Table 2 Synthesis of CDs and the eradication of S. aureus
From: Assembly of Carbon Dots into Frameworks with Enhanced Stability and Antibacterial Activity
Name | Synthesis condition | MIC | Cytotoxicity | Refs. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
CQDs | Hydrothermal method using ammonium citrate at 180 ℃ | 50 μg/mL | Several cancer cells showed little cytotoxicity response (cell viability > 90%) with 50 μg/mL CQDs | [29] |
CDs | Hydrothermal method using m-aminophenol and tartaric acid at 180 ℃ | 250 μg/mL | The cell viability of HeLa cells exceeds 70% at 400 μg/mL of CDs | [16] |
ACDs | The smoke of A. argyi leaves from burning was collected and filtered | S. aureus was not completely inhibited by ACDs of 150 μg/mL | 85% of 293 T cells survived at 150 μg/mL of ACDs | |
CDFs | Hydrothermal method using L-cysteine and NaOH at 160 ℃ | 30 μg/mL | CDFs promoted PC12 cell proliferation. Thus, the cell viability is larger than 100%, indicating the nerve protection potential | Current work |
