Evaluating the MDCK cell permeability of greenly synthesize bimetallic Ag/Zn Nanoparticles using leaf extract of Vallaris solanacea as a potential antipesticide-resistant agent

Abstract

Abstract Bimetallic nanoparticles, particularly Ag/Zn bimetallic nanoparticles, have gained increasing attention due to their unique properties, making them suitable for a variety of applications such as catalysis, water treatment, and environmental remediation. This study aimed to elucidate the use of bimetallic nanoparticles of Ag/Zn as an alternative to resistant pesticides for pest control. Furthermore, this research demonstrates that BNPs can target specific pollutants and degrade them through various mechanisms. BNP docking with the Nilaparvata lugens cytochrome P450 (CYP6ER1) protein exhibited the lowest binding energy of −7.5 kcal/mol. The cell permeability analysis of BNP in plant cells reveals that the BNP has 0 % permeability towards any cell at −10 kcal/mol energy, which is the lowest free energy translocation pathway. The harmful leftover residues of the pesticides have a higher chance of degradability in case of interaction with BNP validated by chemical–chemical interaction analysis. Additionally, MDCK permeability coefficient of small molecules based on the regression model was calculated for BNP which authenticated the efficiency of BNP. Moreover, Swiss ADMET simulated absorption using a boiled egg model with no blood–brain barrier and gastrointestinal crossing for the expected BNP molecule has been observed. Significantly, the findings indicate that employing bimetallic nanoparticles like Ag/Zn is a crucial strategy for bioremediation because they proficiently decompose pesticides while posing no risk to humans. Our results will facilitate the design of novel BNPs materials for environmental remediation and pest control ensuring human health safety that are predicated on bimetallic nanoparticles.
