The bio‐green methods of synthesis nanoparticles (NPs) have advantages over chemo‐physical procedures due to cost‐effective and ecofriendly products. The goal of current investigation is biosynthesis of zinc oxide NPs (ZnO‐NPs) and evaluation of their biological assessment. Water extract of Brassica napus pollen [rapeseed (RP)] prepared and used for the synthesis of ZnO‐NPs and synthesised ZnO‐NP characterised using ultraviolet–visible, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. Antioxidant properties of ZnO‐NPs, cytotoxic and pro‐apoptotic potentials of NPs were also evaluated. The results showed that ZnO‐NPs have a hexagonal shape with 26 nm size. ZnO‐NPs synthesised in RP (RP/ZnO‐NPs) exhibited the good antioxidant potential compared with the butylated hydroxyanisole as a positive control. These NPs showed the cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cells (M.D. Anderson‐Metastasis Breast cancer (MDA‐MB)) with IC50 about 1, 6 and 6 μg/ml after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure, respectively. RP/ZnO‐NPs were found effective in increasing the expression of catalase enzyme, the enzyme involved in antioxidants properties of the cells. Bio‐green synthesised RP/ZnO‐NPs showed antioxidant and cytotoxic properties. The results of the present study support the advantages of using the bio‐green procedure for the synthesis of NPs as an antioxidant and as anti‐cancer agents.Inspec keywords: II‐VI semiconductors, wide band gap semiconductors, ultraviolet spectra, toxicology, X‐ray diffraction, biochemistry, zinc compounds, nanomedicine, enzymes, biomedical materials, particle size, antibacterial activity, transmission electron microscopy, molecular biophysics, visible spectra, nanofabrication, cellular biophysics, nanoparticles, cancer, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, semiconductor growthOther keywords: bio‐green synthesis ZnO‐NPs, zinc oxide NPs, synthesised ZnO‐NP, field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, antioxidant properties, bio‐green synthesised RP‐ZnO‐NPs, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, breast cancer cells MDA‐MB, pro‐apoptotic potentials, cytotoxic effects, catalase enzyme, bio‐green procedure, time 48.0 hour, time 72.0 hour, size 26.0 nm, time 24.0 hour, ZnO 相似文献

The aim of this study was to green synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Centella asiatica leaf extract and investigate the cytotoxic and apoptosis‐inducing effects of these nanoparticles in MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line. The characteristics and morphology of the green synthesised AgNPs were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. The MTT assay was used to investigate the anti‐proliferative activity of biosynthesised nanoparticles in MCF‐7 cells. Apoptosis test was performed using flow cytometry and expression of caspase 3 and 9 genes. The spherical AgNPs with an average size of 19.17 nm were synthesised. The results showed that biosynthesised AgNPs exhibited cytotoxicity, anti‐cancer, apoptosis induction, and increased expression of genes encoding for caspases 3 and 9 in MCF‐7 cancer cells in a concentration‐ and time‐dependent manner. It seems that green synthesised AgNPs have potential uses for pharmaceutical industries.Inspec keywords: ultraviolet spectra, transmission electron microscopy, cellular biophysics, infrared spectra, visible spectra, nanofabrication, cancer, toxicology, nanomedicine, nanoparticles, biomedical materials, scanning electron microscopy, silver, Fourier transform spectra, X‐ray diffraction, genetics, enzymes, botany, biochemistryOther keywords: spherical AgNPs, biosynthesised AgNPs, anti‐cancer, apoptosis induction, green synthesised AgNPs, MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line, green synthesised silver nanoparticles, Ag, caspase gene expression, flow cytometry, anti‐proliferative activity, MTT assay, pharmaceutical industries, cytotoxicity, UV–visible spectroscopy, nanoparticle morphology, scanning electron microscopy, Centella asiatica leaf extract, biosynthesised nanoparticles, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been undeniable for its antimicrobial activity while its antitumour potential is still limited. Therefore, the present study focused on determining cytotoxic effects of AgNPs on Michigan cancer foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) breast cancer cells and its corresponding mechanism of cell death. Herein, the authors developed a bio‐reduction method for AgNPs synthesis using actinomycetes isolated from marine soil sample. The isolated strain was identified by 16s ribotyping method and it was found to be Streptomyces atrovirens. Furthermore, the synthesised AgNPs were characterised by various bio‐analytical techniques such as ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infra‐red spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. Moreover, the results of 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay reveals 44.51 µg of AgNPs to have profound inhibition of cancer cell growth; furthermore, the inhibition of MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line was found to be dose dependent on treatment with AgNPs. Acridine orange and ethidium bromide double staining methods were performed for cell morphological analysis. The present results showed that biosynthesised AgNPs might be emerging alternative biomaterials for human breast cancer therapy.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, antibacterial activity, biomedical materials, tumours, cancer, toxicology, nanofabrication, microorganisms, reduction (chemical), ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, biomimeticsOther keywords: acridine orange, ethidium bromide double staining methods, cell morphological analysis, alternative biomaterials, human breast cancer therapy, time 16 s, Ag, dose dependence, MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line inhibition, cancer cell growth inhibition, 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometer, bioanalytical techniques, ribotyping method, isolated strain, marine soil sample, bioreduction method, cell death, Michigan cancer foundation‐7 breast cancer cells, cytotoxic effects, antitumour potential, antimicrobial activity, human breast cancer cells, potential anticancer activity, Streptomyces atrovirens, silver nanoparticles, biomimetic synthesis 相似文献

