Abstract
The growth of material science and technology places a high importance on the creation of better processes for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. So that, an easy, ecological, and benign process for producing copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) has been developed using candy leaf (Stevia rebaudiana) leaves aqueous extract for the first time. UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), Fourier transmission infrared (FTIR), and zeta potential were applied to demonstrate strong characterization for the biosynthesized stevia-CuNPs. The UV-visible absorbance at 575 nm of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was 1.2. The particle size mean diameter was recorded as 362.3 nm with - 10.8 mV zeta potential. The HR-TEM scanning revealed 51.46-53.17 nm and spherical-shaped stevia-CuNPs surrounded by coat-shell proteins. The cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility activity assay revealed that stevia-CuNPs was safe in lower concentrations and had a significant cell viability reduction in higher concentrations. The produced stevia-CuNPs were applied as antimicrobial agents against eight pathogenic bacteria and five fungi strains. The inhibitory action of the stevia-CuNPs was more pronounced in bacteria than in fungi, and they likewise demonstrated further inhibition zones in Staphylococcus aureus (50.0 mm) than in Aspergillus flavus (55.0 mm). With inhibition zone sizes of 50.0 mm and 47.0 mm and 50 µg/ml minimum inhibitory concentration, S. aureus and A. flavus were the most inhibited pathogens. The minimum lethal effect (MLC) estimate for S. aureus was 50 µg/ml, whereas 75 µg/ml for A. flavus. The stevia-CuNPs mode of action was characterized as bactericidal/fungicidal as the ratio of MIC to MLC was estimated to be equal to or less than 2. After all, stevia-CuNPs could be used as an alternative to commercial antibiotics to solve the problem of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marine macroalgae is consumed by individuals in several regions, including Scandinavia, Great Britain, Ireland, China, and Japan; in Japan, it is commonly referred to as aosa. Copper nanoparticles are primarily composed of copper and exhibit a size distribution ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Copper nanoparticles can be synthesized using chemical or natural means, similar to other nanoparticle variants. The nanoparticles in question have garnered significant attention owing to their historical utilization as coloring agents, as well as their contemporary applicability in medicine and antibacterial treatments. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles derived from Ulva lactuca seaweed and explore their in vitro antioxidative potential. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seaweed samples (10 g) were mixed with 50 ml of distilled water and placed in a shaker for two days. Copper sulfate (10 mM) was mixed with 100 ml of distilled water to obtain a copper (Cu) solution. Cu nanoparticles were then synthesized by adding the aqueous extract to 100 ml of the Cu solution and mixing it in an orbital shaker at 180 rpm for 24 hours. They were observed both visually and via ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry to confirm their nanoparticle synthesis. The initial reading was performed using a UV-visible spectrometer at 300-800 nm. The sample was centrifuged at approximately 8000 rpm for 15 minutes, the pellet was removed, and the pellet was dried in a hot-air oven. The synthesized Cu nanoparticles were then investigated using in vitro antioxidant assays. RESULT The seaweed-derived copper nanoparticles exhibited a 1.2 peak absorbance at 580 nm. Various concentrations of copper nanoparticles (25, 50, 75, and 100 µg/ml) were tested for free radical scavenging. As the copper nanoparticle concentration increased, the scavenging ability on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals assay showed that the free radical scavenging activity increased in a dose-dependent manner. Similar to the DPPH assay, the total antioxidant and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)assays showed increased free radical scavenging with increasing concentration. CONCLUSION The application of Cu nanoparticles in the synthesis process has the potential to enhance the antioxidant activity of Ulva lactuca as evidenced by the observed increase in antioxidant capacity and defense against reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Treating wound infections is a challenging concern in various clinical settings in Egypt, especially in the increasing global problem of resistance to antimicrobials. Here, we aimed to fabricate CuO NPs via green synthesis using aqueous Yucca gigantea extract. Then, the effect of green synthesized CuO NPs on Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates has been studied in vivo and in vitro. The aqueous extract of Yucca gigantea has been employed in our study as a scale-up approach to safely, affordably, sustainably, and practically fabricate copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis spectroscopy were utilized in vitro to describe the bonding features of CuO NPs.Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to detect the morphological and elemental composition of the resulting CuO NPs. The fabrication of CuO NPs was confirmed by the IR spectral band at 515 cm-1, ensuring the metal-oxygen bondCu-O with two strong bands at 229 and 305 nm. SEM and TEM show CuO NPs with a size range from 30 to 50 nm. Cu and O comprised most of the particles produced through green synthesis, with weight percentages of 57.82 and 42.18 %, respectively. CuO NPs were observed to have a Zeta-potential value of -15.7 mV, demonstrating their great stability. CuO NPs revealed antibacterial potential toward the tested isolates with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 128 to 512 µg/mL. CuO NPs had antibiofilm potential by crystal violet assay, downregulating the expression of icaA and icaD genes in 23.07 % and 19.32 of the S. aureus isolates. The wound-healing potential of CuO NPs was investigated in vivo. It significantly decreased the bacterial burden and increased wound healing percentage compared to the positive control group. Moreover, CuO NPs caused an upregulation of the genes encoding platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibronectin in tissue repair. Thus, we can use CuO NPs as a future source for wound healing materials, especially in infected wounds.

