Abstract

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a glycosylated antimicrobial protein present in milk with a molecular mass of 78 kDa. LPO is included in many biological processes and is well-known to have biocidal actions, acting as an active antibiotic and antiviral agent. The wide spectrum biocidal activity of LPO is mediated via a definite inhibitory system named lactoperoxidase system which plays a potent role in the innate immune response. With the current advancement in nanotechnology, nanoformulations can be developed for stabilizing and potentiating the activity of LPO for several applications. In the research described in this Research Communication, fresh LPO purified from bovine mammary gland secretions was used for nanoparticle synthesis using a simple thermal process at different pH and temperatures. The round-shaped nanoparticles (average size 229 nm) were successfully synthesized at pH 7.0 and a temperature of 75°C. These nanoparticles were tested against four different bacterial species namely S. flexineri, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and E. coli. The prepared nanoparticles exhibited strong inhibition of the growth against all four bacterial species as stated by their MIC and ZOI values. These results may help in increasing the efficiency of lactoperoxidase system and will assist in identifying novel avenues to enhance the stability and antimicrobial function of LPO in drug discovery and industrial processes.
