Abstract
In the present study, green synthetic pathway was adapted to synthesize CuO-ZnO bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) using Eryngium foetidum leaf extract and their anti-cancer activity against MCF7 breast cancer cell lines, anti-microbial activity and in vitro anti-oxidant activity were evaluated. Various bio-active compounds present in leaf extract were responsible for the reduction of CuO-ZnO NPs from respective Cu2+ and Zn2+ metal precursors. In the present study, the involvement of bio-active compounds present in E. foetidum extract before and after green synthesis of BNPs were evaluated for the first time. Rod-shaped and spherical structural morphology of synthesized BNPs were revealed by using FESEM, TEM, and XRD analysis with particle size ranged from 7 to 23 nm with an average size of 16.49 nm. The distribution of Cu and Zn were confirmed by elemental mapping. The green synthesized CuO-ZnO NPs showed significant cytotoxic effect with the inhibition rate 89.20 ± 0.03% at concentration of 500 μg/mL. Again, good antioxidant activity with IC50; 0.253 mg/mL and antimicrobial activity of BNPs were also evaluated with the increasing order of MIC; E. coli (7.81 μg/mL) < B. subtilis (62.5 μg/mL) < S. aureus (31.25 μg/mL).

Abstract
The current research aimed to study the green synthesis of silver oxide nanoparticles (AgONPs) using Rhynchosia capitata (RC) aqueous extract as a potent reducing and stabilizing agent. The obtained RC-AgONPs were characterized using UV, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, SEM, and EDX to investigate the morphology, size, and elemental composition. The size of the RC-AgONPs was found to be ~ 21.66 nm and an almost uniform distribution was executed by XRD analysis. In vitro studies were performed to reveal biological potential. The AgONPs exhibited efficient DPPH free radical scavenging potential (71.3%), reducing power (63.8 ± 1.77%), and total antioxidant capacity (88.5 ± 4.8%) to estimate their antioxidative power. Antibacterial and antifungal potentials were evaluated using the disc diffusion method against various bacterial and fungal strains, and the zones of inhibition (ZOI) were determined. A brine shrimp cytotoxicity assay was conducted to measure the cytotoxicity potential (LC50: 2.26 μg/mL). In addition, biocompatibility tests were performed to evaluate the biocompatible nature of RC-AgONPs using red blood cells, HEK, and VERO cell lines (< 200 μg/mL). An alpha-amylase inhibition assay was carried out with 67.6% inhibition. Moreover, In vitro, anticancer activity was performed against Hep-2 liver cancer cell lines, and an LC50 value of 45.94 μg/mL was achieved. Overall, the present study has demonstrated that the utilization of R. capitata extract for the biosynthesis of AgONPs offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and forthright alternative to traditional approaches for silver nanoparticle synthesis. The RC-AgONPs obtained exhibited significant bioactive properties, positioning them as promising candidates for diverse applications in the spheres of medicine and beyond.

Abstract
ABSTRACTZinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using Zinc Nitrate as precursor salt, and plant leaves extracts from Azadirachta indica (Common name: Neem), Cymbopogan citratus (Common name: Lemongrass), and Mangifera indica (Common name: Mango), as both chelating and reducing agents for the synthesis of ZnO NPs by a simple cost-effective and eco-friendly green method. The biosynthesized ZnO NPs were well characterized by various methods. XRD pattern revealed a hexagonal wurtzite phase of ZnO, with no other impurity peaks present revealing XRD crystalline sizes of 13.94-16.37 nm calculated using Scherrer equation. The XPS confirmed the presence of Zn, O, and C, and the carbon peaks are almost in agreement with peaks observed by FT-IR. TEM showed the different ZnO with spherical shapes and some aggregations. BET surface area gave 24.98, 21.62, and 22.72 m2/g, respectively for ZnO-AI, ZnO-Cyc, and ZnO-MI, while BJH pore volume and average pore diameter were estimated to be 0.217 cc/g, 0.209 cc/g, 0.211 cc/g, and 2.132 nm, 2.025 nm, and 2.100 nm respectively for ZnO-AI, ZnO-Cyc, and ZnO-MI.Furthermore, the bio-synthesized ZnO NPs were evaluated for their catalytic and photocatalytic performance in the degradation of aqueous tetracycline (TC). The biosynthesized ZnO NPs exhibit good photodegradation efficiency for TC in varying degrees with ZnO-AI > ZnO-MI > ZnO-Cyc. Optimum operational parameters for TC degradation using the ZnO-AI were established, and maximum degradation efficiency of 84.8% was obtained. In addition, the catalyst can also be regenerated and reused up to three cycles, with the third cycle still achieving greater than 80% TC degradation.

