The green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) had been synthesized by pomegranate peel extract (PPE). The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities of the synthesized Se NPs, as well as their hemocompatibility, were investigated. Se NPs were characterized by UV-Vis., SEM, XRD, HR-TEM, DLS, EDX, FTIR, and mapping techniques. HR-TEM image represented the spheroidal forms with moderately monodispersed NPs with a mean diameter 14.5 nm. The SEM image of Se NPs, incorporated with PPE, exhibits uniform NP surfaces, and the appearance was clear. The antimicrobial results confirmed the potential of Se NPs to hinder the growth of some tested pathogenic microbes. Results revealed that Se NPs exhibited promising antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans where inhibition zones were 29, 16, 41, 22, and 54 mm, respectively. Likewise, it exhibited antifungal activity where the values of inhibition zones were 41, 40, 38, and 36 mm against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and A. niger, respectively. The antioxidant activities of Se NPs at concentrations 250-4000 µg/mL were greater than 90% in all cases. Se NP concentrations of 500 µg/mL or less are safe in usage according to hemocompatibility study. Se NPs had an IC of 113.73 µg/mL in a cytotoxicity experiment. Results revealed that Se NPs have promising anticancer activities against MCF7 and Mg63 cancerous cell line, where IC was 69.8 and 47.9 μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, Se NPs were successfully biosynthesized using PPE for the first time; these Se NPs had promising antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.
石榴皮提取物(PPE)合成了硒纳米粒子(Se NPs)的绿色合成。研究了合成的 Se NPs 的抗菌、抗氧化和抗癌活性及其血液相容性。Se NPs 通过 UV-Vis.、SEM、XRD、HR-TEM、DLS、EDX、FTIR 和映射技术进行了表征。HR-TEM 图像表示具有中等单分散性的 NPs 的球形形状,平均直径为 14.5nm。Se NPs 的 SEM 图像与 PPE 结合,显示出均匀的 NP 表面,外观清晰。抗菌结果证实了 Se NPs 抑制一些测试的致病性微生物生长的潜力。结果表明,Se NPs 对大肠杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和变形链球菌表现出良好的抗菌活性,抑菌圈分别为 29、16、41、22 和 54mm。同样,它对真菌也表现出抗真菌活性,抑菌圈值分别为 41、40、38 和 36mm,分别针对白色念珠菌、新生隐球菌、烟曲霉和黑曲霉。在所有情况下,浓度为 250-4000μg/mL 的 Se NPs 的抗氧化活性均大于 90%。根据血液相容性研究,浓度为 500μg/mL 或更低的 Se NPs 安全使用。在细胞毒性实验中,Se NP 的 IC 为 113.73μg/mL。结果表明,Se NPs 对 MCF7 和 Mg63 癌细胞系具有良好的抗癌活性,IC 分别为 69.8 和 47.9μg/mL。总之,首次使用 PPE 成功地生物合成了 Se NPs;这些 Se NPs 具有良好的抗菌、抗氧化和抗癌活性。
