Wondmnew E, Tizazu G. Effect of orange fruit peel extract concentration on the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. ANALYTICAL SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 5:e2400023.

Abstract
In this investigation, the impact of reducing agent concentration on the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was examined. During the synthesis, an assessment of ionic conductivity was carried out, revealing a significant increase in conductivity prior to the introduction of the reducing agent, followed by a sharp decrease upon its addition. Characterization of the ZnO NPs involved ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and, X-ray diffraction analysis. The outcomes suggest that the characteristics of the ZnO NPs are influenced by the concentration of the reducing agent during the synthesis process. Notably, the ZnO NPs synthesized with a higher concentration of reducing agent exhibited a narrower optical band gap and increased surface energy. Furthermore, employing a concentration of 0.5 v/v resulted in the rapid production of NPs with relatively uniform sizes. Conversely, concentrations below 0.5 v/v lead to slow formation, while concentrations exceeding 0.5 v/v yielded non-uniform NPs.

Abstract
Poor drug penetration, emerging drug resistance, and systemic toxicity are among the major obstacles challenging the current treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Hence, developing advanced strategies for effective and targeted delivery of antileishmanial agents is crucial. Several drug delivery carriers have been developed till current date for dermal/transdermal delivery, especially those which are fabricated using eco-friendly synthesis approaches, since they protect the environment from the harmful effects of chemical waste disposal. This work describes the preparation of selenium nanoparticles loaded with silymarin via one-pot green reduction technique, for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The selected silymarin loaded selenium nanoparticles (SSNs4-0.1) displayed good loading efficiency of 58.22 ± 0.56 %, zeta potential of -30.63 ± 0.40 mV, hydrodynamic diameter of 245.77 ± 11.12 nm, and polydispersity index of 0.19 ± 0.01. It exhibited good physical stability, as well as high ex vivo deposition % in the epidermis (46.98 ± 1.51 %) and dermis (35.23 ± 1.72 %), which was further proven using confocal laser microscopy. It also exhibited significant cytocompatibility and noticeable cellular internalization of 90.02 ± 3.81 % in human fibroblasts, as well as high trypanothione reductase inhibitory effect (97.10 ± 0.30 %). Results of this study confirmed the successful green synthesis of silymarin-loaded selenium nanoparticles; delineating them as one of the promising antileishmanial topical delivery systems.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic over recent years has shown a great need for the rapid, low-cost, and on-site detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, an aptamer-based colloidal gold nanoparticle lateral flow test strip was well developed to realize the visual detection of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins (SPs) and multiple variants. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a low detection limit of SARS-CoV-2 S proteins of 0.68 nM was acquired, and the actual detection recovery was 83.3% to 108.8% for real-world samples. This suggests a potential tool for the prompt detection of SARS-CoV-2 with good sensitivity and accuracy, and a new method for the development of alternative antibody test strips for the detection of other viral targets.

Abstract
The vulnerability of mixed halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) remains challenging because of the weak interaction between commonly employed ligands, oleic acid/oleylamine (OAm/OA) and halide anions, coupled with substantial surface phonon energy. Here, we introduce 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a capping ligand to modify CsPbBrI2 NCs to enhance the interactions between them. The optical properties have been significantly enhanced, and halide segregation has been suppressed, both of which can be attributed to the reduced phonon energy and exciton-phonon coupling strength. Moreover, these APTES-CsPbBrI2 NCs exhibit a broad color gamut and sustained color stability during long-term operation, indicating their promising potential in display technologies. This work may offer insights into surface engineering to enhance the properties and band stability of mixed halide perovskite NCs.

