Biogenic Salvia species synthesized silver nanoparticles with catalytic, sensing, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25814. [PMID: 38375246 PMCID: PMC10875438 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Salvia (Lamiaceae family) is used as a brain tonic to improve cognitive function. The species including S. plebeia and S. moorcroftiana are locally used to cure hepatitis, cough, tumours, hemorrhoids, diarrhoea, common cold, flu, and asthma. To the best of authors' knowledge, no previous study has been conducted on synthesis of S. plebeia and S. moorcroftiana silver nanoparticles (SPAgNPs and SMAgNPs). The study was aimed to synthesize AgNPs from the subject species aqueous and ethanol extracts, and assess catalytic potential in degradation of standard and extracted (from yums, candies, and snacks) dyes, nitrophenols, and antibiotics. The study also aimed at AgNPs as probe in sensing metalloids and heavy metal ions including Pb2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, and Zn2+. From the results, it was found that Salvia aqueous extract afforded stable AgNPs in 1:9 and 1:15 (quantity of aqueous extract and silver nitrate solution concentration) whereas ethanol extract yielded AgNPs in 1:10 (quantity of ethanol extract and silver nitrate solution concentration) reacted in sunlight. The size of SPAgNPs and SMAgNPs determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were 21.7 nm and 19.9 nm, with spherical, cylindrical, and deep hollow morphology. The synthesized AgNPs demonstrated significant potential as catalyst in dyes; Congo red (85 %), methylene blue (75 %), Rhodamine B (<50 %), nitrophenols; ortho-nitrophenol (95-98 %) and para-nitrophenol (95-98 %), dyes extracted from food samples including yums, candies, and snacks. The antibiotics (amoxicillin, doxycycline, levofloxacin) degraded up to 80 %-95 % degradation. Furthermore, the synthesized AgNPs as probe in sensing of Pb2+, Cu2+, and Fe3+ in Kabul river water, due to agglomeration, caused a significant decrease and bathochromic shift of SPR band (430 nm) when analyzed after 30 min. The Pb2+ ions was comparatively more agglomerated and chelated. Thus, the practical applicability of AgNPs in Pb2+ sensing was significant. Based on the results of this research study, the synthesized AgNPs could provide promising efficiency in wastewater treatment containing organic dyes, antibiotics, and heavy metals.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14040766. [PMID: 35215679 PMCID: PMC8879489 DOI: 10.3390/polym14040766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The design and synthesis of eco-friendly solid-supported metal nanoparticles with remarkable stability and catalytic performance have gained much attention for both industrial and environmental applications. This study provides a novel, low-cost, simple, and eco-friendly approach for decorating cross-linked chitosan with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), greenly prepared with Solenostemma argel (S. argel) leaf extract under mild conditions. Glutaraldehyde-modified chitosan beads were used to coordinate with Au(III) ions and act as stabilizing agents, and S. argel leaf extract was used as a cost-effective phyto-reducing agent to reduce gold ions to elemental Au nanoparticles. The successful cross-linking of chitosan with glutaraldehyde, the coordination of Au(III) ions into the chitosan matrix, and the phytochemical reduction of Au(III) to Au nanoparticles were investigated via FT-IR spectroscopy. The obtained Au nanoparticles have a uniform spherical shape and size <10 nm, as confirmed by both X-ray diffraction (XRD) (~8.8 nm) and TEM (6.0 ± 3 nm). The uniformity of the AuNPs’ size was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transition Electron Microscopy (TEM). The powder X-ray diffraction technique showed crystalline AuNPs with a face-centered cubic structure. The elemental analysis and the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis both confirmed the successful integration of Au nanoparticles with the chitosan network. The catalytic activity of this highly stable nanocomposite was systematically investigated via the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Results showed a remarkable conversion (97%) and excellent selectivity (99%) in the formation of benzaldehyde over other side products.

Biogenic proficient synthesis of (Au-NPs) via aqueous extract of Red Dragon Pulp and seed oil: Characterization, antioxidant, cytotoxic properties, anti-diabetic anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer and their anti-proliferative potential against cancer cell lines. Saudi J Biol Sci 2022; 29:2836-2855. [PMID: 35531221 PMCID: PMC9073066 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2022.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Novel Green synthesis of Au-NPs using Dragon fruit pulp and seed oil extract for the first time. Use of green and safer protocol for synthesis of Au-NPs further demonstrate that we can apply green chemistry protocols to reduce environmental pollution and disposal of waste toxicants. FTIR analysis confirmed the capping of therapeutically potent phytochemicals which are of great use in applied field especially medical. Significant Anti-diabetic, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-Alzheimer and Cytotoxic potential of biosynthesized Au-NPs create a new idea and shifting experts to treat cancerous cell lines.
Gold nanoparticles with tiny sizes and biostability are particularly essential and are employed in a variety of biomedical applications. Using a reducing agent and a stabilising agent to make gold nanoparticles has been reported in a number of studies. Gold nanoparticles with a particle size of 25.31 nm were synthesized in this study utilising Hylocereus polyrhizus (Red Pitaya) extract, which functions as a reducing and stabilising agent. The extract of Red Pitaya is said to be a powerful antioxidant and anti-cancer agent. Because of its substantial blood biocompatibility and physiological stability, green production of gold nanoparticles with H. polyrhizus fruit extract is an alternative to chemical synthesis and useful for biological and medical applications. The formation and size distribution of gold nanoparticles were confirmed by HPLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Zeta potential, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The well-analysed NPs were used in various biological assays, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer, and antioxidant (DPPH), and cytotoxic investigations. The NPs also showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines, with IC50 of 100 µg/mL for HCT-116 cells, 155 µg/mL for HepG2, and for MCF-7 cells the value was 165 µg/mL respectively. Finally, the outstanding biocompatibility of Au-NPs has led to the conclusion that they are a promising choice for various biological applications.
