Metallo-β-lactamases are bacterial zinc-dependent enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of β-lactamic antibiotics representing the main cause of bacterial resistance to carbapenems, drugs of last resort for treating infections caused by multiresistant bacteria. We elaborated the hypothesis that it is possible to inhibit the enzymatic activity of metallo-β-lactamases by lowering the availability of zinc in the extracellular medium using metal chelating agents such as EDTA carried on nanoparticles. Chitosan, as linear cationic polysaccharide is frequently used in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, has been studied as a biocompatible encapsulating agent in drug delivery systems and is an ideal transport agent for bioactive molecular complexes in antibiotic applications due to its ability to associate with negatively charged substances. We developed novel nanoparticles using chitosan as a transport matrix for β-lactamic antibiotics. Nanoparticles were synthesized according to the ion gelation method using tripolyphosphate as crosslinking agent. Nanoparticles were functionalized by the adsorption of EDTA, which acts as complexifying agent for Zn2+ ions causing inhibition of metallo-β-lactamases activity. We evaluate the antimicrobial effects of EDTA-functionalized nanoparticles with an imipenem cargo on the clinical isolate P. aeruginosa AG1, a carbapenem-resistant high-risk clone ST-111 carrying both blaIMP-18 and blaVIM-2 metallo-β-lactamases genes.

With the intensifying challenge of global warming driven largely by anthropogenic activities, effective greenhouse gas capture techniques are critical. This paper focuses on the role of deep eutectic solvents(DES) as promising agents for such capture at the source. We review the key DES-based methods for greenhouse gas capture, drawing conclusions from a thorough analysis of the existing literature. In particular, we examine the effect of DES structure on gas solubilities and explore the mechanism of gas solubility in DES through molecular simulation. We present a synthesis of state-of-the-art results in this area, assessing the potential of DES as an alternative to current industrial gas capture methods. Furthermore, we propose future research directions for the design of novel DES tailored to more specific applications.