In this study, nanocrystalline magnesium zinc ferrite nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a simple sol–gel method using copper nitrate and ferric nitrate as raw materials. The calcined samples were characterised by differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the average particle size of the calcined sample was in a range of 17–41 nm with an average of 29 nm and has spherical size. A cytotoxicity test was performed on human breast cancer cells (MDA MB‐231) and (MCF‐7) at various concentrations starting from (0 µg/ml) to (800 µg/ml). The sample possessed a mild toxic effect toward MDA MB‐231 and MCF‐7 after being examined with MTT (3‐[4, 5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay for up to 72 h of incubation. Higher reduction of cells viability was observed as the concentration of sample was increased in MDA MB‐231 cell line than in MCF‐7. Therefore, further cytotoxicity tests were performed on MDA MB‐231 cell line.Inspec keywords: sol‐gel processing, nanoparticles, nanofabrication, magnesium compounds, zinc compounds, toxicology, biological organs, cancer, cellular biophysics, nanomedicine, calcination, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, particle size, organic compoundsOther keywords: sol‐gel method, cytotoxic effects, breast cancer cell line, MDA MB‐231 in vitro, nanocrystalline magnesium zinc ferrite nanoparticles, copper nitrate, ferric nitrate, raw materials, calcined samples, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, average particle size, cytotoxicity testing, human breast cancer cells, mild toxic effect, 3‐[4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, cell viability, MCF‐7, MDA MB‐231 cell line, size 17 nm to 41 nm 相似文献

A facile synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using the aqueous extracts of the aerial roots of Rhaphidophora aurea (Linden ex Andre) intertwined over Lawsonia inermis and Areca catechu was carried out under different conditions, namely room temperature, higher temperature, sonication, solar irradiation and pH variation. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 536 and 575 nm obtained in UV–visible spectrum revealed the formation of AuNP''s. The sharp SPR band of the synthesised nanogold indicates the formation of spherical‐shaped and uniform‐sized nanoparticles. The TEM analysis revealed spherical nanogold particles of size 35 and 10 nm for MM and MP extracts. The secondary metabolites present in the aqueous extract are suggested to be responsible for the reduction of metal ions to metal nanoparticles as evidenced from results of FTIR analysis. Rapid synthesis of GNPs by sunlight is the production of microscopic grains of gold due to the dissociation of gold chloride. This may induce the reaction between secondary metabolites and gold chloride solutions and results in GNPs. The cytotoxic activity of the synthesised nanogold studied against human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7) by 3‐[4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed significant activity at higher concentration.Inspec keywords: toxicology, gold, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, nanofabrication, cellular biophysics, particle size, surface plasmon resonance, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, transmission electron microscopy, dissociation, cancer, biological organs, Fourier transform infrared spectraOther keywords: cytotoxicity, spherical gold nanoparticles, aerial roots, Rhaphidophora aurea, Linden ex Andre, Lawsonia inermis, Areca catechu, MCF‐7 cell line, sonication, solar irradiation, pH variation, surface plasmon resonance, UV–visible spectrum, spherical‐shaped nanoparticles, uniform‐sized nanoparticles, TEM analysis, spherical nanogold particles, secondary metabolites, metal ions, FTIR analysis, microscopic grains, dissociation, gold chloride solutions, cytotoxic activity, human breast cancer cells, 3‐[4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐ yl]2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, wavelength 536 nm, wavelength 575 nm, Au 相似文献

