The green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extract is a new method that can be used in various biomedical applications. Therefore, the green approach was an aspect of ongoing research for the synthesis titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NP) using the aqueous plant extract, which acts as a stabilizing and reducing agent. The synthesis of TiO NPs was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) analyses. The excitation energy to synthesize TiO NPs was identified through the UV-vis spectrophotometric analysis at a wavelength of 244 nm. Further, the FT-IR spectroscopy visualized different biomolecules like OH, C=O, C-H, and C-O that were present in an aqueous extract of the plant and were responsible for the stabilization of TiO NPs. The crystallinity and phase purity of TiO NPs were illustrated by the sharp peaks of the XRD pattern. The spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 10 to 80 nm was examined using SEM images. The elemental composition of TiO NPs was revealed by the intensity and narrow widths of titanium and oxygen using EDX analysis. This report also explains the antiepileptic activity of TiO NPs in a maximal electroshock-induced epileptic (MESE) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model. The synthesized TiO NPs showed maximum antiepileptic activity in the PTZ model, significantly decreasing the convulsions (65.0 ± 5.50 s) at 180 mg/kg in contrast to standard drug phenytoin, whereas the MESE model was characterized by the appearance of extensor, clonus, and flexion. The results showed that synthesized TiO NPs significantly reduced the time spent in each stage (15.3 ± 0.20, 16.8 ± 0.25, and 20.5 ± 0.14 s) at 180 mg/kg as compared to control groups. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of synthesized produced TiO NPs demonstrated that concentrations ≤80 μg/mL were biologically compatible.
利用植物提取物绿色合成纳米颗粒是一种可用于各种生物医学应用的新方法。因此,绿色方法是正在进行的一项研究内容,即使用水性植物提取物合成二氧化钛纳米颗粒(TiO NP),该提取物可作为稳定剂和还原剂。通过能量色散X射线(EDX)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)和紫外可见光谱(UV-vis)分析证实了TiO NPs的合成。通过在244 nm波长下的紫外可见分光光度分析确定了合成TiO NPs的激发能量。此外,FT-IR光谱显示了植物水提取物中存在的不同生物分子,如OH、C=O、C-H和C-O,它们负责TiO NPs的稳定化。XRD图谱的尖锐峰说明了TiO NPs的结晶度和相纯度。使用SEM图像检查了尺寸范围为10至80 nm的球形形态。通过EDX分析中钛和氧的强度和窄宽度揭示了TiO NPs的元素组成。本报告还解释了TiO NPs在最大电休克诱导癫痫(MESE)和戊四氮(PTZ)模型中的抗癫痫活性。合成的TiO NPs在PTZ模型中表现出最大的抗癫痫活性,与标准药物苯妥英相比,在180 mg/kg时惊厥明显减少(65.0±5.50 s),而MESE模型的特征是出现伸展、阵挛和屈曲。结果表明,与对照组相比,合成的TiO NPs在180 mg/kg时显著减少了在每个阶段所花费的时间(15.3±0.20、16.8±0.25和20.5±0.14 s)。此外,合成的TiO NPs的细胞毒性表明浓度≤80μg/mL具有生物相容性。
