Herein, FeO nanoparticles synthesized using aqueous extract of corn ear leaves were investigated for proteasome inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity, synergistic antibacterial, and anticandidal potential. The UV-Vis spectrum displayed an absorption band at 355 nm that indicated the formation of nano-sized FeO particles. Vibrating sample magnetometer analysis revealed its superparamagnetic nature. FeO nanoparticles exhibited strong proteasome inhibitory potential and antioxidant activity and exerted strong synergistic antibacterial and anticandidal activity. Its significant proteasome inhibitory potential could be useful in cancer treatment and drug delivery. Furthermore, strong antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticandidal activity make them a promising candidate for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
In the title compound, [Cr(ONO)(2)(cyclam)]NO(2) (cyclam is 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, C(10)H(24)N(2)), the complex cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis. The central Cr atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, involving two Cr-O bonds, with the monodentate nitrite O atoms adopting a cis configuration, and four Cr-N bonds. The mean Cr-N and Cr-O distances are 2.0895 (14) and 1.9698 (14) A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