Currently, nanotechnology and nanoparticles (NPs) are recognised due to their extensive applications in medicine and the treatment of certain diseases, including cancer. Silver NPs (AgNPs) synthesised by environmentally friendly method exhibit a high medical potential. This study was conducted to determine the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of AgNPs synthesised from sumac (Anacardiaceae family) fruit aqueous extract (AgSu/NPs) on human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7). The anti‐proliferative effect of AgSu/NPs was determined by MTT assay. The apoptotic properties of AgSu/NPs were assessed by morphological analysis and acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) and DAPI staining. The mechanism of apoptosis induction in treated cells was investigated using molecular analysis. Overall results of morphological examination and cytotoxic assay revealed that AgSu/NPs exert a concentration‐dependent inhibitory effect on the viability of MCF‐7 cells (IC50 of ∼10 µmol/48 h). AO/PI staining confirmed the occurrence of apoptosis in cells treated with AgSu/NPs. In addition, molecular analysis demonstrated that the apoptosis in MCF‐7 cells exposed to AgSu/NPs was induced via up‐regulation of Bax and down‐regulation of Bcl‐2. These findings suggested the potential use of AgSu/NP as cytotoxic and pro‐apoptotic efficacy and its possible application in modern medicine for treating certain disorders, such as cancer.Inspec keywords: nanoparticles, silver, nanomedicine, biomedical materials, toxicology, cancer, molecular biophysics, proteins, biochemistry, cellular biophysics, nanofabricationOther keywords: Ag, Bcl‐2 down‐regulation, Bax up‐regulation, MCF‐7 cell viability, concentration‐dependent inhibitory effect, cytotoxic assay, molecular analysis, DAPI staining, acridine orange‐propidium iodide staining, morphological analysis, MTT assay, human breast cancer cells, sumac fruit aqueous extract, Anacardiaceae family, cytotoxic effects, drug delivery function, diseases, Rhus coriaria L, silver nanoparticles, antiproliferative potential, apoptotic efficacy 相似文献

In the present study, Ag/AgCl‐NPs were biosynthesised using Hypnea musciformis seaweed extract; NPs synthesis was confirmed by a change of colour and observation of a razor‐sharp peak at 424 nm by UV–visible spectroscopy. Synthesised nanoparticles were characterised by transmission electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Bacterial cell growth inhibition proves that the Ag/AgCl‐NPs have strong antibacterial activity and cell morphological alteration was observed in treated bacterial cells using propidium iodide (PI). Ag/AgCl‐NPs inhibited Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells, colorectal cancer (HCT‐116) and breast cancer (MCF‐7) cell line in vitro with the IC50 values of 40.45, 24.08 and 36.95 μg/ml, respectively. Initiation of apoptosis in HCT‐116 and MCF‐7 cells was confirmed using PI, FITC‐annexin V and Hoechst 33342 dye. No reaction oxygen species generation was observed in both treated and untreated cell lines. A significant increase of ATG‐5 gene expression indicates the possibility of autophagy cell death besides apoptosis in MCF‐7 cells. The initiation of apoptosis in EAC cells was confirmed by observing caspase‐3 protein expression. Ag/AgCl‐NPs inhibited 22.83% and 51% of the EAC cell growth in vivo in mice when administered 1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg/day (i.p.), respectively, for 5 consequent days. 相似文献

