Eco-friendly synthesis, characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles from Ecbolium viride and its multifunctional bioactivities in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anticancer applications
摘要
The Ecbolium viride was used to synthesis the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). From this work, the synthesized NPs were characterized through range of analytical techniques. FTIR was used to detect the presence of functional groups such as alcohol, ester, aromatic compound, conjugated anhydrate, and alkene, these functional groups are responsible for the nanoparticle synthesis. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) confirmed a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure ofthe ZnO NPs. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images displayed aggregated spherical-shaped NPs, with an elemental composition of oxygen (28.43%) and zinc (71.57%). ZnO NPs exhibited strong antioxidant activity. The α-amylase inhibition assay showed a 72% of inhibition, which indicating NPs potential anti-diabetic activity. Furthermore, the ZnO NPs exhibited anticancer activity against HeLa cells, with a 46.67% of reduction in cell viability. Additionally,the photocatalytic degradation percentage of methylene blue is 86.58% and Rhodamine b is 80%. These findings suggest that ZnO NPs synthesized using E. viride have promising antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties. The green synthesis approach reduce the hazardous waste materials and enhance the therapeutic potentials. .