Abstract
Oxidants are very active compounds that can cause damage to biological systems under specific environmental conditions. One effective way to counterbalance these adverse effects is the use of anti-oxidants. At low concentrations, an antioxidant is defined as a compound that can delay, control, or prevent an oxidative process. Antioxidants exist in plants, soil, and minerals; therefore, nature is a rich source of natural antioxidants, such as tocopherols and polyphenols. In nature, antioxidants perform in tandem with their bio-environment, which may tune their activity and protect them from degradation. In vitro use of antioxidants, i.e., out of their biomatrix, may encounter several drawbacks, such as auto-oxidation and polymerization. Artificial nanoantioxidants can be developed via surface modification of a nanoparticle with an antioxidant that can be either natural or synthetic, directly mimicking a natural antioxidant system. In this direction, state-of-the-art nanotechnology has been extensively incorporated to overcome inherent drawbacks encountered in vitro use of antioxidants, i.e., out of their biomatrix, and facilitate the production and use of antioxidants on a larger scale. Biomimetic nanoengineering has been adopted to optimize bio-medical antioxidant systems to improve stability, control release, enhance targeted administration, and overcome toxicity and biocompatibility issues. Focusing on biotechnological sciences, this review highlights the importance of nanoengineering in developing effective antioxidant structures and comparing the effectiveness of different nanoengineering methods. Additionally, this study gathers and clarifies the different antioxidant mechanisms reported in the literature and provides a clear picture of the existing evaluation methods, which can provide vital insights into bio-medical applications.

Abstract
Currently, bionanotechnologies are attracting great interest due to their promising results and potential benefits on many aspects of life. In this study, the objectives was to biosynthesis CuO-NPs using cell-free extract(s) of copper-resistant fungi and use them in bioremediation of textile industry wastewater. Out of 18 copper-resistant fungal isolates, the novel fungus strain Fusarium oxysporum OSF18 was selected for this purpose. This strain showed a high efficiency in extracellular reducing copper ions to their nano-form. The myco-synthesized CuO-NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, HRTEM, FTIR, and XRD and were found to be spherical nanocrystals with the size range of 21-47 nm. The bio-synthesized CuO-NPs showed promising antimicrobial activity as well as high efficiency in removing heavy metals and textile dye from industrial wastewater. The myco-synthesized CuO-NPs immobilized in alginate beads exhibited superior microbial disinfection (99.995%), heavy metals removal (93, 55, and 30 % for Pb, Cr, and Ni, respectively), and dye decolorization (90%). Such results represent a promising step to produce an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and easy-to handle tool for the bioremediation of textile industry wastewater.

Abstract
Insects act as vectors to carry a wide range of bacteria and viruses that can cause multiple vector-borne diseases in humans. Diseases such as dengue fever, epidemic encephalitis B, and epidemic typhus, which pose serious risks to humans, can be transmitted by insects. Due to the absence of effective vaccines for most arbovirus, insect control was the main strategy for vector-borne diseases control. However, the rise of drug resistance in the vectors brings a great challenge to the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases. Therefore, finding an eco-friendly method for vector control is essential to combat vector-borne diseases. Nanomaterials with the ability to resist insects and deliver drugs offer new opportunities to increase agent efficacy compared with traditional agents, and the application of nanoagents has expanded the field of vector-borne disease control. Up to now, the reviews of nanomaterials mainly focus on biomedicines, and the control of insect-borne diseases has always been a neglected field. In this study, we analyzed 425 works of the literature about different nanoparticles applied on vectors in PubMed around keywords, such as"nanoparticles against insect," "NPs against insect," and "metal nanoparticles against insect." Through these articles, we focus on the application and development of nanoparticles (NPs) for vector control, discussing the lethal mechanism of NPs to vectors, which can explore the prospect of applying nanotechnology in the prevention and control of vectors.