Abstract
In this study, phosphorus (PO43--P) is removed from water samples using zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). These nanoparticles are produced easily, quickly, and sustainably using Onion extracts (Allium cepa) at an average crystallite size of 8.13 nm using the Debye-Scherrer equation in the hexagonal wurtzite phase. The characterization and investigation of bio-synthesis ZnO NPs were carried out. With an initial concentration of 250 mg/L of P, the effects of the adsorbent dose, pH, contact time, and temperature were examined. At pH = 3 and T = 300 K, ZnO NPs achieved the optimum sorption capacity of 84 mg/g, which was superior to many other adsorbents. The isothermal study was found to fit the Langmuir model at a monolayer capacity of 89.8 mg/g, and the kinetic study was found to follow the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process was verified to be endothermic and spontaneous by thermodynamic characteristics. As a result of their low cost as an adsorbent and their high metal absorption, ZnO NPs were found to be the most promising sorbent in this investigation and have the potential to be used as effective sorbents for the removal of P from aqueous solutions. The antimicrobial activity results showed that ZnO NPs concentration had greater antibacterial activity than conventional Cefotaxime, which was utilized as a positive control in the inhibitory zone. However, no inhibitory zone was visible in the controlled wells that had been supplemented with onion extract and DMSO.

Abstract
The nature of microorganisms and the efficiency of antimicrobials have witnessed a huge co-dependent change in their dynamics over the last few decades. On the other side, metals and metallic compounds have gained popularity owing to their effectiveness against various microbial strains. A structured search of both research and review papers was conducted via different electronic databases, such as PubMed, Bentham, Springer, and Science Direct, among others, for the present review. Along with these, marketed products, patents, and Clinicaltrials.gov were also referred to for our review. Different microbes such as bacteria, fungi, etc., and their diverse species and strains have been reviewed and found to be sensitive to metal-carrying formulations. The products are observed to restrict growth, multiplication, and biofilm formation effectively and adequately. Silver has an apt use in this area of treatment and recovery, and other metals like copper, gold, iron, and gallium have also been observed to generate antimicrobial activity. The present review identified membrane disruption, oxidative stress, and interaction with proteins and enzymes to be the primary microbicidal processes. Elaborating the action, nanoparticles and nanosystems are shown to work in our favor in well excelled and rational ways.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is an interdisciplinary field where nanostructured objects are applied to treat or diagnose disease. Nanoparticles (NPs) are a special class of materials at nanometric scale that can be prepared from lipids, polymers, or noble metals through bottom-up approaches. Biological synthesis is a reliable, sustainable, and non-toxic bottom-up method that uses phytochemicals, microorganisms, and enzymes to induce the reduction of metal ions into NPs. Silver (Ag) NPs exhibit potent therapeutic properties that can be exploited to overcome the limitations of current treatment modalities for human health issues such as lung cancer (LC). Here, we review the preparation of AgNPs using biological synthesis and their application against LC using in vitro and in vivo models. An overview of the staging, diagnosis, genetic mutations, and treatment of LC, as well as its main subtypes, is presented. A summary of the reaction mechanisms of AgNPs using microbial cell cultures, plant extracts, phytochemicals, and amino acids is included. The use of capping agents in the biosynthesis of AgNPs with anticancer activity is also detailed. The history and biological activities of metal-based nanostructures synthesized with gold, copper, palladium, and platinum are considered. The possible anticancer mechanisms of AgNPs against LC models are covered. Our perspective about the future of AgNPs in LC treatment and nanomedicine is added.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a pathogenic bacteria that causes a variety of potentially fatal infections. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of S. aureus has made treatment even more difficult. In recent years, nanoparticles have been used as an alternative therapeutic agent for S. aureus infections. Among various methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles, the method utilizing plant extracts from different parts of a plant, such as root, stem, leaf, flower, seeds, etc. is gaining widespread usage. Phytochemicals present in plant extract are an inexpensive, eco-friendly, natural material that act as reducing and stabilization agent for the nanoparticle synthesis. The utilization of plant-fabricated nanoparticles against S. aureus is currently in trend. The current review discusses recent findings in the therapeutic application of phytofabricated metal-based nanoparticles against Staphylococcus aureus.

