Green Synthesis and Characterization of Biocompatible Gold Nanoparticles Using Solanum indicum Fruits
This paper reports on the eco‐friendly synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Solanum indicum fruit extract (SFE). We have evaluated various parameters for synthesis of AuNPs such as SFE (0.03%), HAuCl4 (0.5 mM) and reaction time (20 seconds). The synthesized AuNPs were characterized with dif...

| description | This paper reports on the eco‐friendly synthesis
of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Solanum indicum
fruit extract (SFE). We have evaluated various parameters
for synthesis of AuNPs such as SFE (0.03%), HAuCl4 (0.5
mM) and reaction time (20 seconds). The synthesized
AuNPs were characterized with different physical
techniques such as transmission electron microscopy
(TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy,
X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X‐ray
spectroscopy (EDX). TEM experiments showed that
AuNPs presented an anisotropic shape and size ranging
from 5‐50nm. FT‐IR spectroscopy revealed that
biomolecules containing an amine group (–NH2), a
carbonyl group, –OH groups and other stabilizing
functional groups were adsorbed on the surface of the
synthesized AuNPs. EDX showed the presence of the
elements on the surface of the AuNPs. The cytotoxicity of
the synthesized AuNPs were tested on two different
human cancer cell lines, HeLa and MCF‐7 and were
found to be nontoxic, thus providing an opportunity to be
used in biomedical applications. |
