Synthesis of the Supramolecular Structure of Vanadium Pentoxide Nanoparticles with Native and Modified β-Cyclodextrins for Antimicrobial Performance.

ABSTRACT: Cyclodextrins in metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) serve as stabilizing, dispersing, and functionalizing agents that enhance antimicrobial performance through better nanoparticle stability, synergistic action, and potential controlled release mechanisms, making them ideal for advanced biomedical and environmental antimicrobial applications. In this study, NPs of vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) were obtained by the precipitation method, and, following a supramolecular assembly, were synthesized using the impregnation method via addition of β-cyclodextrin (BCD) and its derivatives, such as hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HCD) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD). The formation of the V₂O₅:CDs was driven by non-covalent host-guest interactions, leading to a stable