Pharm Nanotechnol 2022; 10:310-326. [PMID: 36017866 DOI: 10.2174/2211738510666220823152415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Copper nanoparticle (CuNP) has well-established antimicrobial activity. Instability in an aqueous medium due to aggregation into larger particles, conversion into metal ions, and oxidation into metal oxides are the major limitations of its practical use against bacterial infections. OBJECTIVE Development of CuNP Conjugated Chitosan Microparticles as a reservoir that will release CuNP effective against notorious bacteria like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. METHODS CuNP conjugated chitosan microparticles (CNCCM) were synthesized using a simple twostep process. In the first step, a solution of chitosan in 2% (w/v) ascorbic acid was added dropwise in copper sulphate solution to prepare Cu ion conjugated chitosan beads. In the second step, these beads were soaked in sodium hydroxide solution to get the CNCCM. The dried CNCCM were characterized thoroughly for surface conjugation of CuNP, and the release of CuNP in a suitable medium. The physicochemical properties of release CuNP were further verified with the in silico modelled CuNP. The Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of released CuNp were evaluated against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). RESULTS 2% (w/v) ascorbic acid solution (pH 3.5) was the optimum medium for the release of ~2 nm CuNP from CNCCM. The CuNP had an optical band gap of ~ 2 eV. It inhibited the cell wall synthesis of MRSA. The minimum inhibitory concentration was 200 nM. At 100 nM dose, the CuNP caused ~73% reduction in biofilm development after 24 h of growth. The cytotoxic effect of CuNP on the human cell line (HEK 293) was significantly less than that on MRSA. The 48 h IC50 value against HEK 293 was 3.45-fold higher than the MIC value against MRSA after 24 h treatment. CONCLUSION CuNP Conjugated Chitosan Microparticle has been developed. It works as a stable reservoir of ~2 nm CuNP. The CuNP is released in an aqueous medium containing 2% (w/v) ascorbic acid (pH 3.5). The released CuNP has a bacteriostatic effect against MRSA at a concentration safe for human cells.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3856. [PMID: 36364632 PMCID: PMC9658237 DOI: 10.3390/nano12213856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Candida albicans (ATCC SC5314) was exposed to biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) to determine their inhibitory capacity. Nanoparticles were polydisperse of small size (5.8 ± 3.5 nm) with irregular shape. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against C. albicans was 35.5 µg/mL. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of C. albicans was verified when exposed to different concentrations of CuONPs. Ultrastructural analysis of C. albicans revealed a high concentration of CuONPs in the cytoplasm and outside the cell; also, nanoparticles were detected within the cell wall. Cytotoxic analyses using fibroblasts (L929), macrophages (RAW 264.7), and breast (MCF-12) cell lines show good results of cell viability when exposed at the MIC. Additionally, a hemocompatibility analysis was carried out and was found to be below 5%, considered the threshold for biocompatibility. Therefore, it is concluded that the biosynthesized CuONPs have a high potential for developing a topical antifungal treatment.

Abstract
Pathogenic fungal infections in fruit cause economic losses and have deleterious effects on human health globally. Despite the low pH and high water contents of vegetables and fresh, ripened fruits, they are prone to fungal and bacterial diseases. The ever-increasing resistance of phytopathogens toward pesticides, fungicides and bactericides has resulted in substantial threats to plant growth and production in recent years. However, plant-mediated nanoparticles are useful tools for combating parasitic fungi and bacteria. Herein, we synthesized biogenic manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) from an extract of Punica granatum (P. granatum), and these nanoparticles showed significant antifungal and antibacterial activities. The production of MnONPs from plant extracts was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV visible spectroscopy (UV). The surface morphology and shape of the nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Using a detached fruit method, the MnONPs were shown to exhibit significant antimicrobial activities against two bacterial strains, E. coli and S. aureus, and against the fungal species P. digitatum. The results revealed that the MnONPs had a minimum antimicrobial activity at 25 µg/mL and a maximum antimicrobial activity at 100 µg/mL against bacterial strains in lemon (citrus). Furthermore, the MnONPs exhibited significant ROS scavenging activity. Finally, inconclusive results from the green-synthesized MnONPs magnified their significant synergetic effects on the shelf life of tomatoes (Lycopercicum esculantum) and indicated that they could be used to counteract the phytopathological effects of postharvest fungal diseases in fruits and vegetables. Overall, this method of MnONPs synthesis is inexpensive, rapid and ecofriendly. MnONPs can be used as potential antimicrobial agents against different microbial species.

A Novel C@Fe@Cu Nanocomposite Loaded with Doxorubicin Tailored for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091845.

Abstract
High mortality and morbidity rates are related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most prevalent type of liver cancer. A new vision for cancer treatment and cancer cell targeting has emerged with the application of nanotechnology, which reduces the systemic toxicity and adverse effects of chemotherapy medications while increasing their effectiveness. It was the goal of the proposed work to create and investigate an anticancer C@Fe@Cu nanocomposite (NC) loaded with Doxorubicin (DOX) for the treatment of HCC. Scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM) were used to examine the morphology of the produced NC. The formulation variables (DOX content, C@Fe@Cu NC weight, and stirring speed) were analyzed and optimized using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Additionally, X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) were investigated. Doxorubicin and DOX- loaded C@Fe@Cu NC (DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC) were also assessed against HEPG2 cells for anticancer efficacy (Hepatic cancer cell line). The results revealed the formation of C@Fe@Cu NC with a mean size of 7.8 nm. A D-R model with a mean size of 24.1 nm best fits the adsorption behavior of DOX onto the C@Fe@Cu NC surface. DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC has also been demonstrated to have a considerably lower IC50 and higher cytotoxicity than DOX alone in an in vitro investigation. Therefore, DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC is a promising DOX delivery vehicle for the full recovery of HCC.