Abstract
Bio-nanoparticles have created a new era of rapid, harmless and nontoxic drugs for various biomedical applications. The nanoparticles (NPs) of rare earth metal oxides attract researcher's attention due to their excellent chemical and physical properties that exhibit potential activity against disease causing pathogens. Couroupita guianensis (C. guianensis) abul is a medicinal plant whose leaves are effectively used for the synthesis of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) NPs. The 1-butyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM BF4) ionic liquid is used as a stabilizing agent to get better the morphology and biological properties of Nd2O3 NPs. 1-Butene, 4,4-diethoxy-2-methyl is the main compound in C. guianensis abul leaves extract was confirmed by GCMS analysis. The structure of synthesized Nd2O3 (without ionic liquid) and Nd2O3-IL (with ionic liquid) NPs is identified by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The vibrations of the different functional groups were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. In UV-Vis spectra, the optical absorption was identified to be 210 and 221nm of Nd2O3 and Nd2O3-IL samples and the PL spectrum provides blue and green emission peaks at 386 and 554 nm. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and DLS spectra illustrate the electronic configuration and particle size of the synthesized Nd2O3-IL NPs. The morphology, surface nature and lattice spacing were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The purity and weight percentage of the compound presented can be identified by the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The biomedical properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities were investigated. Finally, the overall biocompatible studies reveal that the ionic liquid assisted Nd2O3 NPs can be considered as a potential drug for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this report, ZnO nanoparticles were biosynthesized using Paspalum scrobiculatum grains extract for the first time. GC-MS analysis explicated that diethyl phthalate was the major phytocompound with 94.09% in aqueous extract. ZnO nanoparticles formation was confirmed by various physicochemical analyses. HR-TEM images showed the hexagonal, rectangular shaped nanoparticles in 15-30 nm size. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic analyses showed the effective bioactivity of ZnO nanoparticles in 80 μg/ml concentration with 95.36%, 94.08%, and 91.96%, respectively. The morphological and tissue changes witnessed in larvicidal and insecticidal activities against Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Tribolium castaneum revealed the efficient nature of ZnO nanoparticles in 100 ppm at 48 h and 100 μg/kg at 72 h, respectively. The morphological changes in antibacterial activity demonstrated the bactericidal nature of ZnO nanoparticles against Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus in 150 μg/ml concentration. The morphological observations in anticancer activity against HepG2 liver cancer cells showed the potent drug features of ZnO nanoparticles in 100 μg/ml concentration with 97.18% of cytotoxicity. The ZnO nanoparticles showed no toxicity against HDF normal cells in lower concentrations and it explicated the biocompatible features of nanoparticles. The Vigna radiata plant growth was efficiently promoted by low (60 ppm) concentration of nanoparticles. The ZnO nanoparticles divulged effective degradation of IPA, EDTA, BQ, and DPBF in 75%, 45%, 55%, and 80% through ROS formation, respectively. Thus, the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles are biocompatible and inexpensive material compared to the traditional one and can be utilized as an efficient material in biological fields.

Abstract
Free radicals are generated as byproducts of normal metabolic processes as well as due to exposure to several environmental pollutants. They are highly reactive species, causing cellular damage and are associated with a plethora of oxidative stress-related diseases and disorders. Antioxidants can control autoxidation by interfering with free radical propagation or inhibiting free radical formation, reducing oxidative stress, improving immune function, and increasing health longevity. Antioxidant functionalized metal nanoparticles, transition metal oxides, and nanocomposites have been identified as potent nanoantioxidants. They can be formulated in monometallic, bimetallic, and multi-metallic combinations via chemical and green synthesis techniques. The intrinsic antioxidant properties of nanomaterials are dependent on their tunable configuration, physico-chemical properties, crystallinity, surface charge, particle size, surface-to-volume ratio, and surface coating. Nanoantioxidants have several advantages over conventional antioxidants, involving increased bioavailability, controlled release, and targeted delivery to the site of action. This review emphasizes the most pioneering types of nanoantioxidants such as nanoceria, silica nanoparticles, polydopamine nanoparticles, and nanocomposite-, polysaccharide-, and protein-based nanoantioxidants. This review overviews the antioxidant potential of biologically synthesized nanomaterials, which have emerged as significant alternatives due to their biocompatibility and high stability. The promising nanoencapsulation nanosystems such as solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, and liposome nanoparticles are highlighted. The advantages, limitations, and future insights of nanoantioxidant applications are discussed.