Alginic acid-functionalized silver nanoparticles: A rapid monitoring tool for detecting the technology-critical element tellurium. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133161. [PMID: 38103291 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The increasing global demand for tellurium, driven by its critical role in alloys, photovoltaic devices, and electronics, has raised concerns about its environmental pollution and neurotoxicity. In response, the potential of alginic acid (AA), a renewable, low-cost, and sustainable biopolymer, was explored for the biosynthesis of ultra-small silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their application in the detection of tellurium (Te(IV)). The effect of key synthesis parameters on desired physicochemical properties and yield of AgNPs was established to ensure high specificity and sensitivity towards Te(IV). The purified AgNPs with AA surface ligands were utilized to demonstrate a ratiometric absorbance sensor that exhibits excellent linearity and nanomolar-level affinity. This approach achieved a high correlation coefficient of ∼ 0.982, with a low detection limit of about 22 nM. Further investigations into the effect of pH, ionic strength, and organic molecules were conducted to elucidate detection performance and molecular understanding. The detection mechanism relies on the coordination between Te(IV) ions and the carboxylate groups of AA, which initiates aggregation-induced plasmon coupling in adjacent AgNPs. The capability of this analytical method to monitor Te(IV) in real-world water samples features its rapidity, user-friendliness, and suitability for point-of-care monitoring, making it a promising alternative to more complex techniques.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a cutting-edge field with diverse applications, particularly in the utilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to their stability and biocompatibility. AuNPs serve as pivotal components in medical applications, with a specific emphasis on their significant antibacterial efficacy. This study focuses on synthesizing AuNPs using the cell-free supernatant of Streptomyces monashensis MSK03, isolated from terrestrial soil in Thailand. The biosynthesis process involved utilizing the cell-free supernatant of S. monashensis MSK03 and hydrogen tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4) under controlled conditions of 37 °C and 200 rpm agitation. Characterization studies revealed spherical AuNPs with sizes ranging from 7.1 to 40.0 nm (average size: 23.2 ± 10.7 nm), as confirmed by TEM. UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band at 545 nm, while XRD analysis confirmed a crystalline structure with characteristics of cubic lattice surfaces. The capping molecules on the surface of AuNPs carry a negative charge, indicated by a Zeta potential of -26.35 mV, and FTIR analysis identified functional groups involved in reduction and stabilization. XANES spectra further confirmed the successful reduction of Au3+ to Au0. Moreover, the synthesized AuNPs demonstrated antibacterial activity against drug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Interestingly, the AuNPs showed non-toxicity to Vero cell lines. These significant antibacterial properties of the produced nanoparticles mean they hold great promise as new antimicrobial treatments for tackling the increasing issue of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The evolution and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens have become a major concern for human health and demand the development of alternative antimicrobial agents to combat this emergent threat. Conventional intracellular methods for producing metal nanoparticles (NPs) using whole-cell microorganisms have limitations, including binding of NPs to cellular components, potential product loss, and environmental contamination. In contrast, this study introduces a green, extracellular, and sustainable methodology for the bio-materialization of silver NPs (AgNPs) using renewable resource cell-free yeast extract. These extracts serve as a sustainable, biogenic route for both reducing the metal precursor and stabilizing the surface of AgNPs. This method offers several advantages such as cost-effectiveness, environment-friendliness, ease of synthesis, and scalability. HR-TEM imaging of the biosynthesized AgNPs revealed an isotropic growth route, resulting in an average size of about ~ 18 nm and shapes ranging from spherical to oval. Further characterization by FTIR and XPS results revealed various functional groups, including carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amide contribute to enhanced colloidal stability. AgNPs exhibited potent antibacterial activity against tested MDR strains, showing particularly high efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria. These findings suggest their potential role in developing alternative treatments to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Additionally, seed priming experiments demonstrated that pre-sowing treatment with AgNPs improves both the germination rate and survival of Sorghum jowar and Zea mays seedlings. KEY POINTS: •Yeast extract enables efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly AgNP synthesis. •Biosynthesized AgNPs showed strong antibacterial activity against MDR bacteria. •AgNPs boost seed germination and protect against seed-borne diseases.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (1 to 100 nm) have unique physical and chemical properties, which makes them suitable for application in a vast range of scientific and technological fields. In particular, metal nanoparticle (MNPs) research has been showing promising antimicrobial activities, paving the way for new applications. However, despite some research into their antimicrobial potential, the antimicrobial mechanisms are still not well determined. Nanoparticles' biosynthesis, using plant extracts or microorganisms, has shown promising results as green alternatives to chemical synthesis; however, the knowledge regarding the mechanisms behind it is neither abundant nor consensual. In this review, findings from studies on the antimicrobial and biosynthesis mechanisms of MNPs were compiled and evidence-based mechanisms proposed. The first revealed the importance of enzymatic disturbance by internalized metal ions, while the second illustrated the role of reducing and negatively charged molecules. Additionally, the main results from recent studies (2018-2022) on the biosynthesis of MNPs using microorganisms were summarized and analyzed, evidencing a prevalence of research on silver nanoparticles synthesized using bacteria aiming toward testing their antimicrobial potential. Finally, a synopsis of studies on MNPs applied to cultural heritage materials showed potential for their future use in preservation.