Abstract
Transforming biological waste into high-value-added materials is currently attracting extensive research interest in the medical and industrial treatment fields. The design and use of new antibacterial systems are urgently needed. In this study, we used discarded oyster shell powder (OSP) to prepare calcium oxide (CaO). CaO was mixed with silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) ions as a controlled release and antibacterial system to test the antibacterial activity. The inhibition zones of various modified metals were between 22 and 29 mm for Escherichia coli (E. coli) and between 21 and 24 mm for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In addition, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) combined with CaO and metal ion forms can be an excellent alternative to a hybrid composite. The strength modulus at 1% LLDPE to LLDPE/CaO Ag increased from 297 to 320 MPa. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of LLDPE/CaO/metal ions against E. coli had an antibacterial effect of about 99.9%. Therefore, this hybrid composite material has good potential as an antibacterial therapy and biomaterial suitable for many applications.

Abstract
Interest in nanomaterials and especially nanoparticles has exploded in the past decades primarily due to their novel or enhanced physical and chemical properties compared to bulk material. These extraordinary properties have created a multitude of innovative applications in the fields of medicine and pharma, electronics, agriculture, chemical catalysis, food industry, and many others. More recently, nanoparticles are also being synthesized ‘biologically’ through the use of plant- or microorganism-mediated processes, as an environmentally friendly alternative to the expensive, energy-intensive, and potentially toxic physical and chemical synthesis methods. This transdisciplinary approach to nanoparticle synthesis requires that biologists and biotechnologists understand and learn to use the complex methodology needed to properly characterize these processes. This review targets a bio-oriented audience and summarizes the physico–chemical properties of nanoparticles, and methods used for their characterization. It highlights why nanomaterials are different compared to micro- or bulk materials. We try to provide a comprehensive overview of the different classes of nanoparticles and their novel or enhanced physicochemical properties including mechanical, thermal, magnetic, electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. A comprehensive list of the common methods and techniques used for the characterization and analysis of these properties is presented together with a large list of examples for biogenic nanoparticles that have been previously synthesized and characterized, including their application in the fields of medicine, electronics, agriculture, and food production. We hope that this makes the many different methods more accessible to the readers, and to help with identifying the proper methodology for any given nanoscience problem.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) produced by green synthesis using plant extracts have attracted huge interest in the scientific community due to their excellent antibacterial, antifungal and antibiofilm activities. To evaluate these pharmacological properties, several methods or protocols have been successfully developed and implemented. Although these protocols were mostly inspired by the guidelines from national and international regulatory bodies, they suffer from a glaring absence of standardization of the experimental conditions. This situation leads to a lack of reproducibility and comparability of data from different study settings. To minimize these problems, guidelines for the antimicrobial and antibiofilm evaluation of MNPs should be developed by specialists in the field. Being aware of the immensity of the workload and the efforts required to achieve this, we set out to undertake a meticulous literature review of different experimental protocols and laboratory conditions used for the antimicrobial and antibiofilm evaluation of MNPs that could be used as a basis for future guidelines. This review also brings together all the discrepancies resulting from the different experimental designs and emphasizes their impact on the biological activities as well as their interpretation. Finally, the paper proposes a general overview that requires extensive experimental investigations to set the stage for the future development of effective antimicrobial MNPs using green synthesis.

Abstract
In recent years, the proportion of organic and inorganic contaminants has increased rapidly due to growing human interference and represents a threat to ecosystems. The removal of these toxic pollutants from the environment is a difficult task. Physical, chemical and biological methods are implemented for the degradation of toxic pollutants from the environment. Among existing technologies, bioremediation in combination with nanotechnology is the most promising and cost-effective method for the removal of pollutants. Numerous studies have shown that exceptional characteristics of nanomaterials such as improved catalysis and adsorption properties as well as high reactivity have been subjects of great interest. There is an emerging trend of employing bacterial, fungal and algal cultures and their components, extracts or biomolecules as catalysts for the sustainable production of nanomaterials. They can serve as facilitators in the bioremediation of toxic compounds by immobilizing or inducing the synthesis of remediating microbial enzymes. Understanding the association between microorganisms, contaminants and nanoparticles (NPs) is of crucial importance. In this review, we focus on the removal of toxic pollutants using the cumulative effects of nanoparticles with microbial technology and their applications in different domains. Besides, we discuss how this novel nanobioremediation technique is significant and contributes towards sustainability.

