Abstract
Nanotechnology is widely gaining worldwide application in biology and medicine because of its proven efficacy. Annona muricata contains bioactive phytochemicals with an inherent ability to bio-fabricate metal ions nanoparticles (NPs). Annona muricata aqueous leaf extract and its green bio-fabricated silver nanoparticles were evaluated on red blood cells (RBC) for anti-haemolytic activity and cytogenotoxicity on Allium cepa cells. The effects of A. muricata extract (Am-E) and its biofabricated silver nanoparticles (Am-AgNPs) were observed at 0.7, 7.0 and 70.0 µg/ml on H2O2-induced haemolysis in RBC and cyclophosphamide-induced cytogenotoxicity on A. cepa cells. Results showed significant and concentration dependent anti-haemolytic activity of Am-E relative to Am-AgNPs. Significant (P<0.05) reduction of mitotic index was observed in the groups treated with Am-AgNPs compared with Am-E, which indicates cytotoxic effect of the nanoparticles. The Am-E protected A. cepa meristem root cells from cyclophosphamide-induced mitotic repression better than Am-AgNPs. Different degree of chromosomal abnormalities such as chromosome-bridge, sticky chromosome, and c-mitosis were observed in all the treatment groups with chromosome-bridge and sticky chromosome being prominent. This study revealed stronger anti-haemolytic efficacy of Am-E at higher concentrations compared with Am-AgNPs. Chromosomal abnormalities observed in this study suggest greater chromosomal instability as influenced by the nanoparticles compared with the extract on onion cells. The protective effect of the extract against cyclophosphamide-induced chromosomal aberrations may be an indication of its potential as an anti-genotoxic agent.
期刊介绍:
Caryologia is devoted to the publication of original papers, and occasionally of reviews, about plant, animal and human karyological, cytological, cytogenetic, embryological and ultrastructural studies. Articles about the structure, the organization and the biological events relating to DNA and chromatin organization in eukaryotic cells are considered. Caryologia has a strong tradition in plant and animal cytosystematics and in cytotoxicology. Bioinformatics articles may be considered, but only if they have an emphasis on the relationship between the nucleus and cytoplasm and/or the structural organization of the eukaryotic cell.
