Green Synthesis of Zinc oxide Nanocomposite Using Fusarium oxysporum and Evaluation of the Anticancer Effect on Hepatocellular Carcinoma
EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY(2022)
Abstract
Nanoparticles can be synthesized by chemical, physical and biological system methods. In this work, Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide@Silver nanoparticles (SPION@Ag NPs) were modified by zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). SPION@Ag core shell NPs were synthesized by the biological method using Fusarium oxysporum fungus and coated with ZnO NPs. This method is eco-friendly and low cost. Characterization techniques such as UV, FTIR, HR-TEM, HR-SEM, XRD and zeta potential were used. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatocellular carcinoma was induced by a single dose of diethyl nitrosamine (DEN) 60 mg/Kg b.wt. and was followed after two days by carbon tetra chloride (CC1(4)) diluted with paraffm oil (50% v/v, 2 ml/Kg b.wt.) twice a week for one month. A histopathological examination was done after sacrifying. Clear changes were shown in the comparison between the HCC group treated with ZnO@SPION@Ag nanocomposite and the positive control group. Liver function tests showed a highly significant decrease after using the nanocomposite for HCC treatment. Our study aim is to evaluate the therapeutic anticancer effect of ZnO@SPION@Ag nanocomposite on hepatocellular carcinoma in male albino rats, which was synthesized by a new method called green chemistry or green synthesis.