Abstract
The progress in the innovative nanocrystal synthesis process by using environmentally benign and low-priced nontoxic chemicals, solvents, and renewable sources remains a challenging task for researchers worldwide. The majority of the existing synthesis techniques engage in the potentially dangerous, for either human health or the environment. Current investigation has been centered on green synthesis processes to create novel nanomaterials, which are eco-friendly as well as safer for sustainable marketable feasibility. The current work provides the green synthesis method for gold nanoparticle (GNPs) synthesis using Commiphora myrrh (C.myrrh) extract. This simple method includes 6 ml of HAuCl4·3H2O treated with 4 ml C.myrrh extract having pH 4.5 after 80 min at 25 °C temperature. In this novel method, green synthesized GNPs characterized by UV-Vis, X_ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), zeta potential, fourier transform infrared (FT_IR), high_resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR_TEM), energy dispersive X_ray spectroscopy (EDXA), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). During the development successful antioxidant assay, the DPPH assay was applied. The cell toxicity of green synthesized GNPs was evaluated following an MTT assay against HCT-116 (colon cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer). Besides molecular docking in the δ-elemene for inhibitor to VEGFR-2 domain revealed more negative docking score (-3.976) which is an excellent binding affinity to the C.myrrh@GNP. The synthesized GNPs showed antidiabetic, antibiotic, and antibacterial properties and anti_inflammatory inhibition against inhibiting COX-1, and COX-2 enzymes. In addition, molecular docking by Lindestrene (-3.806) and Furanoeudesma-1,3-dien (-3.912) against COX1 and COX2 respectively showed strong binding affinity. The molecular docking study evidenced the anti-inflammatory and cell toxicity study.

Abstract
During recent decades, metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) have sparked more attention in various applications and industries due to their excellent sensing characteristics, thermal stability, abundance, and ease of synthesis. They are reliable and accurate for measuring and monitoring environmentally important toxic gases, such as NO2, NO, N2O, H2S, CO, NH3, CH4, SO2, and CO2. Compared to other sensing technologies, MOS sensors are lightweight, relatively inexpensive, robust, and have high material sensitivity with fast response times. Green nanotechnology is a developing branch of nanotechnology and aims to decrease the negative effects of the production and application of nanomaterials. For this purpose, organic solvents and chemical reagents are not used to prepare metal nanoparticles. On the contrary, the synthesis of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles is done by microorganisms, either from plant extracts or fungi, yeast, algae, and bacteria. Thus, this review aims at illustrating the possible green synthesis of different metal oxides such as ZnO, TiO2, CeO2, SnO2, In2O3, CuO, NiO, WO3, and Fe3O4, as well as metallic nanoparticles doping.

Abstract
In terms of reduced toxicity, the biologically inspired green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as a promising alternative to chemically fabricated nanoparticles. The use of a highly stable, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly aqueous extract of Cynara cardunculus as a reducing and capping agent in this study demonstrated the possibility of green manufacturing of silver nanoparticles (CC-AgNPs). UV-visible spectroscopy validated the development of CC-AgNPs, indicating the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) λmax band at 438 nm. The band gap of CC-AgNPs was found to be 2.26 eV. SEM and TEM analysis examined the surface morphology of CC-AgNPs, and micrographs revealed that the nanoparticles were spherical. The crystallinity, crystallite size, and phase purity of as-prepared nanoparticles were confirmed using XRD analysis, and it was confirmed that the CC-AgNPs were a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline-structured material. Furthermore, the role of active functional groups involved in the reduction and surface capping of CC-AgNPs was revealed using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic technique. CC-AgNPs were mostly spherical and monodispersed, with an average size of 26.89 nm, and were shown to be stable for a longer period without any noticeable change at room temperature. Further, we checked the antifungal mechanism of CC-AgNPs against C. auris MRL6057. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) were 50.0 µg/mL and 100.0 µg/mL respectively. The cell count and viability assay confirmed the fungicidal potential of CC-AgNPs. Further, the analysis showed that CC-AgNPs could induce apoptosis and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in C. auris MRL6057. Our results also suggest that the CC-AgNPs were responsible for the induction of mitochondrial toxicity. TUNEL assay results revealed that higher concentrations of CC-AgNPs could cause DNA fragmentation. Therefore, the present study suggested that CC-AgNPs hold the capacity for antifungal drug development against C. auris infections.

Abstract
This study involved the characterization of AgNPs synthesized from soil isolate Streptomyces sp. SSUT88A and their antimicrobial activities. The strain SSUT88A revealed 98.8% similarity of the 16s rRNA gene to Streptomyces chiangmaiensis TA4-1T. The AgNPs were synthesized by mixing either intracellular or extracellular cell-free supernatant of strain SSUT88A with AgNO3. The synthesized AgNPs from intracellular cell-free supernatant and extracellular cell-free supernatant were designated as IS-AgNPs and ES-AgNPs, respectively. The IS-AgNPs showed maximum absorbance of UV-vis spectra at 418 nm, while ES-AgNPs revealed maximum absorbance at 422 nm. The TEM observation of synthesized AgNPs revealed a spherical shape with an average diameter of 13.57 nm for IS-AgNPs and 30.47 nm for ES-AgNPs. The XRD and XANES spectrum profile of both synthesized AgNPs exhibited similar spectrum energy, which corresponded to AgNPs. The IS-AgNPs revealed antimicrobial activity against clinical isolate drug-resistant bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli 8465, Klebsiella pneumoniae 1617, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa N90PS), while ES-AgNPs had no antimicrobial activity. When compared to commercial AgNPs, IS-AgNPs exhibited antibacterial efficacy against all clinical isolate bacteria including A. baumannii, one of the most threatening multi-drug resistant strains, while commercial AgNPs did not. Thus, IS-AgNPs has potential to be further developed as an antimicrobial agent against drug-resistant bacteria.

