Abstract

An eco-friendly environment concerning the synthesis of nanoparticles from medicinal plants, free off or minimal usage of toxic chemicals is a requisite in the research avenues. Present study describes an environment-friendly green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles acquired from leaf extracts of Costus igneus medicinal plant. The formation of ZnO with hexagonal Wurtzite structure is confirmed by XRD analysis and an average crystallite size was estimated as 30 nm. The UV absorbance investigation shows that the optical band gap value of ZnO nanoparticles is 3.25 eV. The ZnO nanoparticles smooth surface morphology, which was observed in SEM investigation. The EDAX study proved the occurrence of oxygen and zinc in the green synthesised nanoparticle. Effective antibacterial inhibition activity was observed against human bacterial species of (E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and then human fungal (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Oidium caricae). The cytotoxicity activity of breast cancer cells (MCF7) of IC50 was calculated as 59.14 μg/mL. Thus, the analysis of feasible herbal-based ZnO nanoparticles from Costus igneus leaf with significant repercussions can be exploited in the application of nanotechnology industries, biomedical and pharmaceutical drug preparations.