The biological method for synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Bacopa monneri leaves and its anti‐proliferation against human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) was studied. The AgNPs synthesis was determined by an ultraviolet–visible spectrum and was confirmed primarily by the colour change and surface plasmon resonance was observed at 450 nm and its reduction of functional groups stretched in AgNPs was identified by Fourier transform infrared and the crystalline nature of AgNPs was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. The structural morphology of the AgNPs was found to be spherical and polygonal shape and size (> 35 nm) were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis and its purity was identified by energy dispersive analysis of X‐rays (EDAX). A further, antibacterial activity of biosynthesised AgNPs against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria was assessed. The cytotoxic effect of synthesised AgNPs was analysed against human lung adenocarcinoma cells by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The GI50 was found to be 20 µg/ml at 24 h incubation. The apoptosis cells containing condensate and marginalised chromatin stages were analysed by propidium iodide staining and DNA damage was observed in A549 treated cells.

Owing to the numerous biological applications, cost effectiveness and low cytotoxicity of the biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs), the authors optimised the production of silver NPs (AgNPs) using aqueous extract of Teucrium stocksianum Boiss. The NPs were characterised by ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐vis) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The UV‐vis spectroscopy revealed a surface plasmon resonance (410‐440 nm) at an incubation temperature of 90°C when 1 mM Ag nitrate combined to 5 mg/ml extract concentration in the ratio of 1:10. DLS results show an average zeta size of ∼44.61 nm and zeta potential of −15.3 mV. SEM and XRD confirmed the high crystallinity and cubical symmetry with an average size below 100 nm. FTIR measurement shows the presence of various functional groups, responsible for the capping and reduction of Ag metal. The 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell viability assay shows that AgNPs are less cytotoxic to J774 and L929 cells as compared with enhanced anticancer activity with low IC50 concentrations (68.24 µg/ml) against Michigan Cancer Foundation‐7 (MCF‐7) cells. The ethidium bromide/acridine orange assay shows that the AgNPs kill the cell by apoptosis. Overall, the results show that AgNPs possesses potent anticancer activities.Inspec keywords: cellular biophysics, cancer, nanobiotechnology, nanomedicine, ultraviolet spectra, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopes, light scattering, patient treatmentOther keywords: anticancer assessment, in vitro cytotoxic assessment, aqueous extract‐mediated AgNPs, Teucrium stocksianum Boiss, nanoparticles, biological applications, biosynthesis, silver NPs, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy, UV‐vis spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, extract concentration, zeta potential, high crystallinity, FTIR measurement, amide molecules, viability assay, enhanced anticancer activity, potent anticancer activities 相似文献

In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the plant‐mediated synthesis of nanoparticles because it is an eco‐friendly method compared to the synthesis by chemical route. This study aims to optimise the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) mediated by coconut water using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of the individual variables (concentration of coconut water, temperature and time) and their interactions during the biosynthesis of ZnO‐NPs were determined by RSM employing Box–Behnken design. The variables selected were tested by a 17‐run experiment and quadratic model was used for the analysis of the results. The accuracy of the model was confirmed by the coefficient of determination (R 2) value of 0.9968. The significance of the regression model was found to be high which is validated by the low probability value of P < 0.0001. The ZnO‐NPs thus synthesised was evaluated for its antimacrofouling activity against mollusks using in‐vitro foot‐adherence bioassay. The results demonstrated the potential of biosynthesised ZnO‐NPs in inhibiting fouling induced due to the test organisms.Inspec keywords: nanoparticles, antibacterial activity, response surface methodology, zinc compounds, regression analysis, design of experiments, biotechnologyOther keywords: plant‐mediated synthesis, eco‐friendly method, biosynthesis, zinc oxide nanoparticles, coconut water, response surface methodology, RSM, Box–Behnken design, quadratic model, regression model, antimacrofouling activity, biosynthesised ZnO‐NPs, process optimisation, green synthesis, ZnO nanoparticles 相似文献

