| Abstract | The poor water-solubility of realgar unfortunately results in poor bioavailability and hampers its medicinal application. In this work, water-soluble realgar nanoparticles (As$_{4}$S$_{4}$ NPs) were synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, a polymer directed assembly method was used to prepare for the As$_{4}$S$_{4}$ nanocomposites with beneficial bioavailability for antimicrobial applications. It is found that the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has a significant effect on formation and growth of quasispherical As$_{4}$S$_{4}$-PVP nanocomposite with a narrow size distribution of (65±5) nm. In the case of using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), the dendritic As$_{4}$S$_{4}$-CMC nanocomposite was obtained with particle size of (120±25) nm in predominant length. The FTIR spectra studies demonstrated the interaction between the polymers and the assembled As$_{4}$S$_{4}$. The antimicrobial assays indicated that the stabilized As$_{4}$S$_{4}$-polymer nanocomposites showed superior antimicrobial activity against uncoated As$_{4}$S$_{4}$ NPs both on gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The TEM images of bacterial ultrathin sections showed the damage and disorganization of cell wall, suggesting the membrane-associated antimicrobial activity of As$_{4}$S$_{4}$-PVP nanocomposite. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
