Abstract
Abstract
Fluorapatite-based bioactive nanomaterials have the potential to be useful in a broad range of medical applications. Fluorapatite nanoparticles were synthesized by irradiation-assisted chemical precipitation technique using the precursors of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate, and ammonium fluoride with a molar ratio of Ca:P:F as 5:3:1 respectively. Analytical studies such as XRD, FTIR, FT-Raman, SEM, and TEM revealed that all samples have nano-sized particles and do not contain any discernible crystalline impurities. The synthesized fluorapatite particles were found to be rod shaped with dimensions 32 × 19 nm. The bioactivity of fluorapatite nanoparticles against the dental bacterial pathogens Fusobacterium nucleatum and Streptococcus mutans and the minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of synthesized fluorapatite nanoparticles were assessed using the DPPH assay. MTT assay was performed on human lung carcinoma cell lines (A549) to determine the cell viability after incubation with fluorapatite nanoparticles.
