Green Synthesis of Bacopa monnieri-Mediated Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles and Analysis of Their Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic Properties.
Curēus 2024 January
Background The management of aggressive forms of periodontal disease has become an issue of concern due to the emergence of bacterial resistance. Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a potential therapeutic agent with a multitude of biological functions. The green synthesis of these NPs is more eco-friendly than conventional methods. The present study aimed at the green synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles using Bacopa monnieri (bMgO NPs) and its antibacterial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic analysis. Materials and methods Magnesium oxide NPs were green synthesized using B. monnieri extract using a wet chemical method. The resultant bMgO NPs were assessed for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . Antioxidant activity was assessed using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and the hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) assay. Cytotoxicity was assessed using zebrafish viability on treatment with bMgO NPs. Results Compared to the antibiotic standard, the green synthesized bMgO NPs showed good antibacterial properties against S. aureus and E. coli . It also showed excellent antioxidant activity and biocompatibility. Conclusion The bMgO NPs have great potential as a local drug delivery agent and should be further explored for their antibacterial and antioxidant properties in vivo.
