Green Synthesis of Piperine Loaded Gold/Triton X-100 Nanoconjugates: In-vitro Evaluation of Biocompatibility and Anti-Oxidant Activity

Abstract

In this research, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized by a green chemical approach using the organic natural product piperine isolated from the black pepper. The piperine-Au NPs attached on the Triton X-100 and they were characterized by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), dynamic light scattering spectroscopy (DLS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The TEM analysis confirmed the spherical shape of Au NPs with a diameter of 17-30 nm. The XRD analysis revealed that the Au NPs exhibited fcc crystal structure with an average crystallite size of 26 nm. The biocompatibility of the piperine-AuNPs-Triton X-100 nanoconjugates were examined on Hep-G2 cells. The piperine-AuNPs-Triton X-100 nanoconjugates exhibited better anti-oxidant activity.

Biological and Photocatalytic Activity of Silver Nanoparticle Synthesized from Ehretia laevis Roxb. Leaves Extract

“…Nanomaterials possess enhanced physicochemical properties and biological activities in comparison with the bulk materials. This property makes nanoparticles useful in different fields of science and technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Researchers emphasize on silver nanoparticles because of its opportunity in the field of high information storage, electroluminescence and photoluminescence devices [12].…”
