Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study aims at the evaluation of in vitro and in vivo toxicities of green TiO2 nanoparticles (GS-TiO2) that are biosynthesised using hydroalcoholic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves using microwave energy. Commercially available TiO2 NPs (CS-TiO2) were used for comparison. In vitro hemotoxicity was evaluated using haemolysis assay, and viability of fibroblast cells using WST-8 assay. In vivo toxicity evaluation was performed using the silkworm model. Haemolysis assay showed that GS-TiO2 caused acceptable haemolysis of 2.3% and CS-TiO2 showed higher haemolysis of 4.4%. As per WST-8 assay, viability of fibroblast cells was better in groups treated with GS-TiO2 with more than 50% survival. Silkworm growth parameters were significantly improved in GS-TiO2-treated batches. At the biomolecular level, changes in haemolymph protein banding patterns indicated strong growth promoting potential of GS-TiO2. Considering the salient findings derived from toxicity results, we propose that GS-TiO2 shall be potent NPs for various biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research with a particular interest in synthesis, processing, and properties from the nanoscale to the microscale to the bulk. Coverage includes all classes of material – ceramics, metals, and polymers; semiconductors and other functional materials; organic and inorganic materials – alone or in combination as composites. Innovation in composition and processing to impart special properties to bulk materials and coatings, and for innovative applications in technology, represents a strong focus. The journal attempts to balance enduring themes of science and engineering with the innovation provided by such areas of research activity.
