Quercetin-Derived Platinum Nanomaterials Influence Particle Stability, Catalytic, and Antimicrobial Performance.

ABSTRACT: Quercetin possesses high biological properties but low bioavailability, poor solubility, and rapid body clearance. Its structural modification is imperative for enhanced applications. Herein, we demonstrate the catalytic and antimicrobial characteristics of shape-dependent (cuboidal and peanuts) platinum nanoparticles. Modified quercetin, 4^'-QP, was employed as the reducing and stabilizing agent for the aqueous synthesis of PtNPs without extraneous reagents. Monodispersed platinum nanocubes (C-PtNPs) and nanopeanuts (P-PtNPs) were produced by reacting 4^'-QP and Pt ions in the ratios of 3:1 and 1:1, respectively. TEM characterization confirmed the formation of Pt nanocubes and Pt nanopeanuts, with their corresponding sizes of 39.1 ± 0.20 and 45.1 ± 0.24 nm. The shape-d
