In the present study, a sustainable green chemistry approach was established to fabricate magnetic FeO nanoparticles (FeONPs) using the aqueous fruit extract of edible C. guianensis (CGFE). Synthesized NPs were further confirmed with different high-throughput characterization techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XPS, DLS and zeta potential analysis. Additionally, XRD, AFM, HRTEM and SQUID VSM demonstrate the generation of crystalline CGFeONPs with mean diameter of 17 ± 10 nm. Interestingly, CGFeONPs exhibit a stupendous bactericidal action against different human pathogens which depicts its antimicrobial value. A significant dose-dependent cytotoxic effect of CGFeONPs was noticed against treated human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2).

Among the various applications of nano-biotechnology, healthcare is considered one of the most significant domains. For that possibility to synthesize various kind of nanoparticles (NPs) and the ever-increasing ability to control their size as well as structure, to improve surface characteristics and binding NPs with other desired curing agents has played an important role. In this paper, a brief sketch of various kinds of nanomaterials and their biomedical applications is given. Despite claims of bio-nanotechnology about to touch all areas of medical science, information pertaining to the role of nanotechnology for the betterment of reproductive healthcare is indeed limited. Therefore, the various achievements of nano-biotechnology for healthcare in general have been illustrated while giving special insight into the role of nano-biotechnology for the future of reproductive healthcare betterment as well as current achievements of nanoscience and nanotechnology in this arena.

In recent years, green synthesized nanoparticles from plant extract have drawn a great interest due to their prospective nanomedicinal application. This study investigates a proficient, safer, and sustainable way for the preparation of AgNPs using medicinal plant Pongamia pinnata (family: Leguminoseae, species: Pinnata) seeds extract without using any external reducing and stabilizing agent. Both ultraviolet-visible spectrum at λ = 439 nm and energy dispersive X-ray spectra proof the formation of AgNPs. An average diameter of the AgNPs was 16.4 nm as revealed from transmission electron microscope. Hydrodynamic size (d = ~19.6 nm) was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Zeta potential of AgNPs was found to be -23.7 mV, which supports its dispersion and stability. Fourier transform infrared study revealed that the O ─ H, C ═ O, and C-O-C groups were responsible for the formation of AgNPs. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs was checked against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. AgNPs at its LD dose exhibited synergistic effect with ampicillin. Because protein-AgNPs association greatly affects its adsorption, distribution, and functionality and can also influence the functions of biomolecules. So in order to understand the adsorption and bioavailability, we investigated by fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible, and circular dichroism spectroscopic methods the interaction of synthesized AgNPs toward human serum albumin. The binding affinity and binding sites of human serum albumin toward AgNPs were measured by using the fluorescence quenching data. The circular dichroism spectroscopic results revealed that there was a negligible change of α-helical content in their native structure. Overall, these AgNPs show versatile biological activities and may be applied in the field of nanomedicine.

Herein, we report a facile route to synthesize palladium nanoparticles (CGPdNPs) using the aqueous fruitextract of C. guianensis Aubl. as a potent biological reducing agent. Reduction of PdCl [ 5 2 _ T D $ D I F F ] 2 solution into their nano scale was confirmed with the formation of a black precipitate which gives a reduced absorbance in UV-vis spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals the active role of phenolic constituents from C. guianensis in reduction and surface functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential analysis confirms the generation of [ 5 3 _ T D $ D I F F ] polydispersed highly stable NPs with large negative zeta value (À17.7 mV). Interestingly, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the synthesized CGPdNPs were face centered cubic crystalline in nature. The HRTEM micrographs of CGPdNPs [ 5 4 _ T D $ D I F F ] displays well-dispersed, spherical NPs in the size ranges between 5 and 15 nm with an average of 6 nm. It was also noticed that the synthesized CGPdNPs possess an effective antimicrobial activity against different bacterial [ 5 5 _ T D $ D I F F ] pathogens. On the other hand, in vitro cell viability (MTT) assays [ 5 6 _ T D $ D I F F ] reveals that the synthesized CGPdNPs exhibited [ 5 7 _ T D $ D I F F ] an extraordinary anticancer properties. Eventually, hemocompatibility assay depicts the safe nature of synthesized NPs for biomedical application.
