Biosynthesis and characterisation of zinc doped iron oxide nanoparticles from pedalium murex and its new avenues in pharmacological applications
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
Biosynthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles gains attention over the past decades due to its ecofriendly nature and provides nanoparticles with controlled size and shape. In the present work, zinc doped iron oxide nanoparticles was synthesized by co-precipitation method using pedalium murex leaf extract as reducing agent and capping agent. The resulting nano-particles were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR techniques. XRD analysis shows that synthesized ZnIONPs are in hematite phase, rhombohedral in structure. The antimicrobial and anti diabetic activities of synthesized ZnIONPs are analysed by disc diffusion and pancreatic α-amy method and it shows that high level of inhibition.