The present study reports on biogenic‐synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived by treating Ag ions with an extract of Cassia fistula leaf, a popular Indian medicinal plant found in natural habitation. The progress of biogenic synthesis was monitored time to time using a ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The effect of phytochemicals present in C. fistula including flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and alkaloids on the homogeneous growth of AgNPs was investigated by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. The dynamic light scattering studies have revealed an average size and surface Zeta potential of the NPs as, −39.5 nm and −21.6 mV, respectively. The potential antibacterial and antifungal activities of the AgNPs were evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida kruseii and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Moreover, their strong antioxidant capability was determined by radical scavenging methods (1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl‐hydrazil assay). Furthermore, the AgNPs displayed an effective cytotoxicity against A‐431 skin cancer cell line by 3‐(4, 5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2, 5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, with the inhibitory concentration (IC50) predicted as, 92.2 ± 1.2 μg/ml.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) comprise non‐toxic surface‐active lipidic agents combined with appropriate ratios of drugs or essential oils. The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of the SLN synthesised using essential oils of Foeniculum vulgare on the MCF‐7 breast cancer cell line. SLNs were prepared by homogenisation and ultrasound techniques and characterised by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential assessment, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay (MTT assay), flow‐cytometry, and Acridine‐Orange assay were employed for assessing the biological activities of the SLNs. The average particle size was 55.43 nm and the net surface charge was −29.54 ± 11.67 mV. TEM showed that the mean particle size was 33.55 nm and the synthesised SLNs had a uniform round morphology. The MTT assay showed that the prepared SLNs had high toxicity against MCF‐7 cells and low toxicity against normal HUVECs cells. Flow‐cytometry revealed a noteworthy rise in the subG1 peak of the cell cycle in the cancer cells treated with SLNs compared to the controls, indicating apoptosis in cancer cells. The results also showed discolouration in SLNs‐treated cells, which further confirmed the induction of apoptosis and the toxicity of the SLNs against MCF‐7 cells. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to design a targeted anti‐cancer drug delivery system for breast cancer. Therefore, doxorubicin (DOX) loaded poly(methyl vinyl ether maleic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by ionic cross‐linking method using Zn2+ ions. To optimise the effect of DOX/polymer ratio, Zn/polymer ratio, and stirrer rate a full factorial design was used and their effects on particle size, zeta potential, loading efficiency (LE, %), and release efficiency in 72 h (RE72, %) were studied. Targeted NPs were prepared by chemical coating of tiptorelin/polyallylamin conjugate on the surface of NPs by using 1‐ethyl‐3‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl) carboiimid HCl as cross‐linking agent. Conjugation efficiency was measured by Bradford assay. Conjugated triptorelin and targeted NPs were studied by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The cytotoxicity of DOX loaded in targeted NPs and non‐targeted ones were studied on MCF‐7 cells which overexpress luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone (LHRH) receptors and SKOV3 cells as negative LHRH receptors using Thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide assay. The best results obtained from NPs prepared by DOX/polymer ratio of 5%, Zn/polymer ratio of 50%, and stirrer rate of 960 rpm. FTIR spectrum confirmed successful conjugation of triptorelin to NPs. The conjugation efficiency was about 70%.

The obtained CuO NPs were characterised by X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis. Significant bacterial activity was manifested by CuO nanoparticles against both Gram‐positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus mutans) and Gram‐negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria.