Drug Des Devel Ther 2021; 15:5011-5023.

Abstract
Purpose Enhancement of the photodynamic/photothermal efficiency of two water-soluble dyes, rose bengal (RB) and eosin yellow (EY), via conjugation to a polymeric nano-system gold-polypyrrole nanoparticle (AuPpy NPs). Methodology A multi-step synthesis method and an in situ one-pot synthesis method were used. Loading percentage, particle size, zeta potential, morphology, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry and in vitro photothermal activity were measured. Then, both hybrid nanocomposites were examined for their cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity on HepG2 cell line as a model for cancer cells. Results Dyes loaded in the traditional multi-step method did not exceed 9% w/w, while in the one-pot synthesis method they reached ~67% w/w and ~75% w/w for EY-AuPpy NPs and RB-AuPpy NPs, respectively. UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry showed that both nano-systems exhibited intense absorption in the NIR region. The mean size of the nanoparticles was ~31.5 nm (RB-AuPpy NPs) and ~33.6 nm (EY-AuPpy NPs) with zeta potential values of −26.5 mV and −33 mV, respectively. TEM imaging revealed the morphology of both hybrids, showing ultra-nano spherical-shaped gold cores in the case of RB-AuPpy NPs, and different shapes of larger gold cores in the case of EY-AuPpy NPs, both embedded in the polymer film. Conjugation to AuPpy was found to significantly reduce the dark cytotoxicity of both RB and EY, preserving the photocytotoxicity of EY and enhancing the photocytotoxicity of RB. Conclusion Gold-polypyrrole nanoparticles represent an effective delivery system to improve the photodynamic and photothermal properties of RB and EY. The in situ one-pot synthesis method provided a means to greatly increase the loading capacity of AuPpy NPs. While both hybrid nanocomposites exhibited greatly diminished dark cytotoxicity, RB-AuPpy NPs showed significantly enhanced photocytotoxicity compared to the free dyes. This pattern enables the safe use of both dyes in high concentrations with sustained action, reducing dose frequency and side effects.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely explored and are well-known for their medical applications. Chemical and physical synthesis methods are a way to make AuNPs. In any case, the hunt for other more ecologically friendly and cost-effective large-scale technologies, such as environmentally friendly biological processes known as green synthesis, has been gaining interest by worldwide researchers. The international focus on green nanotechnology research has resulted in various nanomaterials being used in environmentally and physiologically acceptable applications. Several advantages over conventional physical and chemical synthesis (simple, one-step approach to synthesize, cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and biocompatibility) have drawn scientists’ attention to exploring the green synthesis of AuNPs by exploiting plants’ secondary metabolites. Biogenic approaches, mainly the plant-based synthesis of metal nanoparticles, have been chosen as the ideal strategy due to their environmental and in vivo safety, as well as their ease of synthesis. In this review, we reviewed the use of green synthesized AuNPs in the treatment of cancer by utilizing phytochemicals found in plant extracts. This article reviews plant-based methods for producing AuNPs, characterization methods of synthesized AuNPs, and discusses their physiochemical properties. This study also discusses recent breakthroughs and achievements in using green synthesized AuNPs in cancer treatment and different mechanisms of action, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase activation, leading to apoptosis, etc., for their anticancer and cytotoxic effects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying AuNPs therapeutic efficacy will aid in developing personalized medicines and treatments for cancer as a potential cancer therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
A versatile green synthesis technique of pulsed laser irradiation and the sonochemical process was used for the production of functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of lignin matrixes. In this study, the futuristic advantages of the lignin biopolymer were explored for the preparation of zero-valent Au NPs in the absence of any other reducing agents. The resulting lignin functionalized Au NPs (L-Auf NPs) were characterized via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The optimum lignin concentration can generate uniformly dispersed crystalline L-Auf NPs. The optimized L-Auf (1-5) NPs permit the selective colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions; thus, the L-Auf (1-5) NPs demonstrated a highly selective colorimetric sensing tendency toward Pb2+ ions within a short time interval among the various metal ions (Pb2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Cr6+, Co2+, Ag2+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Ba2+, and Hg2+). The prominent color change of L-Auf NPs from red wine to purple indicates the detection of Pb2+ ions. This robust characteristic nature of L-Auf (1-5) NPs can also detect very low concentrations of 1.8 μM in the linear range of 0.1-1 mM. Hence, the outcome of this study coincides with existing studies and indicates that L-Auf (1-5) NPs can also be used as effective sensors for the rapid and selective detection of Pb2+ ions via the colorimetric analysis using the real environmental samples.

