CYTOTOXICITY OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING DRIED GINGER | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Copper nanoparticles are used in a wide range of fields, including medicine, agriculture, and engineering, to name a few. This biotechnology incorporates biological concepts of physical and chemical properties to create nano-sized particles with unusual properties. The quality of being harmful to cells is known as cytotoxicity. The goal of this study was to look at the cytotoxicity of copper nanoparticles made from dried ginger. Copper nanoparticles were synthesised using a green method and characterised using UV-VIS spectroscopy. The brine shrimp lethality assay was used to assess the cytotoxicity of the dried ginger induced copper nanoparticles at various concentrations. The findings showed that copper nanoparticles made from dried ginger had lower toxicity when used at lower concentrations. As a result, different nano-formulations of dried ginger mediated copper nanoparticles can be produced at optimal concentrations for safe and cost-effective therapeutics.
