{"title":"Green biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using aqueous extracts of Hypericum perforatum L (St John's wort) for cancer targeting","authors":"A. Alahmad, T. Scheper","doi":"10.4172/2324-8777-C2-024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2324-8777-C2-024","url":null,"abstract":"T Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with biological molecules through using of plants has received much attention lately because it is fast, effective and environmentally friendly[1-2]. The present study reports that Ag NPs were synthesized from a silver nitrate solution with Hypericum perforatum L (St John's wort) [4-5] aqueous extracts with different concentrations. Resulting Ag NPs were characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Energy Disperse X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). At the end of this work we have monodisperse spherical nanoparticles, their size is approximately between 20 to 50 nm as is evident through the results and images: TEM, SEM, DLS and NTA. These nanoparticles were coated with a protective surface layer from a component or group of organic components that have not been identified so far. Currently the composition of the surface layer is investigated using High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and (GC-MS). UV–VIS absorption studies revealed the presence of surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks in range of 425-450 nm. The XRD studies, energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the formation of metallic silver and these particles are crystallized in face-centered cubic structure. The EDX spectrum indicated the presence of 71% of silver particles by weight with least impurities. FTIR showed that nanoparticles were capped with biomoieties on their surface, where it refers to the hydrophilic functional groups in the capping matrix which can improve the stability of AgNPs. In future work, these nanoparticles will be conjugated with aptamers to result in specific targeting of tumor cells [3], where the small size of produced AgNPs will facilitate penetration of tissues.","PeriodicalId":16457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials & Molecular Nanotechnology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88606365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zhongzheng, Zhou Shiyun","doi":"10.4172/2324-8777.1000252","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2324-8777.1000252","url":null,"abstract":"The geometrical structure, energy band structure, density of states and optical properties of La, Ce and Th doped two-dimensional (2D) SiC are investigated by using the first-principle method. Geometrical structure results show that all of the doping atoms cause obvious distortion of the crystal lattice near the doping atoms, and the degree of distortion is related to the covalent radius of different doping atoms. The pure 2D SiC is a direct-gap semiconductor with a gap of 2.60 eV. Near the Fermi energy, the density of states is mainly composed of C-2p and Si-3p. When doping with La, Ce and Th, the band gap of 2D SiC decreased and all of them turn into quasi-direct band-gap semiconductors. The valence band of La and Th doped 2D SiC are mainly composed of C-2p, Si-3p, La-5d and Th-6d, respectively, while Ce-doped has little effect on the valence band of 2D SiC. The conduction band of La, Ce and Th doped 2D SiC are mainly composed of Si-3p, La-5d, Ce-4f and Th-6s6d5f, respectively. When Si atom is replaced by rare earth atom, the rare earth atoms lose their charges. The bond of rare earth atom and C atom has weak covalent, while ionic is stronger. Among all of the studied systems, La-doped 2D SiC has the biggest static dielectric constant 2.33, the biggest peak of e2(ω) in the low energy region, the maximum refractive index n0 1.53. Ce-doped 2D SiC has the maximum absorption 6.88 × 104 cm-1 in the lower energy region. La or Ce doped 2D SiC can enhance the absorption in the lower energy region, while Th-doped will decrease the absorption of 2D SiC in the range of 0 ~ 15 eV. The research results will provide some theoretical guidance for the development and application of 2D SiC.","PeriodicalId":16457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials & Molecular Nanotechnology","volume":"172 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76945720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seed-mediated approach is the most widely used technique for the synthesis of gold nanorods. However, batches of nanorods synthesized using this method have a broadened longitudinal plasmon (LP) peak and uncertainty in the wavelength of the peak. This paper describes a technique to tune the synthesized nanorod distributions by using laser pulses at specific wavelengths that either reduce the width of the population LP peak or control its position. The overlap between the LP peaks of pairs of batches of gold nanorods was successfully reduced by at least 9%. Batches of nanorods with a sharper LP peak and/or a more desirable LP resonance wavelength could eventually be utilized in molecular biosensing and imaging applications requiring the simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple aspectratio gold nanorods.","PeriodicalId":16457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials & Molecular Nanotechnology","volume":"77 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89026248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