Abstract
Simple Summary In the paper, we utilize silver nanoparticles as a catalyst in the degradation of a hazardous dye. The nanoparticles are formed from the simple silver salt by using only a plant extract from a commonly occurring herb. The plant extract contains compounds that can both reduce the silver salt and subsequently cap the surface of the as-prepared particles. There are many environmental advantages to using such an approach—nanoparticles are prepared by using simple green chemistry and the catalytic degradation of dye is carried out by sunlight energy. Such a method can be used as a very cheap, green method to neutralize hazardous substances in-house. Abstract Nowadays, nanostructures having tremendous chemical and physical properties are gaining attention in the biomedical industry. However, when they are prepared through classical methods (physical and chemical), they are often non-biocompatible and toxic. Considering the mentioned factors, in this research, organometallic silver nanostructures (OMAgNs) have been prepared by the green chemistry method using the acetone, methanol, and methanol-hexane-based extracts of the medicinally important plant Cichorium intybus. Secondary metabolites from C. intybus can be used as an alternative to synthetic reagents at an industrial scale to manufacture biosafe and economical nanostructures with enhanced physicochemical parameters. Prepared nanostructures were characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, UV, and zeta potential measurement. SEM analysis revealed different shapes of OMAgNs, prepared with various extracts. XRD analysis showed the crystallinity of the nanostructures. FTIR spectroscopy helped to identify groups of compounds present in the extracts and used for the OMAgNs synthesis. Out of the three tested OMAgNs, those prepared with methanol extract were selected due to the highest obtained yield and stability (highest negative zeta potential) and were tested as a cost-efficient and active agent to photodegrade organic pollutant, Brilliant Blue R, using energy from sunlight. A decrease in UV-VIS absorbance confirmed the rapid degradation of the dye.

Abstract
Natural products have widely been used in applications ranging from antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and various other medicinal applications. Use of these natural products was recognized way before the establishment of basic chemistry behind the disease and the chemistry of plant metabolites. After the establishment of plant chemistry various new horizons evolved, and application of the natural products breached the orthodox limitations. In one such interdisciplinary area, use of plant materials in the synthesis of nano particles (NPs) has exponentially emerged. This advancement has offered various environment friendly methods where hazardous chemicals are completely replaced by natural products in the sophisticated and hectic synthesis processes. This review is an attempt to understand the mechanism of metal nano particles synthesis using plant materials. It includes details on the role of plant's secondary metabolites in the synthesis of nano particles including the mechanism of action. In addition, use of these nano materials has widely been discussed along with the possible mechanism behind their antimicrobial and catalytic action.

Abstract
In recent years, many researchers have begun to shift their focus onto the synthesis of nanomaterials as this field possesses an immense potential that may provide incredible technological advances in the near future. The downside of conventional synthesis techniques, such as co-precipitation, sol-gel and hydrothermal methods, is that they necessitate toxic chemicals, produce harmful by-products and require a considerable amount of energy; therefore, more sustainable fabrication routes are sought-after. Biological molecules have been previously utilized as precursors for nanoparticle synthesis, thus eliminating the negative factors involved in traditional methods. In addition, transition-metal nanoparticles possess a broad scope of applications due to their multiple oxidation states and large surface areas, thereby allowing for a higher reactivity when compared to their bulk counterpart and rendering them an interesting research topic. However, this field is still relatively unknown and unpredictable as the biosynthesis of these nanostructures from fungi, bacteria and plants yield undesired diameters and morphologies, rendering them redundant compared to their chemically synthesized counterparts. Therefore, this review aims to obtain a better understanding on the plant-mediated synthesis process of the major transition-metal and transition-metal oxide nanoparticles, and how process parameters—concentration, temperature, contact time, pH level, and calcination temperature affect their unique properties such as particle size, morphologies, and crystallinity.

Abstract
Silver-based nanoparticles and biomaterials have extensive biomedical applications owing to their unique antimicrobial properties. Thus, green and facile synthesis of such materials is highly desirable. This study reports an antibacterial hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate network with the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which is greenly synthesized by reductive metabolites obtained from the leaves of green tea. The 'flower-shape' AgNPs were acquired, it formed a mono-disperse system with a distinct uniform interparticle separation. The average size of AgNPs varied from 129.5 to 243.6 nm, which could be regulated by using different volumes of the green tea extract. Zeta potentials of the AgNPs were from -39.3 mV to -20.3 mV, indicating the moderate stability of the particles in water. In the next stage, the antibacterial polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate hydrogels were fabricated by incorporating prepared AgNPs. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images showed that the porous structure was obtained, and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis confirmed that the AgNPs were uniformly dispersed in the polymer network. The hydrogels exhibited superior water absorption properties, which were characterized by a high swelling ratio (500-900%) and fast equilibrium. The hydrogels also exhibited good antimicrobial activity in assays with Gram-positive bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-negative bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. To sum up, a process for the green preparation of antibacterial hydrogels based on AgNPs derived from tea leaves as a conveniently available cheap local agricultural product was established.

