Synthesis, Electrochemical Studies, and Antimicrobial Properties of Fe 3O 4 Nanoparticles from Callistemon viminalis Plant Extracts. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13214894. [PMID: 33142751 PMCID: PMC7663161 DOI: 10.3390/ma13214894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Less toxic, environmentally safe green-mediated iron (III) oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NP) synthesized using Callistemon viminalis (C. viminalis) leaf (Fe3O4-NPL) and flower (Fe3O4-NPF) extracts is reported in this work for the first time. Total flavonoids and phenols present in the plant extracts were determined. Characterization of the nanoparticles was carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Malvern zeta sizer. Other properties of the nanoparticles were investigated using the thermogravimetric analyser and cyclic voltammetry. The average particle sizes obtained for Fe3O4-NPL and Fe3O4-NPF were 17.91 nm and 27.93 nm, respectively. Fe3O4-NPL exhibited an excellent electrochemical activity when compared with Fe3O4-NPF based on a stability study using cyclic voltammetry and regression value. Additionally, Fe3O4-NPF displayed excellent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Vibrio cholerae with zones of inhibition of 13, 15, and 25 mm, respectively. Simple, cheap, and less toxic green-mediated iron (III) oxide nanoparticles synthesized from C. viminalis leaf (Fe3O4-NPL) and flower (Fe3O4-NPF) extracts hold the potential of being used to control the activity of pathogenic bacteria of health importance and as an electrochemical sensor for both biological and environmental analytes.

Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles for Complex Targeted Delivery and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9040494.

Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and their surface modification with therapeutic substances are of great interest, especially drug delivery for cancer therapy, including boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this paper, we present the results of boron-rich compound (carborane borate) attachment to previously aminated by (3-aminopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (APTMS) iron oxide NPs. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with Attenuated total reflectance accessory (ATR-FTIR) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the change of the element content of NPs after modification and formation of new bonds between Fe3O4 NPs and the attached molecules. Transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed Fe3O4 NPs’ average size of 18.9 nm. Phase parameters were studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the magnetic behavior of Fe3O4 NPs was elucidated by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The colloidal and chemical stability of NPs was studied using simulated body fluid (phosphate buffer—PBS). Modified NPs have shown excellent stability in PBS (pH = 7.4), characterized by XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Biocompatibility was evaluated in-vitro using cultured mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The results show us an increasing of IC50 from 0.110 mg/mL for Fe3O4 NPs to 0.405 mg/mL for Fe3O4-Carborane NPs. The obtained data confirm the biocompatibility and stability of synthesized NPs and the potential to use them in BNCT.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles that preferred for biomedical applications are required to be biocompatible, nanosized and superparamagnetic. In this research, ultra-small superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and novel superparamagnetic Fe3O4@ZnS core/shell nanocomposites were fabricated using biocompatible ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a capping agent by a facile refluxing assisted co-precipitation method at optimum condition. The Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@ZnS nanoparticles were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The VSM results indicated that all of the samples have superparamagnetic behavior. The particle size of the Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@ZnS nanoparticles were obtained at about 10 and 22 nm, respectively.