Abstract
The synthesis of nanoparticles by green approaches is gaining unique importance due to its low cost, biocompatibility, high productivity, and purity, and being environmentally friendly. Herein, biomass filtrate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mangrove rhizosphere sediment was used for the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The bacterial isolate was identified based on morphological, physiological, and 16S rRNA. The bio-fabricated ZnO-NPs were characterized using color change, UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, and XRD analyses. In the current study, spherical and crystalline nature ZnO-NPs were successfully formed at a maximum SPR (surface plasmon resonance) of 380 nm. The bioactivities of fabricated ZnO-NPs including antibacterial, anti-candida, and larvicidal efficacy were investigated. Data analysis showed that these bioactivities were concentration-dependent. The green-synthesized ZnO-NPs exhibited high efficacy against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and unicellular fungi (Candida albicans) with inhibition zones of (12.33 ± 0.9 and 29.3 ± 0.3 mm), (19.3 ± 0.3 and 11.7 ± 0.3 mm), and (22.3 ± 0.3 mm), respectively, at 200 ppm. The MIC value was detected as 50 ppm for E. coli, B. subtilis, and C. albicans, and 200 ppm for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa with zones of inhibition ranging between 11.7 ± 0.3-14.6 ± 0.6 mm. Moreover, the biosynthesized ZnO-NPs showed high mortality for Culex pipiens with percentages of 100 ± 0.0% at 200 ppm after 24 h as compared with zinc acetate (44.3 ± 3.3%) at the same concentration and the same time.

Abstract
Discharge of untreated textile wastewaters loaded with dyes is not only contaminating the soil and water resources but also posing a threat to the health and socioeconomic life of the people. Hence, there is a need to devise the strategies for effective treatment of such wastewaters. The present study reports the catalytic potential of biogenic ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized by using a bacterial strain Pseudochrobactrum sp. C5 for degradation of dyes and wastewater treatment. The catalytic potential of the biogenic ZnO NPs for degradation of dyes and wastewater treatment was also compared with that of the chemically synthesized ones. The characterization of the biogenic ZnO NPs through FT-IR, XRD, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) indicated that these are granular agglomerated particles having a size range of 90-110 nm and zeta potential of -27.41 mV. These catalytic NPs had resulted into almost complete (> 90%) decolorization of various dyes including the methanol blue and reactive black 5. These NPs also resulted into a significant reduction in COD, TDS, EC, pH, and color of two real wastewaters spiked with reactive black 5 and reactive red 120. The findings of this study suggest that the biosynthesized ZnO NPs might serve as a potential green solution for treatment of dye-loaded textile wastewaters.

An Astragalus membranaceus based eco-friendly biomimetic synthesis approach of ZnO nanoflowers with an excellent antibacterial, antioxidant and electrochemical sensing effect. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 118:111432. [PMID: 33255026 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Revised: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Nowadays featuring outstanding eco-friendliness, the phytochemical fabrication method of nanostructures is very popular. Here, we propose to utilize the Astragalus membranaceus extract as the reducing and capping agent to stabilize the metal and to avoid the aggregations of nanoparticles during ZnO nanoflowers synthesis procedure. As a result, the whole fabrication procedure was highly efficient and cost-effective without requiring a special environment of high pressure or elevated temperature and without chemical hazards used or produced. After the fabrication, detailed characterization about material morphology and crystal structure was carried out, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). Moreover, the ZnO nanoflowers demonstrated distinctive antibacterial, antioxidant and electrochemical sensing effect. Specifically, ZnO nanoflowers had an antibacterial inhibition zone of 19(±0.7) and 15(±0.8) mm in diameter against the concentration of 50 μL (1 mg/mL) Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which is greatly improved compared to the reference drug (Kanamycin). Besides, antioxidant activity was also tested using H2O2 free radical scavenging assay and 60% 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition of 0.5 mg/mL was reported. Finally, controlled by the diffusion process during the charge transfer procedure, 4-nitorphenol was dramatically reduced and a limit of detection of 0.08 μM by ZnO nanoflowers modified electrode was observed during the cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiment. Because the phenolic compounds originating from Astragalus membranaceus helped to facilitate the electron transfer, the limit of detection was lower compared to other materials, such as copper oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O-NPs), silicon dioxide/silver nanoparticles (SiO2/Ag-NPs), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), activated carbon (AC) and cobalt oxide nanocubes (Co3O4). Therefore, featuring easy operation, low-cost and eco-friendliness, our proposed ZnO nanoflowers fabrication method will have a great potential in biomedical and electro-catalytic fields.