Abstract
Recently, several studies have examined possible applications of nanoparticles for the development of electronic and optical sensors. The plasmon absorbance of gold nanoparticles has been used extensively to study biomolecular processes, including nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent enzymatic reactions. In this report, we describe the development of gold nanoparticles as a new colorimetric and sensitive detection method of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency by means of controlled reversible assembly of gold nanoparticles. 3-nm polyvinylpyrrolidone/N,N'-dimethylaminopyridine-stabilized gold nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and applied for an in vitro activity assay of 11 recombinant human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants. Differences in the activity of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants from different deficiency classes were readily detected using the synthesized gold nanoparticles. The developed method can be easily distinguished with color change by naked eye for the detection of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Moreover, we are the first to propose the segregation mechanism of polyvinylpyrrolidone/N,N'-dimethylaminopyridine-stabilized gold nanoparticles by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. The method enables visual detection of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, which could be further developed for diagnostic testing of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper introduces a simple one-step and ultra-fast method for synthesis of highly photothermally active polypyrrole-coated gold nanoparticles. The synthesis process is so simple that the reaction is very fast without the need for any additives or complicated steps. METHODOLOGY Polypyrrole-coated gold nanoparticles (AuPpy NPs) were synthesized by reacting chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) with pyrrole (monomer) in aqueous medium at room temperature. These nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible-NIR spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), AC conductivity, zeta sizer and were evaluated for dark cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity using human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line as a model for cancer cells. RESULTS The synthesized AuPpy NPs showed a peak characteristic for gold nanoparticles (530-600 nm, molar ratio dependent) and a wide absorption band along the visible-NIR region with intensity about triple or even quadruple that of polypyrrole synthesized by the conventional FeCl3 method at the same concentration and under the same conditions. TEM imaging showed that the synthesized AuPpy NPs were composed of spherical or semi-spherical gold core(s) of about 4-10 nm coated with distinct layer(s) of polypyrrole seen either loosely or in clusters. Mean sizes of the synthesized nanoparticles range between ~25 and 220 nm (molar ratio dependent). Zeta potentials of the AuPpy NPs preparations indicate their good colloidal stability. AC conductivity values of AuPpy NPs highly surpass that of Ppy prepared by the conventional FeCl3 method. AuPpy NPs were non-toxic even at high concentrations (up to 1000 µM pyrrole monomer equivalent) under dark conditions. Unlikely, light activated the photothermal activity of AuPpy NPs in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION This method simply and successfully synthesized AuPpy NPs nanoparticles that represent a safe alternative photothermally active multifunctional tool instead of highly toxic and non-biodegradable gold nanorods.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are extensively studied nanoparticles (NPs) and are known to have profound applications in medicine. There are various methods to synthesize AuNPs which are generally categorized into two main types: chemical and physical synthesis. Continuous efforts have been devoted to search for other more environmental-friendly and economical large-scale methods, such as environmentally friendly biological methods known as green synthesis. Green synthesis is especially important to minimize the harmful chemical and toxic by-products during the conventional synthesis of AuNPs. Green materials such as plants, fungi, microorganisms, enzymes and biopolymers are currently used to synthesize various NPs. Biosynthesized AuNPs are generally safer for use in biomedical applications since they come from natural materials themselves. Multiple surface functionalities of AuNPs allow them to be more robust and flexible when combined with different biological assemblies or modifications for enhanced applications. This review focuses on recent developments of green synthesized AuNPs and discusses their numerous biomedical applications. Sources of green materials with successful examples and other key parameters that determine the functionalities of AuNPs are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Polymeric supports from renewable resources such as cellulose nanomaterials are having a direct impact on the development of heterogenous sustainable catalysts. Recently, to increase the potentiality of these materials, research has been oriented towards novel functionalization possibilities. In this study, to increase the stability of cellulose nanofiber films as catalytic supports, by limiting the solubility in water, we report the synthesis of new hybrid catalysts (HC) based on silver, gold, and platinum nanoparticles, and the corresponding bimetallic nanoparticles, supported on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) cross-linked with borate ions. The catalysts were prepared from metal precursors reduced by the CNFs in an aqueous suspension. Metal nanoparticles supported on CNFs with a spherical shape and a mean size of 9 nm were confirmed by TEM, XRD, and SAXS. Functionalized films of HC-CNFs were obtained by adding a borate solution as a cross-linking agent. Solid-state 11B NMR of films with different cross-linking degrees evidenced the presence of four different boron species of which the bis-chelate is responsible for the cross-linking of the CNFs. Also, it may be concluded that the bis-chelate and the mono-chelates modify the microstructure of the film increasing the water uptake and enhancing the catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. We report the synthesis of supported noble metal nanoparticles on cellulose nanofibers cross-linked with borate as highly efficient sustainable catalysts.![]()

