Green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using Euphorbia hirta leaves extract and its biological applications

Biosynthesis of CuO Nanoparticles Using Plant Extract as a Precursor: Characterization, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Activity

“…This is attributed to their crucial physicochemical properties, including being a p-type semiconductor with a narrow band gap [16], catalytic activity [17], and optical and magnetic properties [18]. CuO NPs can be applied to applications in various domains such as dye degradation [19], energy storage [20], chemical industries [21], solar cells [22], antifungal and antibacterial treatments [23], antiinflammatory effects [24], antioxidant properties [25], and anticancer research [26]. Reports exist on the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles from different plant species, including Annona squamosa [27], Psidium guajava [28], Bougainvillea [29], Catharanthus roseus [30], Houttuynia cordata [31], Justicia gendarussa [32], Aerva javanica [33], Cissus vitiginea [34], Colocasia esculenta [35], Lantana camara L., and Nerium oleander L. [36] etc.…”

Biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles using aloe vera leaves extract and their evaluation of antibacterial, anticancer in human Hela cancer cells

“…They came to the conclusion that there was no cytotoxicity on the normal cell line and that the copper nanoparticles exhibited very low cell viability and dose-dependent anti-lung cancer effects against different cell lines. Similarly, Vaitheeswari et al, used euphorbia hirta leaf extract for the synthesis of CuO NPs [14] and studied their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. They synthesized spherical-shaped nanoparticles of uniform size.…”
