Preparation of Cu nanoparticles fixed on cellulosic walnut shell material and investigation of its antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer effects.

ABSTRACT: In this study, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer effects of Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) fixed on cellulosic walnut shell material were investigated. Firstly, three types of walnut shell-supported copper nanoparticles with various sizes (CuNP-WS1 15-22 nm, CuNP-WS2 60-80 nm and, CuNP-WS3 aggregated of metallic nanoparticles) were synthesized. Antibacterial properties of CuNPs were studied on three strains of bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. DPPH (1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method was used to examining antioxidant properties. Cytotoxic effects of the synthesized nanoparticles on the cancer cell line were studied. Antimicrobial properties of CuNPs showed that these nanomaterials affect both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antioxidant properties of CuNPs increased significantly by increasing the concentration to 10%. CuNPs appeared to have a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on K562 cells. However, the IC50 of the synthesized nanoparticles against the K562 (25.24 ± 5 ?g/mL) cancer cells was lower significantly (P < 0.01) of the IC50 of these compounds against PBMCs (42.54 ± 6.2 ?g/mL).

Project description:The biocompatible, viscoelastic properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in combination with the antimicrobial and antioxidant natural polyphenolic, tannic acid (TA), and the natural flavonoid and antioxidant curcumin (Cur), were used in the preparation of PVA:TA and PVA:TA:Cur cryogel composites using cryotropic gelation to combine the individually beneficial properties. The effect of TA content on the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of PVA:TA cryogel composites and the antioxidant activities of PVA:TA:Cur cryogel composites was determined using Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and total phenol content (TPC) assays, and were compared. The PVA:TA:Cur cryogel composite showed the highest antioxidant activity, with a TEAC value of 2.10 ± 0.24 and a TPC value of 293 ± 12.00. The antibacterial capacity of the PVA:TA and PVA:TA:Cur 1:1:0.1 cryogel composites was examined against two different species of bacteria, E. coli and S. aureus. It was found that the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value of the PVA:TA:Cur 1:1:0.1 cryogel composites varied between 5 and 10 mg/mL based on the type of microorganism, and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) value was 20 mg/mL irrespective of the type of microorganism. Furthermore, the hemocompatibility of the PVA:TA cryogel composites was evaluated by examining their hemolytic and coagulation behaviors. PVA:TA 1:1 cryogels with a value of 95.7% revealed the highest blood clotting index value amongst all of the synthesized cryogels, signifying the potential for blood contacting applications. The release of TA and Cur from the cryogel composites was quantified at different pH conditions, i.e., 1.0, 7.4, and 9.0, and additionally in ethanol (EtOH) and an ethanol-water (EtOH:Wat) mixture. The solution released from the PVA:TA cryogels in PBS was tested for inhibition capability against α-glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.20). Concentration-dependent enzyme inhibition was observed, and 70 µL of 83 µg/mL PVA:TA (1:1) cryogel in PBS inhibited α-glucosidase enzyme solution of 0.03 unit/mL in 70 µL by 81.75 ± 0.96%.
