• Abstract:

  The purpose of this project was to develop an antiseptic gel based on bioactive compounds of Origanum vulgare and Aloe vera incorporated with SiO2 and ZnO - SnO2 nanoparticles, to obtain a broad spectrum of bactericidal and virucidal action. Currently, in Mexico, the sanitary crisis caused by SARS-CoV-2 has had a significant impact on Mexican families, since hygiene and disinfection is the main concern of Mexicans. This problem has led the population to purchase antiseptic gels with a narrower spectrum of action, in order to reduce the cost of disinfection products. ZnO nanoparticles present antimicrobial properties, which together with SnO2 nanoparticles, which have photocatalytic properties, generate a synergy. Likewise, the liberating properties of the SiO2 nanoparticles show a better antimicrobial activity as a function of the antiseptic gel based on bioactive compounds of Origanum vulgare and Aloe vera.
