Abstract
This work investigates the structural, photocatalytic, and biological properties of Juglans regia leaves extract mediated chitosan-modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and Juglans regia mediated TiO2 NPs. The structural and morphological analysis conducted using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and FTIR revealed that synthesizing the TiO2 NPs using both chitosan and Juglans regia leaves extract results in lower particle size and less agglomeration in comparison to TiO2 NPs synthesized using only Juglans regia leaves extract. The photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B using phytomediated chitosan-modified TiO2 NPs has a remarkable degradation efficacy of 95.07% when subjected to UV–visible light. Further, phytomediated chitosan-modified TiO2 NPs have ability to reduce the E2 estrogen levels and which inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells (MCF-7) which was confirmed by yeast based XenoScreen XL YES assay, [3H] thymidine incorporation, and apoptosis gene expression (Casp 3 and Casp 9) analysis.
期刊介绍:
Luminescence provides a forum for the publication of original scientific papers, short communications, technical notes and reviews on fundamental and applied aspects of all forms of luminescence, including bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, sonoluminescence, triboluminescence, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence and phosphorescence. Luminescence publishes papers on assays and analytical methods, instrumentation, mechanistic and synthetic studies, basic biology and chemistry.
Luminescence also publishes details of forthcoming meetings, information on new products, and book reviews. A special feature of the Journal is surveys of the recent literature on selected topics in luminescence.