Abstract
Green synthesis approaches are gaining significance as promising routes for the sustainable preparation of nanoparticles, offering reduced toxicity towards living organisms and the environment. Nanomaterials produced by green synthesis approaches can offer additional benefits, including reduced energy inputs and lower production costs than traditional synthesis, which bodes well for commercial-scale production. The biomolecules and phytochemicals extracted from microbes and plants, respectively, are active compounds that function as reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and algae, have been used in nanomaterials' biological synthesis for some time. Furthermore, the use of plants or plant extracts for metal and metal-based hybrid nanoparticle synthesis represents a novel green synthesis approach that has attracted significant research interest. This review discusses various biosynthesis approaches via microbes and plants for the green preparation of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and provides insights into the molecular aspects of the synthesis mechanisms and biomedical applications. The use of agriculture waste as a potential bioresource for nanoparticle synthesis and biomedical applications of biosynthesized nanoparticles is also discussed.

Phyto-Mediated Copper Oxide Nanoparticles for Antibacterial, Antioxidant and Photocatalytic Performances. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:820218. [PMID: 35252130 PMCID: PMC8889028 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.820218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The greatest challenge of the current generation and generations to come is antimicrobial resistance, as different pathogenic bacteria have continuously evolved to become resistant to even the most recently synthesized antibiotics such as carbapenems. Resistance to carbapenems limits the therapeutic options of MDR infections as they are the only safe and effective drugs recommended to treat such infections. This scenario has complicated treatment outcomes, even to the commonest bacterial infections. Repeated attempts to develop other approaches have been made. The most promising novel therapeutic option is the use of nanomaterials as antimicrobial agents. Thus, this study examined the efficacy of Camellia sinensis extract (CSE) and Prunus africana bark extract (PAE) green synthesized Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) against carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, the photocatalytic and antioxidant activities of CuONPs were evaluated to determine the potential of using them in a wide range of applications. CuONPs were biosynthesized by CSE and PAE. UV vis spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the nanoparticles. CuONPs susceptibility tests were carried out by the agar well diffusion method. The photocatalytic and antioxidant activities of the CuONPs were determined by the methylene blue and DPPH free radical scavenging assays, respectively. UV vis absorbance spectra registered surface plasmon resonance peaks between 272 and 286 nm, confirming the presence of CuONPs. The XRD array had nine strong peaks at 2θ values typical of CuONPs. FTIR spectra exhibited bands associated with organic functional groups confirming capping and functionalization of the CuONPs by the phytochemicals. DLS analysis registered a net zeta potential of +12.5 mV. SEM analysis revealed that the nanoparticles were spherical and clustered with a mean diameter of 6 nm. Phytosynthesized CuONPs exhibited the highest growth suppression zones of 30 mm with MIC ranging from 30 to 125 μg/ml against MDR bacteria. Furthermore, the CuONPs achieved a methylene blue dye photocatalysis degradation efficiency of 85.5% and a free radical scavenging activity of 28.8%. PAE and CSE successfully bio-reduced copper ions to the nanoscale level with potent antimicrobial, photocatalysis, and antioxidant activities.

Abstract
The current worldwide pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had alerted the population to the risk that small microorganisms can create for humankind’s wellbeing and survival. All of us have been affected, directly or indirectly, by this situation, and scientists all over the world have been trying to find solutions to fight this virus by killing it or by stop/decrease its spread rate. Numerous kinds of microorganisms have been occasionally created panic in world history, and several solutions have been proposed to stop their spread. Among the most studied antimicrobial solutions, are metals (of different kinds and applied in different formats). In this regard, this review aims to present a recent and comprehensive demonstration of the state-of-the-art in the use of metals, as well as their mechanisms, to fight different pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

Abstract
Dental pathogens lead to chronic diseases like periodontitis, which causes loss of teeth. Here, we examined the plausible antibacterial efficacy of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesized using Cupressus macrocarpa extract (CME) against periodontitis-causing bacteria. The antimicrobial properties of CME-CuNPs were then assessed against oral microbes (M. luteus. B. subtilis, P. aerioginosa) that cause periodontal disease and were identified using morphological/ biochemical analysis, and 16S-rRNA techniques. The CME-CuNPs were characterized, and accordingly, the peak found at 577 nm using UV-Vis spectrometer showed the formation of stable CME-CuNPs. Also, the results revealed the formation of spherical and oblong monodispersed CME-CuNPs with sizes ranged from 11.3 to 22.4 nm. The FTIR analysis suggested that the CME contains reducing agents that consequently had a role in Cu reduction and CME-CuNP formation. Furthermore, the CME-CuNPs exhibited potent antimicrobial efficacy against different isolates which was superior to the reported values in literature. The antibacterial efficacy of CME-CuNPs on oral bacteria was compared to the synergistic solution of clindamycin with CME-CuNPs. The solution exhibited a superior capacity to prevent bacterial growth. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) of CME-CuNPs with clindamycin recorded against the selected periodontal disease-causing microorganisms were observed between the range of 2.6-3.6 μg/ml, 4-5 μg/ml and 0.312-0.5, respectively. Finally, the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy exhibited by CME-CuNPs with clindamycin against the tested strains could be useful for the future development of more effective treatments to control dental diseases.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles are a new class of materials with applications in medicine, pharmaceutical and agriculture. Using biological, chemical and physical approaches, nanoparticles with amazing properties are obtained. Copper is one of the most-found elements and plays an important part in the normal functioning of organisms. Coper nanoparticles have superior antibacterial properties when comparing them to present day antibiotics. Moreover, apart from their antibacterial role, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer properties have been described. Although the mechanism of actions is not completely understood, copper nanoparticles can become a viable alternative in fighting multi-resistant bacteria strains. We hereby review the already existing data on copper nanoparticle synthesis, effects and mechanisms of action as well as toxicity.

