The present investigation aims for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using plant extract. 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 ( and ) and Gram-negative ( and ) bacteria. The synthesised CuO NPs have good cytotoxicity against both human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and lung cancer cell line (A549) with minimum cytotoxic effect on normal L929 (fibroblast) cell lines.
本研究旨在利用植物提取物合成氧化铜纳米粒子(CuO NPs)。通过 X 射线衍射、傅里叶变换红外光谱、紫外-可见光谱、光致发光、扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜分析对所得 CuO NPs 进行了表征。氧化铜纳米粒子对革兰氏阳性菌( 和 )和革兰氏阴性菌( 和 )均表现出显著的抗菌活性。所合成的 CuO NPs 对人乳腺癌细胞系(MCF-7)和肺癌细胞系(A549)均具有良好的细胞毒性,对正常 L929(成纤维细胞)细胞系的细胞毒性最小。
