Abstract
For the first time, this study shows the nanoarchitectonic process to obtain an acetogenin-enriched nanosystem (AuNPs-Ac) using an aqueous extract fromAnnona cherimolaMill (ACM) composed of gold nanoparticles embedded in an organic matrix that acts as stabilizing agent and presents anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxical effect against HepG2 cell line, promoting apoptosis. The synthesis of AuNPs-Ac was confirmed by x-ray diffraction analysis, showing metallic gold as the only phase, and the scanning transmission microscope showed an organic cap covering the AuNPs-Ac. Fourier-transformed infrared suggests that the organic cap comprises a combination of different annonaceous acetogenins, alkaloids, and phenols by the presence of bands corresponding to aromatic rings and hydroxyl groups. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography has demonstrated the presence of annonacin, a potent acetogenin, in the extract of ACM. Anin vitroanti-inflammatory activity of the extract of ACM and the AuNPs-Ac was performed using the albumin denaturation method, showing a nonlinear response, which is better than sodium diclofenac salt in a wide range of concentrations that goes from 200 to 400μg ml-1with both samples. The viability assay was studied using trypan blue, treating IMR90 and HepG2 at different concentrations of AuNPs-Ac. The results defined a median lethal dose of 800μg ml-1against HepG2 through apoptosis according to the ratio of caspase-cleaved 9/alpha-tubulin evaluated. It was also demonstrated that the nanosystem presents a higher cytotoxic effect on the HepG2 cell line than in IMR90, suggesting a targeted mechanism. In addition, the nanosystem performs better than using only the extract of ACM in the anti-inflammatory or antiproliferative test, attributed to their higher surface area.

Sargassum natans I Algae: An Alternative for a Greener Approach for the Synthesis of ZnO Nanostructures with Biological and Environmental Applications. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:297. [PMID: 37233491 PMCID: PMC10224490 DOI: 10.3390/md21050297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, the influence of the Sargassum natans I alga extract on the morphological characteristics of synthesized ZnO nanostructures, with potential biological and environmental applications, was evaluated. For this purpose, different ZnO geometries were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, using Sargassum natans I alga extract as stabilizing agent. Four extract volumes (5, 10, 20, and 50 mL) were evaluated to obtain the different nanostructures. Moreover, a sample by chemical synthesis, without the addition of extract, was prepared. The characterization of the ZnO samples was carried out by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the Sargassum alga extract has a fundamental role in the stabilization process of the ZnO nanoparticles. In addition, it was shown that the increase in the Sargassum alga extract leads to preferential growth and arrangement, obtaining well-defined shaped particles. ZnO nanostructures demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory response by the in vitro egg albumin protein denaturation for biological purposes. Additionally, quantitative antibacterial analysis (AA) showed that the ZnO nanostructures synthesized with 10 and 20 mL of extract demonstrated high AA against Gram (+) S. aureus and moderate AA behavior against Gram (-) P. aeruginosa, depending on the ZnO arrangement induced by the Sargassum natans I alga extract and the nanoparticles' concentration (ca. 3200 µg/mL). Additionally, ZnO samples were evaluated as photocatalytic materials through the degradation of organic dyes. Complete degradation of both methyl violet and malachite green were achieved using the ZnO sample synthesized with 50 mL of extract. In all cases, the well-defined morphology of ZnO induced by the Sargassum natans I alga extract played a key role in the combined biological/environmental performance.

Abstract
Multifaceted utility of nanomaterials is indispensable to meet the environmental challenges across the globe. Nanomaterials substantially contribute in delineating the rapidly advancing field of nanotechnology. Recently, primary emphasis has been laid down on augmenting the biological methodologies for the synthesis of nanomaterials. In this aspect, green nanotechnology has revolutionized the entire process of nanosynthesis. Essentially biofabrication of nanoparticles have long-range applications, primarily in the field of medical applications such as drug delivery, cancer diagnostics and genetic engineering processes. Biocompatible and stable nanoparticles synthesized from biological source can be an effective approach against the chemically synthesized owing to their non-expensive and eco-friendly attributes. Biological systems including bacteria, yeasts, fungi and plants have already been exploited in the field of nanotechnology. Use of fungi seems to be a very effective and economical approach for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles possess anti-oxidation activity, are highly stable and biocompatible in nature. Fungi-mediated nanoparticle biosynthesis is more advantageous as compared to bacterial synthesis. Fungi secrete large amounts of enzymes, whereas the enzyme secretion of yeasts is weak. Here, we have reported the recent advancements and future implications in the field of gold nanoparticle production and applications.

Green synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles using Sargassum ilicifolium and application in photocatalytic degradation of cationic dyes. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 208:112642. [PMID: 34998807 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.112642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In the present work, a green synthetic method for the preparation of extremely stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Sargassum ilicifolium has been demonstrated. Thus produced nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta potential analyses. The average size of Ag and Au NPs was 27.9 and 9.36 nm respectively from TEM, which was further substantiated by XRD data. Zeta potential values of -42.2 mV and -28.3 mV for Ag and Au NPs respectively suggested that the nanoparticles were negatively charged and highly stable. AgNPs showed desirable bactericidal activity towards Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus species. The photocatalytic behaviour of AgNPs was studied to degrade malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) in aqueous medium. In MG, 82.9% degradation was achieved in 180 min of light exposure and the pseudo first order rate constant was 7.2 × 10-3 min-1. In MB, almost 100% of the dye was degraded in the same period and the pseudo first order rate constant calculated was 7.5 × 10-3 min-1. The bio-derived AgNPs are hence promising materials for treating effluent from dyeing industries and water purification.