Abstract
In this report, lanthanum strontium manganite at different Sr2+ ion concentrations, as well as Gd3+ or Sm3+ ion substituted La0.5-YMYSr0.5MnO3 (M = Gd and Sm, y = 0.2), have been purposefully tailored using a sol gel auto-combustion approach. XRD profiles confirmed the formation of a monoclinic perovskite phase. FE-SEM analysis displayed a spherical-like structure of the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 and La0.3Gd0.2Sr0.2MnO3 samples. The particle size of the LSM samples was found to decrease with increased Sr2+ ion concentration. For the first time, different LSM concentrations were inspected for their cytotoxic activity against CACO-2 (intestinal carcinoma cells) and HepG-2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma cells). The cell viability for CACO-2 and HepG-2 was assayed and seen to decrease depending on the Sr2+ ion concentration. Half maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 of CACO-2 cell and HepG-2 cell inhibition was connected with Sr2+ ion ratio. Low IC50 was noticable at low Sr2+ ion content. Such results were correlated to the particle size and the morphology. Indeed, the IC50 of CACO-2 cell inhibition by LSM at a strontium content of 0.2 was 5.63 ± 0.42 µg/mL, and the value increased with increased Sr2+ ion concentration by up to 0.8 to be = 25 ± 2.7 µg/mL. Meanwhile, the IC50 of HepG-2 cell inhibition by LSM at a strontium content of 0.2 was 6.73 ± 0.4 µg/mL, and the value increased with increased Sr2+ ion concentration by up to 0.8 to be 31± 3.1 µg/mL. All LSM samples at different conditions were tested as antimicrobial agents towards fungi, Gram positive bacteria, and Gram negative bacteria. For instance, all LSM samples were found to be active towards Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, whereas some samples have presumed antimicrobial effect towards Gram negative bacteria Proteus vulgaris. Such results confirmed that LSM samples possessed cytotoxicity against CACO-2 and HepG-2 cells, and they could be considered to play a substantial role in pharmaceutical and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Graphene-based metal oxide nanocomposites are interesting and promising kinds of nanocomposites due to their large specific area, fast kinetics, and specific affinity towards heavy metal contaminants. In this work, a facile and cost-effective route was used to synthesize CdO nanoparticles (CdO NPs) and graphene-based CdO nanocomposite (G–CdO). The prepared nanomaterials were characterized and explored for lead removal from water. Both CdO NPs and G–CdO composite exhibited excellent sorption capacity of 427 and 398 mg g−1, respectively, at pH 4.8 and T = 298 K, which was superior to individual graphene and many other adsorbents. The results indicated that the recovered nanomaterials endure 4 times recyclability retaining up to 89% lead uptake efficiency. To complement the experimental study, DFT calculations were performed to investigate the stability of the formed G–CdO composite compared to CdO NPs; the reactivity of G–CdO compared to plain graphene as well as the interaction insights between graphene and CdO clusters were studied using natural-bond-orbital (NBO), electron-localization-function (ELF) and reduced-density-gradient (RDG) analyses. Graphene-based metal oxide nanocomposites are interesting and promising kinds of nanocomposites due to their large specific area, fast kinetics, and specific affinity towards heavy metal contaminants.![]()

Abstract
Iron–copper bimetallic nanoparticles (Fe-Cu BNPs) were prepared via a green synthesis route. Ixora finlaysoniana has been used in this study as a capping and stabilizing agent in the modification of Fe-Cu BNPs. As-synthesized BNPs were characterized using different techniques including UV/Vis spectrophotometry, FTIR, XRD and SEM. A particle size analyzer and SEM studies indicated the particle size to be in the range of 50–200 nm. In addition, degradation of MB dye in an aqueous system and radical-scavenging potential in a DPPH assay were also examined using BNPs. Methylene blue dye degradation in 17 min was monitored with UV/Vis spectrophotometry, which exhibited the efficiency of Fe-Cu BNPs. Bimetallic nanoparticles were also found to be efficient in neutralizing DPPH free radicals. Furthermore, kinetic studies of both dye degradation and radical scavenging potential are reported in this article. Subsequently, Fe-Cu BNPs synthesized via a green and sustainable method can be employed for dye degradation and free radical-scavenging activities.