This study investigated the cellular uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanate‐labelled mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FITC‐MSNs), amine‐functionalised FITC‐MSNs (AP‐FITC‐MSNs) and their gallic acid (GA)‐loaded counterparts. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were labelled with fluorescein isothiocyanate, functionalised by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) (AP‐FITC‐MSNs) and then loaded by GA. All nanoparticles were characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. The cytotoxicity of different concentrations of dyed nanoparticles was investigated using (3‐(4,5‐trihydroxybenzoic acid, dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and flow cytometry. TEM images showed that the average particle sizes of FITC‐MSNs and AP‐FITC‐MSNs were about 100 and 110 nm, respectively. These nanoparticles were internalised by Caco‐2 cells, accumulated and dispersed into the cytoplasm, nucleus, and subcellular organelles. Nanoparticles containing GA clearly decreased the viability of cells. FITC‐MSNs showed no toxicity on Caco‐2 cells at concentrations of ≤50 µg/ml. Functionalisation of FITC‐MSNs using APTES decreased toxicity effects on the cells. It was found that FITC‐MSNs can be applied at low concentrations as a marker in the cells. In addition, AP‐FITC‐MSNs showed better biocompatibility with Caco‐2 cells than FITC‐MSNs, because of their positive surface charges.Inspec keywords: mesoporous materials, porosity, nanoparticles, dyes, silicon compounds, nanocomposites, nanofabrication, nanomedicine, cellular biophysics, molecular biophysics, biochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, toxicology, particle size, biomedical materials, surface charging, cancerOther keywords: fluorescein isothiocyanate‐dyed mesoporous silica nanoparticles, antioxidant delivery tracking, cellular uptake, amine‐functionalised FITC‐MSNs, gallic acid‐loaded counterparts, 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane, transmission electron microscopy, TEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, cytotoxicity, dyed nanoparticles, (3‐(4,5‐trihydroxybenzoic acid‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, flow cytometry, particle sizes, AP‐FITC‐MSNs, Caco‐2 cells, cytoplasm, subcellular organelles, cell viability, biocompatibility, positive surface charges, SiO2 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted the attention of researchers due to their properties. Biological synthesis of AgNPs is eco‐friendly and cost‐effective preferred to physical and chemical methods, which utilize environmentally harmful agents and large amounts of energy. Microorganisms have been explored as potential biofactories to synthesize AgNPs. Bacterial NP synthesis is affected by Ag salt concentration, pH, temperature and bacterial species. In this study, Bacillus spp., isolated from soil, were screened for AgNP synthesis at pH 12 with 5 mM Ag nitrate (AgNO3) final concentration at room temperature. The isolate with fastest color change and the best ultraviolet‐visible spectrum in width and height were chosen as premier one. AgNO3 and citrate salts were compared in terms of their influence on NP synthesis. Spherical Ag chloride (AgCl) NPs with a size range of 35–40 nm were synthesized in 1.5 mM Ag citrate solution. Fourier transform infrared analysis demonstrated that protein and carbohydrates were capping agents for NPs. In this study, antimicrobial and antitumor properties of the AgNP were investigated. The resulting AgCl NPs had bacteriostatic activity against four standard spp. And multi‐drug resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These NPs are also cytotoxic to cancer cell lines MCF‐7, U87MG and T293.Inspec keywords: silver compounds, nanoparticles, nanomedicine, nanofabrication, particle size, biomedical materials, microorganisms, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, proteins, macromolecules, antibacterial activity, tumours, cancer, cellular biophysics, toxicologyOther keywords: citrate salts, spherical Ag chloride, particle size, Ag citrate solution, Fourier transform infrared analysis, protein, carbohydrates, capping agents, antitumour properties, bacteriostatic activity, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multidrug resistant strain, cancer cell lines MCF‐7,U87MG, size 35 nm to 40 nm, temperature 293 K to 298 K, AgCl, ultraviolet‐visible spectrum, colour change, room temperature, Ag nitrate final concentration, soil, bacterial species, temperature effect, pH, Ag salt concentration, biofactories, microorganisms, environmentally harmful agents, chemical methods, physical methods, antibacterial properties, electrical properties, mechanical properties, silver nanoparticles, multidrug resistant bacteria, antibiofilm effects, antibacterial effects, cytotoxic activity, Bacillus sp. 1/11, biosynthesised AgCl NPs 相似文献

In this work, the authors investigated the apoptotic activities of Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite biosynthesised by Spirulina platensis extract against MCF‐7 (human breast cancer cells). The physico‐chemical properties of prepared Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite were studied by different spectroscopic methods. To evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic effect, MCF‐7 cells were treated with different concentrations of Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite and examined by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Moreover, apoptotic effects were also studied by Hoechst 33258 staining, caspase 3 activation assays, and annexin V‐fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide staining. Microscopic observations of Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposites indicated approximately spherical shape and small particles in the size range of about 30–50 nm. The MTT assay result revealed that the Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite causes a dose‐dependent cell proliferation reduction in MCF‐7 cells (IC50 = 135 μg/ml). Regarding to the Annexin V/PI staining result, the increase percentage of apoptotic cells (28.09%) was detected as compared to untreated cells. According to the caspase assay, Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite enhances caspase 3 level. Furthermore, in vitro anti‐cancer activity of the nanocomposite was performed by Hoechst 33258 staining method. The proposed data suggest that Fe3 O4 /Ag nanocomposite may be an effective agent for the inhibition of breast cancer cells at in vitro level.Inspec keywords: nanomedicine, nanocomposites, toxicology, cancer, drug delivery systems, nanofabrication, cellular biophysics, nanoparticlesOther keywords: MCF‐7 cells, 5‐diphenyl‐tetrazolium, apoptotic effects, propidium iodide staining, dose‐dependent cell proliferation reduction, apoptotic cells, untreated cells, nanocomposite, Hoechst 33258 staining method, human breast cancer cells, physico‐chemical properties, spectroscopic methods, in vitro cytotoxic effect, in vitro anticancer activity, biosynthesis, caspase 3 activation assays, annexin V‐fluorescein isothiocyanate, FITC, Fe3 O4 ‐Ag 相似文献

