe NCs</i>) with powerful antibacterial and anti-cancer capabilities. Physio-chemical analyses, such as UV/Vis, FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM, and TEM, were applied to characterize <i>CuO @OVLe NCs</i>. The UV/Vis spectrum demonstrated a strong peak at 345 nm. Furthermore, FTIR, XRD, and EDX validated the coating operation’s contact with colloidal <i>CuO @OVLe NCs</i>. According to TEM and SEM analyses, <i>CuO @OVLe NCs</i> exhibited a spherical shape and uniform distribution of size with aggregation, for an average size of ~75 nm. The nanoparticles demonstrated a considerable antibacterial effect against <i>E. faecium</i> bacterial growth, as well as an increased inhibition rate in a dose-dependent manner on the MCF-7, PC3, and HpeG2 cancer cell lines and a decreased inhibition rate on WRL-68. Molecular docking and MD simulation were used to demonstrate the high binding affinity of a ligand (Oleuropein) toward the lectin receptor complex of the outer membrane to vancomycin-resistant <i>E. faecium</i> (VREfm) via amino acids (Leu 195, Thr 288, His 165, and Ser 196). Hence, our results expand the accessibility of <i>OVLe’s</i> bioactive components as a promising natural source for the manufacture of physiologically active components and the creation of green biosynthesis of metal nanocrystals.