Abstract
For being applied in medicine as therapeutic agents, nanostructures need to be biocompatible and eco-friendly. Plant-derived phenolic acids have been utilised for green synthesis of metallic or metallic oxide nanoparticles (NPs). The phenolic acids play role as both reducing agents and stabilisers in the process of NPs synthesis. Many experiments have been dedicated to develop efficient green synthesis techniques for producing metal NPs. Using phenolic acids represents a reproducible, simple, profitable, and cost-effective strategy to synthesise metal NPs. As a phytochemical for metal NPs synthesis, phenolic acids are antioxidants that represent many health benefits. However, limited studies have been dedicated to the synthesis and characterisation of NPs produced by phenolic acids. Thus, this review focused on phenolic acids mediated nanomaterial synthesis and its biomedical applications. It should be noted the mechanism of metal ion bioreduction, phenolic acids surface adsorption, characterisation, and toxicity of metal NPs made with different phenolic acids have been discussed in this review.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and cancer are two of the most significant concerns that the current healthcare system should tackle nowadays. Green nanotechnology is presented as a feasible solution that is able to produce materials with significant anticancer and antibacterial activity, while overcoming the main limitations of traditional synthesis. In the present work, orange, lemon and lime extracts were used as both reducing and capping agents for the green synthesis of tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) using a microwave-assisted reaction. TeNPs showed a uniform size distribution, and rod- and cubic-shapes, and were extensively characterized in terms of morphology, structure and composition using TEM, SEM, XPS, XRD, FTIR and EDX analysis. TeNPs showed an important antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and -positive bacteria in a range concentrations from 5 to 50 μg/mL over a 24-hour time period. Besides, nanoparticles showed anticancer effect towards human melanoma cells over 48 hours at concentrations up to 50 μg/mL. Moreover, the Te nanostructures showed no significant cytotoxic effect towards human dermal fibroblast at concentrations up to 50 μg/mL. Therefore, we present an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective synthesis of TeNPs using only fruit juices and showing enhanced and desirable biomedical properties towards both infectious diseases and cancer.

Saudi Pharm J 2018; 27:283-292. [PMID: 30766441 PMCID: PMC6362174 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2018.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2018] [Accepted: 11/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method is needed for synthesizing metal nanoparticles, including gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this study, AuNPs were synthesized with Lignosus rhinocerotis sclerotial extract (LRE) and chitosan (CS) as reducing and stabilizing agents, respectively. Different LRE concentrations from cold and hot water extraction (CWE and HWE, respectively) were used to reduce chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) to form AuNPs. Positively charged chitosan stabilized AuNPs (CS-AuNPs) mediated by LRE exhibited a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 533 nm. The CS-AuNPs synthesized using CWE had a smaller particle size (49.5 ± 6.7-82.4 ± 28.0 nm) compared to that of the HWE samples (80.3 ± 23.4-125.3 ± 41.5 nm), depending on LRE concentration. FTIR results suggested protein and polysaccharides in LRE were the sources of reducing power, reducing gold ions to AuNPs. CS-AuNPs were mostly spherical with higher LRE concentrations, whereas some triangular, pentagonal, irregular, and rod shaped AuNPs were observed at lower LRE concentrations. CS-AuNPs mediated by LRE displayed effective antibacterial activity against gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus sp.). Thus, the biosynthesized AuNPs using LRE and chitosan provide opportunities for developing stable and eco-friendly nanoparticles with effective antibacterial properties.

