This work focused on the biosynthesis of Ag/CeO and CuO/CeO nanocomposites (NCs) using extract. The nanocomposites were efficiently characterized using different techniques such as FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, zeta potential, DLS, TEM, SEM, EDX, and XRD analyses. The extract provided high phenolic and flavonoid contents, while demonstrating strong antioxidant action at IC = 0.042 mg mL. In particular, both nanocomposites exhibited privileged antifungal activity against with superiority to CuO/CeO (MIC = 29 µg mL) over Ag/CeO (MIC = 49 µg mL). TEM analyses confirmed the adverse effect of nanocomposites on the fungal cell wall. The CuO/CeO structure led to mitochondrial and cytoplasmic damage in MCF-7 cells (IC = 0.5071 µg mL) according to cytotoxicity tests; however, the Ag/CeO NC resulted in significant nuclear damage and an increased occurrence of autophagy events. The nanocomposites showed cytotoxic properties by causing oxidative stress, leading to damage of the genomic material and defects in cell structure, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.
这项工作聚焦于使用提取物生物合成Ag/CeO和CuO/CeO纳米复合材料(NCs)。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、紫外可见光谱、zeta电位、动态光散射(DLS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能谱分析(EDX)和X射线衍射(XRD)分析等不同技术对纳米复合材料进行了有效表征。该提取物具有高酚类和黄酮类含量,同时在IC50 = 0.042 mg/mL时表现出强大的抗氧化作用。特别是,两种纳米复合材料均对[具体真菌名称未给出]表现出优异的抗真菌活性,其中CuO/CeO(MIC = 29 µg/mL)优于Ag/CeO(MIC = 49 µg/mL)。TEM分析证实了纳米复合材料对真菌细胞壁的不利影响。根据细胞毒性测试,CuO/CeO结构导致MCF - 7细胞中的线粒体和细胞质损伤(IC50 = 0.5071 µg/mL);然而,Ag/CeO NC导致显著的核损伤和自噬事件发生率增加。纳米复合材料通过引起氧化应激表现出细胞毒性,导致基因组物质损伤和细胞结构缺陷,表明其具有潜在的治疗应用。