Abstract
Herein, we report the green synthesis of copper-zirconium bimetallic nanoparticles (Cu-Zr BNPs) from aqueous solutions using Azadirachta indica leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The CuO, ZrO2 NP, and Cu-Zr BNP samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the morphologies of the samples were analyzed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) with selected area electron diffraction analysis (SAED). The synthesized Cu-Zr BNPs have been employed as efficient catalysts for the selective N-methylation of aromatic and aliphatic amines with dimethyl carbonate. The effect of process conditions on the percentage conversion of benzylamine with dimethyl carbonate as a model reaction has been investigated. The Cu-Zr bimetallic nanoparticle catalytic system in a 1:2 molar ratio was able to convert amines into the corresponding N-methylated amines with a selectivity up to 91% at 180 °C in 4 h. The analysis of catalytic reusability confirmed that the reported heterogeneous catalyst can be used for five consecutive cycles without much loss in activity. Thus, the current protocol can be considered as a simpler, reproducible, and environmentally benign approach for N-methylation of amines.

Abstract
Degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and antimicrobial resistance are becoming prominent health problems needing utmost public health attention. Curative interventions such as the use of pharmaceutical drugs and alternative plant medicines are increasingly being explored. Plant polysaccharides have gained attention for their promising bioactivities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Bioactive plant polysaccharides are also being preferred for their relatively few side effects compared to conventional pharmaceuticals. The elucidation of the bioactive potential of plant polysaccharides in disease treatment entails an understanding of the factors that determine their biofunctional properties using functional and mechanistic assays. This review summarizes the literature on the composition, structural, functional, and mechanistic determinations of the antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of plant polysaccharides. The outcome of this review highlights the leading trends in the elucidation of the antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of plant polysaccharides and underscores the promising health benefits of plant polysaccharides.

Abstract
In spite of antibiotics, antibacterial agents or specifically known as antiseptics are actively explored for the prevention of infection-associated medical devices. Antibacterial agents are introduced to overcome the complication of bacterial resistance which devoted by antibiotics. It can be classified into inorganic and organic, that prominently have impacted bacterial retardation in their own killing mechanism patterns. Therefore, this review paper aimed to provide information on most common used inorganic and organic antibacterial agents which have potential to be utilized in biomedical applications, thus, classifying the trends of antibacterial mechanism on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In the beginning, infectious diseases and associated biomedical infections were stated to expose current infection scenarios on medical devices. The general view, application, susceptible bacteria and activation mechanism of inorganic (silver, copper, gold and zinc) and organic (chlorhexidine, triclosan, polyaniline and polyethylenimine) antibacterial agents that are widely proposed for biomedical area, were then gathered and reviewed. In the latter part of the study, the intact mechanisms of inorganic and organic antibacterial agents in retarding bacterial growth were classified and summarized based on its susceptibility on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Most of inorganic antibacterial agents are in the form of metal, which release its ions to retard prominently Gram-negative bacteria. While organic antibacterial agents are susceptible to Gram-positive bacteria through organelle modification and disturbance of bio-chemical pathway. However, the antibacterial effects of each antibacterial agent are also depending on its effective mechanism and the species of bacterial strain. These compilation reviews and classification mechanisms are beneficial to assist the selection of antibacterial agents to be incorporated on/within biomaterials, based on its susceptible bacteria. Besides, the combination of several antibacterial agents with different susceptibilities will cover a wide range of antibacterial spectrum.

Abstract
The copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have attracted much attention due to their application in diverse fields. The applications of CuNPs depend on their physical and chemical properties. This study presents the first report for the use of medicinal fruit extract of Piper retrofractum Vahl as an eco-friendly reagent in the synthesis of CuNPs using copper sulfate as a starting material. Piper retrofractum Vahl extract was employed as a bioreductor as well as a capping agent in the formation of CuNPs. The reaction process was assisted by sonication and stirring. The influences of extract concentration, pH, temperature, and reaction time on the size of CuNPs were studied in detail. The morphology and structure of synthesized CuNPs were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, TEM, and XRD. The UV-Vis measurement showed the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 234-255 nm, whereas FTIR characteristic peaks of metal-oxygen (Cu-O) were confirmed in the range 550-570 cm-1 and Cu-O-H bonds led to bending absorptions in the region 870-880 cm-1. The synthesized CuNPs possess the spherical shapes and high content of copper (70.3%) as confirmed by SEM-EDS. From the TEM micrograph, it can be seen that the particle size distribution of CuNPs has a high uniformity with a size of 2-10 nm under the optimum condition. The crystalline nature of CuNPs as confirmed by XRD showed the crystallinity phase of 26.4%. The synthesized CuNPs have relatively good stability and could inhibit Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results proved that Piper retrofractum Vahl fruit extract could be applied for a greener synthesis of CuNPs with high uniformity of particle sizes.

