Overview

This study demonstrates the synthesis of zirconia nanoparticles using Terminalia catappa extract, showing enhanced antibacterial and anticancer activities.

Key Points

  • Zirconia nanoparticles showed strong antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones up to 32 mm against specific bacteria.
  • The encapsulated nanoparticles exhibited an IC₅₀ of 32.63 μg/mL against A549 cancer cells, indicating potential for cancer treatment.
  • Characterization methods like UV-Vis and XRD confirmed the successful formation and structure of the zirconia nanoparticles.
  • Biogenic materials from Terminalia catappa may enhance the efficacy of nanoparticles, supporting eco-friendly approaches in medicine.
