Biosynthesis of colloidal Copper Oxide Nanoparticles using Manilkara hexandra (Roxb.) Dubard leaf extract and its Physicochemical Characterization and Pharmaceutical Evaluation

Abstract

In the present investigation, plant mediated bio-synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles is synthesized using Manilkara hexandra leaf extract and were further characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Presence of bio-molecules), UV-vis spectroscopy (250-300 nm), Field electron scanning electron microscope (30 to 60 nm), Energy dispersive x-ray analysis (Cu, O elements), X-ray diffraction analysis (face-centered cubic structure), Particle size analyser (343 nm) , Zeta potential (-9.50mV). The Thermogravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis and Differential scanning calorimetry is also examined to find the stability of materials. This confirms that copper oxide nanoparticles are well formed and synthesized. They are further tested with anti-microbial assays and antioxidant evaluation (DPPH method in-vitro) these reports show high estimation. This confirms that the copper oxide nanoparticles can be produced in large scale and can be implied for prevention of food , crops and drug delivery system.