Abstract
Bionanotechnology, the use of biological resources to produce novel, valuable nanomaterials, has witnessed tremendous developments over the past two decades. This eco-friendly and sustainable approach enables the synthesis of numerous, diverse types of useful nanomaterials for many medical, commercial, and scientific applications. Countless reviews describing the biosynthesis of nanomaterials have been published. However, to the best of our knowledge, no review has been exclusively focused on the in vivo biosynthesis of inorganic nanomaterials. Therefore, the present review is dedicated to filling this gap by describing the many different facets of the in vivo biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using living eukaryotic cells and organisms-more specifically, live plants and living biomass of several species of microalgae, yeast, fungus, mammalian cells, and animals. It also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the synthesis methodologies and the NP characteristics, bio-applications, and proposed synthesis mechanisms. This comprehensive review also brings attention to enabling a better understanding between the living organisms themselves and the synthesis conditions that allow their exploitation as nanobiotechnological production platforms as these might serve as a robust resource to boost and expand the bio-production and use of desirable, functional inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Wound-healing is a very complex and evolutionary process that involves a great variety of dynamic steps. Although different pharmaceutical agents have been developed to hasten the wound-healing process, the existing agents are still far from optimal. The present work aimed to prepare and evaluate the wound-healing efficacy of phenytoin-loaded copper nanoparticles (PHT-loaded CuNPs). CuNPs were biosynthesized using licorice aqueous extract. The prepared CuNPs were loaded with PHT by adsorption, characterized, and evaluated for wound-healing efficiency. Results showed that both plain and PHT-loaded CuNPs were monodisperse and exhibited a cubic and hexagonal morphology. The mechanism by which PHT was adsorbed on the surface of CuNPs was best fit by the Langmuir model with a maximum loaded monolayer capacity of 181 mg/g. The kinetic study revealed that the adsorption reaction followed the pseudo-second order while the thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was physical in nature and endothermic, and occurred spontaneously. Moreover, the in vivo wound-healing activity of PHT-loaded CuNP impregnated hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) gel was carried out using an excisional wound model in rats. Data showed that PHT-loaded CuNPs accelerated epidermal regeneration and stimulated granulation and tissue formation in treated rats compared to controls. Additionally, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that lesions treated with PHT-loaded CuNPs were associated with a marked increase in the expression of dermal procollagen type I and a decrease in the expression of the inflammatory JAK3 compared to control samples. In conclusion, PHT-loaded CuNPs are a promising platform for effective and rapid wound-healing.

Abstract
This paper was designed to analyze the effect of ochratoxin A (OTA) contaminated feed on the growth outcomes, certain serum biochemical, histopathology, and OTA residue in the dorsal muscle, liver, and kidney in Nile tilapia. Also, to improve the drastic effect of OTA through dietary supplementation of hydrated sodium aluminum silicates nanoparticles or nano copper. For performing the present study, 270 fish were randomly allotted into 6 equal groups according to ochratoxin and nanoparticles of hydrated sodium aluminum silicates or copper oxide. The results indicated that supplementation of two levels of both nanoparticles (aluminum silicate or copper) as a mycotoxin adsorbent could prevent ochratoxicosis in Nile tilapia fish. In addition, they maintained optimal growth performance, feed efficiency without bad effect on serum profiles and vital organs function of fish in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathologically, the most interesting finding was the precipitation of calcium salts known as nephrocalcinosis, within the tubules, upon the degenerative tubules and tunica intima and media of the blood vessels in the control positive group. These pathological lesions were mitigated by nanoparticle supplementation. Thus increase the safety of fish products.

Abstract
In the last few years, copper and copper oxide nanoparticles were involved in many applications; this encouraged many researchers worldwide to develop more facile synthesis methods. Unprecedentedly, the current study reports a green method for synthesizing copper/copper oxide nanoparticles (Cu/Cu2O NPs) using the extract of seedless dates. Cu/Cu2O NPs were synthesized according to the chemical reduction method using seedless dates' extract as a reducing agent due to its high content of phenolics and flavonoids. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) revealed that roughly spherical particles were synthesized. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) showed that the synthesized Cu/Cu2O NPs have an average particle size of 78 nm and zeta potential of +41 mV, indicating a good stability of the particles. Successful synthesis of Cu/Cu2O NPs was affirmed through both X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), which revealed the presence of the characteristic peaks of copper at 2θ = 43.2745, 50.4083 and 74.1706°, and UV-Vis. Spectroscopy, which revealed the surface plasmonic resonance peak characterizes Cu/Cu2O NPs at 576 nm. In addition, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, which were responsible for reducing copper ions into copper nanoparticles through their carbonyl and hydroxyl linkages, adsorbed from the extract on Cu/Cu2O NPs. Conclusively, the current work provides, for the first time, a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing Cu/Cu2O NPs using useless seedless dates.