[PMID: 28058640 PMCID: PMC5216008 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-016-1776-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2016] [Accepted: 12/07/2016] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
In this study, various concentrations of caffeic acid (CA) were used to synthesize gold nanoparticles (CA-AuNPs) in order to evaluate their catalytic activity in the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction. To facilitate catalytic activity, caffeic acid was removed by centrifugation after synthesizing CA-AuNPs. The catalytic activity of CA-AuNPs was compared with that of centrifuged CA-AuNPs (cf-CA-AuNPs). Notably, cf-CA-AuNPs exhibited up to 6.41-fold higher catalytic activity compared with CA-AuNPs. The catalytic activity was dependent on the caffeic acid concentration, and the lowest concentration (0.08 mM) produced CA-AuNPs with the highest catalytic activity. The catalytic activities of both CA-AuNPs and cf-CA-AuNPs decreased with increasing caffeic acid concentration. Furthermore, a conversion yield of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the reaction mixture was determined to be 99.8% using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The product, 4-aminophenol, was purified from the reaction mixture, and its structure was confirmed by 1H-NMR. It can be concluded that the removal of the reducing agent, caffeic acid in the present study, significantly enhanced the catalytic activity of CA-AuNPs in the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop a one-pot strategy to synthesis gold nanoparticle complexes using cinnamaldehyde, a potent antibiofilm agent which in its free form, exhibits high volatility and unstable nature. Hence, we developed cinnamaldehyde gold nanoparticles (CGNPs) in a single step to overcome the limitations of free cinnamaldehyde. Furthermore, reduction abilities of cinnamaldehyde under different experimental conditions, that is, varying precursor concentrations of cinnamaldehyde and gold, metal salts, pH, temperature, and light sources, were investigated. UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic light-scattering measurements revealed that heat influenced the nanoparticle formation in the presence of cinnamaldehyde, and as produced cinnamaldehyde immobilized on gold nanoparticles were spherical, monodispersed, and stable by surface charge. CGNPs containing 0.01% cinnamaldehyde by weight exhibited effective biofilm inhibition of up to >80% against Gram positive bacteria (methicillin-sensitive and -resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, MSSA and MRSA, respectively) and Gram negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and a fungus Candida albicans. In addition, CGNPs attenuated the virulence of C. albicans by inhibiting hyphae formation. Based on observations of their antibiofilm effects and confocal microscopy findings, CGNPs caused biofilm damage by direct contact. Thus, cinnamaldehyde appears to be a promising reduction material for the eco-friendly, one-pot synthesis of CGNPs with excellent antibiofilm activity.

Abstract
A significant area of research is theranostic applications of nanoparticles, which involves efforts to improve delivery and reduce side effects. Accordingly, the introduction of a safe, effective, and, most importantly, renewable strategy to target, deliver and image disease cells is important. This state-of-the-art review focuses on studies done from 2013 to 2016 regarding the development of hybrid gold nanoparticles as theranostic agents in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and infectious disease. Several syntheses (chemical and green) methods of gold nanoparticles and their applications in imaging, targeting, and delivery are reviewed; their photothermal efficiency is discussed as is the toxicity of gold nanoparticles. Owing to the unique characterizations of hybrid gold nanoparticles and their potential to be developed as multifunctional, we predict they will present an undeniable role in clinical studies and provide treatment platforms for various diseases. Thus, their clearance and interactions with extra- and intra-cellular molecules need to be considered in future projects.

Abstract
In the presence of nanocatalyst, L-cysteine reduce HAuCl4 rapidly to form gold nanoparticles (AuNP), and a quick nanocatalytic preparation procedure was established for Au/AuNP sol with highly active surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and good stability. The nanoreaction was also studied by absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy spectra. In the selected conditions, the analyte heparin sodium (HS) could react with victoria blue 4 R (VB4r) to form associated complexes which have very weak SERS effect to make the SERS signals decrease. The SERS signals at 1617 cm−1 reduced linearly with HS concentration increasing. Upon addition of FeCl3, it hydrolyzed to form stable Fe(OH)3 sol platform that carried SERS active Au/AuNPs to enhance the sensitivity. Accordingly, we established a SERS quantitative analysis method in the sol substrate of Fe(OH)3-Au/AuNPs, with a linear range of 0.5–75 ng/mL HS and a detection limit of 0.2 ng/mL. HS in real samples was determined, with a relative standard deviation of 2.65–7.63% and a recovery of 99.3–101%.

Size-controlled preparation of peroxidase-like graphene-gold nanoparticle hybrids for the visible detection of norovirus-like particles. Biosens Bioelectron 2016; 87:558-565.

Abstract
A hybrid structure of graphene-gold nanoparticles (Grp-Au NPs) was designed as a new nanoprobe for colorimetric immunoassays. This hybrid structure was prepared using chloroauric acid, sodium formate and Grp flakes at room temperature. Au NPs attached strongly onto the Grp surface, and their size was controlled by varying the sodium formate concentration. The Raman intensity of the Grp-Au NP hybrids was significantly enhanced at 1567cm-1 and 2730cm-1 compared with those of pristine Grp because of the electronic interaction between Au NPs and Grp. The Grp-Au NPs with a hybrid structure catalyzed the oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with H2O2, developing a blue color in aqueous solution. This catalytic activity was utilized to detect norovirus-like particles (NoV-LPs) in human serum. The enhanced colorimetric response was monitored using Ab-conjugated-Grp-Au NPs and found to depend on the NoV-LP concentration, exhibiting a linear response from 100pg/mL to 10μg/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) of this proposed method was 92.7pg/mL, 112 times lower than that of a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The sensitivity of this test was also 41 times greater than that of a commercial diagnostic kit. The selectivity of the Grp-Au NPs was tested with other viruses, and no color changes were observed. Therefore, the proposed system will facilitate the utilization of the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of Grp-Au NPs in medical diagnostics. We believe that the engineered catalytic Grp-Au NP hybrids could find potential applications in the future development of biocatalysts and bioassays.
