Biosynthesis, characterization of cerium oxide nanoparticles using Ceratonia siliqua and evaluation of antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: In this work, the synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles was performed from Ceratonia siliqua extract. The synthesized CeO 2 NPs was characterized by using XRD, FESEM, TEM and FTIR. The results show that the CeO 2 NPs is a crystalline material with average size of 22 nm. FTIR analysis show the presence of macromolecules which act as reducing agents. The antioxidant results show that increasing the concentration of nanoparticles, its antioxidant property is more appears. Also the results show CeO 2 NPs is more effective than BHA, which is an industrial antioxidant. This study revealed the significant inhibitory effects of CeO 2 NPs on the growth of breast cancer cells.
