Synergistic mechanism and characterization of fruit peel copper nanoparticles from combination of different plants for cytotoxicity
Innovative, low-toxicity drug delivery techniques depend on the synergistic effects of nanoparticles. Internal cellular adhesion, exterior wrapping, embedding, and translocation of nanoparticles are all discussed in relation to the basic nano interface interaction that results from this synergism. The charge, ligand chemistry, surface area, size, and shape of nanoparticles all affect translocation. However, it has been discovered that some nanoparticles are harmful to both humans and the environment. Contextualizing these cause and effect patterns is therefore essential for future discussions and research on nanotechnology. The objective of this work was to combine Pineapple and Kiwi fruit peel extract in an aqueous medium to produce copper nanoparticles. Copper nanoparticles are described using a variety of techniques after production. This study also evaluates the effects of biosynthesized copper nanoparticles on the A375 cell line. The impact of copper nanoparticles on the viability of the A375 cell line was evaluated using the (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The findings of MTT experiment demonstrated that concentration had an effect on cell viability. After 24 hours, survival decreased from 94% to 39% (5–100 µg/ml). These effects depend on concentration and are independent of exposure length. More research is recommended to determine the nature and implications of this process, particularly in cancer research.
