Functional Attributes of Myco-Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Endophytic Fungi: A New Implication in Biomedical Applications.

ABSTRACT: To develop a benign nanomaterial from biogenic sources, we have attempted to formulate and fabricate silver nanoparticles synthesized from the culture filtrate of an endophytic fungus Penicillium oxalicum strain LA-1 (PoAgNPs). The synthesized PoAgNPs were exclusively characterized through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The synthesized nanoparticles showed strong absorbance around 430 nm with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and exhibited a face-centered cubic crystalline nature in XRD analysis. Proteins presented in the culture filtrate acted as reducing, capping, and stabilization agents to form PoAgNPs. TEM analysis revealed the generation of polydispersed spherical PoAgNPs with an average size of 52.26 nm. The PoAgNPs showed excellent antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens. The PoAgNPs induced a dose-dependent cytotoxic activity against human adenocarcinoma breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231), and apoptotic morphological changes were observed by dual staining. Additionally, PoAgNPs demonstrated better larvicidal activity against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. Moreover, the hemolytic test indicated that the as-synthesized PoAgNPs are a safe and biocompatible nanomaterial with versatile bio-applications.

Project description:In recent years, the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from microorganisms has become an emerging trend for developing biocompatible nanomaterials that finds applications in nano and biomedical sectors. In the present study, we demonstrated a facile, green and eco-friendly method for AgNPs synthesis using the endophytic fungi (Colletotrichum incarnatum DM16.3) isolated from medicinal plant Datura metel and its in vitro antithrombin and cytotoxic activity. At first, biosynthesis of colloidal AgNPs was predicted by visual observation of color change and UV-visible spectra demonstrated specific surface plasmon resonance peak at 420 nm which confirmed the presence of nanoparticles. Microscopic analyses revealed the structure of highly aggregated, spherical and crystalline AgNPs in the diameter range of 5-25 nm. Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectral analysis confirmed the presence of probable biomolecules required for the reduction of silver ions. In vitro evaluation of thrombin activity demonstrates that AgNPs could exert strong inhibition against both thrombin activity (87%) and thrombin generation (84%), respectively. Further, in silico based mechanistic analysis yielded a better insight in understanding the probable amino acids responsible for AgNPs binding with thrombin protein. Similarly, in vitro cytotoxicity of synthesized AgNPs on human epithelial cells using MTT assay did not produce any substantial effects after 24 h exposure which indicates excellent biocompatibility nature, whereas notable toxicity was observed on human cancerous (HeLa) cells at 50 μg/mL (IC50 value). In addition, assessment of AgNPs at 10 μg/mL concentration via crystal violet method on biofilm forming Gram-positive (Vibrio cholerae) and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacillus cereus) revealed inhibition up to 85 and 46%, respectively. Overall, this study showed the possibility of microbially synthesized AgNPs as a potent inhibitor for managing acute thrombosis and highlighted their role for other biomedical applications.