Present study utilised textile soil isolated bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri to synthesise extracellular silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) under optimised conditions. The synthesised AgNPs were characterised using ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Optimisation showed AgNPs synthesis within 8 h using 2mM Ag nitrate at pH9, temperature 80°C and maximum absorbance toward 400 nm. TEM analysis revealed spherical shape AgNPs and reduction in size upto 8 nm was observed under optimised conditions. FTIR spectra confirmed presence of proteins bound to AgNPs act as reducing agent. AgNPs showed strong antibacterial activity against multi‐drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae as demonstrated by disc diffusion and colony forming unit assays. Zone of inhibition increased with increasing concentration of AgNPs with maximum of 19 mm against E. coli and 17 mm against K. pneumoniae at concentration of 2 μg/disc. Furthermore, AgNPs did not show any cytotoxic effects on human epithelial cells as demonstrated by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay even at 2 μg/ml concentration of AgNPs. The results of the present study suggest that AgNPs can be synthesised rapidly under optimised conditions and show strong antimicrobial property against MDR pathogens without having toxicity effect on human epithelial cells.Inspec keywords: ultraviolet spectra, proteins, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra, Fourier transform spectra, visible spectra, microorganisms, toxicology, cellular biophysics, biomedical materials, antibacterial activity, nanomedicine, nanofabrication, nanoparticles, silverOther keywords: 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, human epithelial cells, cytotoxic effects, K. pneumoniae, colony forming unit counting assays, disc diffusion, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, multidrug resistant, stabilising agent, reducing agent, proteins, parametric optimisation, TEM, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, bacterium, cytotoxicity properties, antimicrobial properties, textile soil, Pseudomonas stutzeri, silver nanoparticle synthesis 相似文献

Selenium (Se) is a rare and essential element for the human body and other living organisms because of its role in the structure of several proteins and having anti‐oxidant properties to reduce oxidative stress at cells. Some microorganisms can absorb Se oxyanions and convert them into zero‐valent Se (Se0) in the nanoscale dimensions, which can be used for producing Se nanoparticles (SeNPs). In the present study, SeNPs were intracellularly biosynthesised by yeast Nematospora coryli, which is an inexpensive method and does not involve using materials hazardous for human and environment. The produced NPs were refined by a two‐phase system and then characterised and identified by ultraviolet–visible, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The structural analysis of biosynthesised SeNPs showed spherical‐shaped NPs with size ranging from 50 to 250 nm. Also, extracted NPs were applied to explore their anti‐candida and anti‐oxidant activities. The results of this investigation confirm the biological properties of Se.Inspec keywords: X‐ray diffraction, microorganisms, oxidation, transmission electron microscopy, reduction (chemical), nanomedicine, biomedical materials, visible spectra, nanoparticles, proteins, nanofabrication, selenium, ultraviolet spectra, particle size, Fourier transform infrared spectra, antibacterial activityOther keywords: proteins, oxidative stress, Se oxyanions, yeast, biosynthesised SeNPs, anti‐oxidant activities, human body, living organisms, Se nanoparticles, Nematospora coryli, anti‐candida activities, biosynthesis, ultraviolet–visible analysis, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, structural analysis, size 50.0 nm to 250.0 nm, Se 相似文献
