ANTIBIOTIC NANOMATERIAL

摘要

The invention provides a composition comprising nanoparticles, which nanoparticles comprise Allicin and an inorganic carrier. Further provided is a process for producing the composition of the invention, the process comprising treating precursor nanoparticles, comprising said inorganic carrier, with Allicin. The composition of the invention may be used as an antimicrobial agent or for treating a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, a viral infection, an infection by a pathogenic protozoan, a tumour, cancer or thrombosis, or to stimulate or enhance the immune system. The invention further provides antimicrobial films, coatings, coated products, packaging materials, and polymer compositions, all of which comprise said nanoparticles, and processes for producing the films, coatings and coated products.
