Mixed phytochemicals mediated synthesis of copper nanoparticles for anticancer and larvicidal applications.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using Wrightia tinctoria (Wt) R.Br extract is defined in this article as being convenient, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic. UV-visible spectrophotometry, FT-IR, XRD, particle size analyser, SEM-EDAX and TEM methods were used to describe the physicochemical properties of Wt extract mediated synthesized CuNPs (Wt-CuNPs). The Wt-CuNPs synthesized was found to be monodispersed and spherical, with an average size of 15 nm. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) research revealed that the Wt R.Br plant extract contains various phytochemical compounds. The properties of Wt-CuNPs were verified by the findings of characterization tests. Via in silico molecular docking experiments
