One-Pot Surface Modification of β-Cu₂O NPs for Biocatalytic Performance against A-549 Lung Carcinoma Cell Lines through Docking Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The physicochemical approaches and biological principles in bio-nanotechnology favor specially functionalized nanosized particles. Cuprous oxide nanoparticles (β-Cu₂O NPs) of cuprite phase with a little tenorite (CuO) may be very effective in the development of novel therapeutic approaches against several fatalities including A-549 lung carcinoma cell lines. Consequently, the synthesis of β-Cu₂O NPs for the improvement in the therapeutic index and drug delivery application is becoming an effective strategy in conventional anticarcinoma treatment. Hence, surface-enhanced nanosized spherical cuprous oxide nanoparticles (β-Cu₂O NPs) of cuprite phase were successfully prepared using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as an amphiphilic nonionic surfactant and l-ascorbi
