Synergistic Activity of Noble Trimetallic Nanofluids: Unveiling Unprecedented Antimicrobial Potential and Computational Insights.

Abstract

Nanofluids hold significant promise in diverse applications, particularly in biomedicine, where noble trimetallic nanofluids outperformed their monometallic counterparts. The composition, morphology, and size of these nanofluids play pivotal roles in their functionality. Controlled synthesis methods have garnered attention, focusing on precise morphology, content, biocompatibility, and versatile chemistry. Understanding how reaction parameters such as time, reducing agents, stabilizers, precursor concentration, temperature, and pH affect size and shape during synthesis is crucial. Trimetallic nanofluids, with their ideal composition, size, surface structure, and synergistic properties, are gaining traction in antimicrobial applications. These nanofluids were tested against seven microorganisms, demonstrating a heightened antimicrobial efficacy. Computational analyses, including molecular docking, dynamics, density functional theory (DFT), molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) analysis, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicology studies (ADMET) provided insights into binding interactions, energy, reactivity, and safety profiles, affirming the antimicrobial potential of trimetallic nanofluids. These findings emphasize the importance of controlled synthesis and computational validation in harnessing the unique properties of trimetallic nanofluids for biomedical applications.
