“…A remarkable spectacle unfolds when we focus on the functionalized Nb-N-TiO 2 NPs, revealing a triangular aggregation pattern ranging from 500 nm to 2 µm, captured in Fig. 4 [ 48 ]. These variances in shape and size in the SEM images emphasize the profound influence of capping active phytochemicals derived from the ethanolic extracts of M. arvensis upon the doped Nb-N-TiO 2 NPs morphology [ 55 ].…”

“…The ensuing pellet was systematically discarded, while the supernatant was harmoniously merged with an equal volume of double-distilled water and 0.1% (1 mL) ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ). Subsequently, the absorbance magnitude was discerningly quantified at a precise wavelength of 700 nm, employing the specificity and reliability of a Spark multi-plate reader (Tecan) [ 48 ]. This methodical approach optimizes the antioxidant potential of materials, offering profound insights into the reducing potential of ethanolic M. arvensis extracts, pure Nb-N-TiO 2 and functionalized Nb-N-TiO 2 [ 49 ].…”

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have gained significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications. This research explores an approach to functionalize Niobium Nitrogen Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles (Nb-N-TiO2 NPs) with Mentha arvensis ethanolic leaf extracts. This functionalization allows doped NPs to interact with the bioactive compounds in extracts, synergizing their antioxidant activity. While previous studies have investigated the antioxidant properties of TiO2 NPs synthesized using ethanolic extracts of Mentha arvensis, limited research has focused on evaluating the antioxidant potential of doped nanoparticles functionalized with plant extracts. The characterization analyses are employed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy to evaluate these functionalized doped nanoparticles thoroughly. Subsequently, the antioxidant capabilities through the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays have been assessed. Within functionalized Nb-N-TiO2, the FTIR has a distinctive peak at 2350, 2010, 1312, 1212, and 1010 cm−1 with decreased transmittance associated with vibrations linked to the Nb-N bond. SEM revealed a triangular aggregation pattern, 500 nm to 2 µm of functionalized Nb-N-TiO2 NPs. Functionalized doped Nb-N-TiO2 NPs at 500 µg mL−1 exhibited particularly robust antioxidant activity, achieving an impressive 79% efficacy at DPPH assessment; meanwhile, ferric reduction efficiency of functionalized doped Nb-N-TiO2 showed maximum 72.16%. In conclusion, doped Nb-N-TiO2 NPs exhibit significantly enhanced antioxidant properties when functionalized with Mentha arvensis ethanolic extract compared to pure Nb-N-TiO2 manifested that doped Nb-N-TiO2 have broad promising endeavors for various biomedicine applications.

“…However, doxorubicin which is the toxic anticancer agent used in this study as a reference was toxic to HEK 293 cells with an LC 50 = 1.20 ± 1.09 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity of CuO biosynthesized using extracts of seeds of Mucuna pruriens utilis IC 50 = 42.33 μg/mL against HEK 293 cells [ 32 ]. The latter concurs with our finding that CuO biosynthesized A. phylicoides NPs are none toxic to normal cells, therefore, are safe for the development of therapeutic drugs.…”

Biosynthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles using plant extract is an inexpensive, simple, rapid, and environmentally friendly approach to obtaining nanoparticles for biological applications. Herein, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) were successfully synthesized using an aqueous extract from Ligustrum lucidum leaves. The structural, optical, and morphological characteristics of the nanoparticles were assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometer, transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Nanocrystalline CuO with an average crystalline size of 22.0 nm and a band gap energy of 1.4 eV were confirmed from the XRD and UV vis spectrophotometer, respectively. Morphological studies showed spherical nanoparticles, whose particle size estimation (30±5 nm) agrees with the crystalline size deduced from the XRD pattern. A free radical scavenging activity of the CuO nnanoparticles, evaluated using the 1, 1-diphenhyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, showed that it exhibited high antioxidant activity (IC50: 63.35 µg/mL) that is concentration dependent. Antifungal evaluation using four different fungal strains (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, and Trichoderma harzianum) indicated a direct relationship between the potency of the particles and their concentration, with 1 ppm solution exhibiting the highest potency. The green synthesized CuO-NPs using Ligustrum lucidum may be potentially used as an antioxidant and antifungal agent for therapeutic applications.
