In the realm of nanotechnology, the use of algae to produce nanoparticles is an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and economically viable strategy. In the present study, the brown macroalgae was utilized to effectively produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Through various characterization techniques, the AgNPs' structural integrity was confirmed. AgNPs exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against and . AgNPs showed cytotoxic effects on the MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line with an IC of 12.5 µg/ml. Treatment with AgNPs resulted in a marked reduction in cell viability, alongside evident apoptotic and necrotic morphological changes in the cancer cells. Through molecular docking studies, a deeper understanding of the interaction between AgNPs and crucial proteins related to cancer has been achieved, AgNPs showed a promising molluscicidal action on snails, a intermediate host. The half-lethal dose (LC) of AgNPs was determined to be 0.84 mg/L. The potential consequences of its administration include potential disruptions to the glycolysis profile, as well as potential impacts on the steroidal hormone's estrogen and testosterone and certain kidney function tests. This study highlights the diverse uses of algae-synthesized AgNPs, ranging from healthcare to environmental management, demonstrating their importance in advancing nano-biotechnological solutions.
在纳米技术领域,利用藻类生产纳米颗粒是一种环境友好、可持续且经济可行的策略。在本研究中,褐藻被用于有效生产银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)。通过各种表征技术,证实了AgNPs的结构完整性。AgNPs对[具体对象1]和[具体对象2]表现出显著的抗菌活性。AgNPs对MCF - 7乳腺腺癌细胞系具有细胞毒性作用,其半数抑制浓度(IC)为12.5 µg/ml。用AgNPs处理导致细胞活力显著降低,同时癌细胞出现明显的凋亡和坏死形态变化。通过分子对接研究,对AgNPs与癌症相关关键蛋白之间的相互作用有了更深入的了解,AgNPs对中间宿主[螺类名称]显示出有前景的杀螺作用。AgNPs的半数致死剂量(LC)被确定为0.84 mg/L。其施用的潜在后果包括可能扰乱糖酵解谱,以及可能对甾体激素雌激素和睾酮以及某些肾功能测试产生影响。本研究突出了藻类合成的AgNPs的多种用途,从医疗保健到环境管理,证明了它们在推进纳米生物技术解决方案方面的重要性。
