IN VITRO ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-OXIDANT AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF GREEN SYNTHESIZED COPPER OXIDE (CUO) NANOPARTICLES USING LEAF EXTRACTS OF CYPERUS ROTUNDUS

Abstract

Cyperus rotundus L. is a colonial, perennial herb considered to have originated in India 2000 years ago and widely used in Ayurveda to treat several ailments. In
addition to its prehistoric uses, it is used in several systems of medicine for treating variety of diseases.
Copper nanoparticles are utilised in solar cells, photodetectors, field emissions, lithium-ion batteries, magnetic storage media, electrochemical sensors,
supercapacitors, nanofluids, elimination of inorganic pollutants, and photocatalysis.The objective and aim of study is to biosynthesis and characterisation of copper
oxide (Cuo) nano particles using Cyperus rotundus leaf extract: An invitro anti cancer study in lung cancer cell line.The present study demonstrated the successful
green synthesis and characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) mediated using Cyperus rotundus extract, along with the evaluation of their
biological activity. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using SEM and FTIR analysis, and their anti-inflammatory activity was compared with the
standard drug diclofenac.In conclusion, the study on the antibacterial and antifungal activity of copper oxide nanoparticles derived from Cuperus rotundus leaves
leaves holds significant potential and offers several promising avenues for future research. The findings from such a study can contribute to various fields, including
biomedicine, agriculture, environmental remediation, material science, and surface coatings. The study demonstrates the potential of copper oxide nanoparticles
synthesized from Cuperus rotundus leaves as effective antibacterial and antifungal agents.
