One-Pot Surface Modification of β-Cu2O NPs for Biocatalytic Performance against A-549 Lung Carcinoma Cell Lines through Docking Analysis

“…Shi et al proposed the effect of surface chemistry on the generation of reactive oxygen species by copper nanoparticles . The study of ROS-generating capacity of uniform copper nanoparticles with different capping ligands leads to a better understanding of the relationship between the physicochemical properties and toxicological potential of nanoparticles as reflected by ROS generation in an acellular assay …”

“…56 The study of ROS-generating capacity of uniform copper nanoparticles with different capping ligands leads to a better understanding of the relationship between the physicochemical properties and toxicological potential of nanoparticles as reflected by ROS generation in an acellular assay. 57 Hence, the present investigation has focused on the synthesis of novel water-soluble cuprous oxide nanoparticle (β-Cu 2 O NPs) cuprite phase with a little tenorite (CuO) of mesoporous range via a sonochemical route with amphiphilic nonionic surfactants (PEG) and L-ascorbic acids (LAA) to tune the kinetics of the reaction. The cytotoxicity has been screened against the A-549 lung carcinoma cell line treatment due to their dose-dependent nature.…”
